There has been a lot of excitement in the Fan Token ecosystem, particularly among Fan Tokens clubs that will be participating in the European Tournament this season.

Manchester City is one of the Fan Token clubs included in the recent European football draws announced earlier this week.

This draw has had a positive momentum on the price action on Manchester City’s Fan Token $CITY as it recorded a strong rally, underlining how real-world football events continue to influence crypto markets.

Champions League Tournament Hype Drives $CITY’s Price Momentum

Manchester City’s inclusion in the upcoming elite European competition has sparked fresh optimism among its fan base and Fan Token holders.

The Fan Token climbed 9% after the draw, reflecting renewed market confidence and excitement ahead of the tournament. At the time of writing, $CITY is priced at $1.05, with a 24-hour trading volume of $15,935,072.

This represents a 3.70% daily price increase, though the token remains down -1.78% over the past week, showing how short-term enthusiasm is countering recent bearish sentiment. With a circulating supply of 11 million tokens, $CITY currently holds a market cap of $11.4 million, keeping it among the notable sports tokens on the Chiliz-powered ecosystem.

Trading Activity Surges Over 1,100% in 24 Hours

Perhaps the most eye-catching metric isn’t just CITY’s price but its explosive rise in activity. Trading volume spiked by 1,121.20% compared to the previous day, showing that the European tournament draw has energised both fans and traders.

This volume surge signals strong participation from retail buyers and possibly new entrants, who anticipate more momentum as Manchester City progress in the competition.

The move mirrors a broader trend across Fan Tokens: as major European clubs gear up for continental action, their Fan Tokens are enjoying renewed demand. For holders, $CITY continues to represent both a way to engage with the club and a speculative play tied to Manchester City’s presence on Europe’s biggest stage.
