The wait is almost over, La Liga returns on August 15 with Rayo Vallecano hosting Girona in what promises to be a high-energy curtain-raiser. Clubs have been busy reshaping squads, finalising tactics, and setting their ambitions for the year ahead. Meanwhile, in the crypto sports market, Fan Token prices have also set their starting positions for the season. Here’s where the major La Liga clubs stand before a ball is kicked.

Barcelona – BAR: $1.30

The FC Barcelona Fan Token ($BAR) sits at $1.30, down 1.69% in the past 24 hours but recorded a modest 13.43% over the past one month — reflecting growing optimism as the champions prepare to defend their crown. However, the trading volume suffered a significant decline by 52% in the last seven days.

Thankfully, the excitement around the imminent start of the new season, coupled with top signings like Marcus Rashford, has left the Fans and token holders excited. With these events, coupled with a circulating supply of 5.2 million from total supply of 39 million, $BAR is poised for a massive boom in the coming days, weeks or months.

Taking a look at last season performance, Hansi Flick’s side steamrolled the competition last season, with Raphinha, Lewandowski, and Lamine Yamal forming a fearsome front three. Without big-name summer arrivals, Barça are banking on continuity, team chemistry, and their relentless style to keep them on top. They begin the season as the outright favourites.

Atletico Madrid – ATM: $1.57

The Atletico Madrid Fan Token (ATM) is priced at $1.57, slipping 2.41% in the past day but gaining 10.20% across the week. Meanwhile, $ATM has tested remarkable gains in the past one month with the Fan Token recording a monthly of 46.9% to take its price to $1.58. Sadly, trading activity decreased drastically by 54% in the past week. However, there is still the possibility of a rebound with the circulating supply currently at 6.9 million tokens out of the total supply of 10 million.

On the other hand, Diego Simeone’s side, often locked in the role of La Liga’s “third wheel,” have spent aggressively to close the gap on the top two. With a refreshed squad and Simeone’s trademark grit, Atletico will be dangerous from the opening whistle. A strong start could make this Fan Token an early mover.

Sevilla – $SEVILLA: $0.1953

The Sevilla Fan Token ($SEVILLA) opens at $0.1953, down 1.40% in the last 24 hours but modestly up 3.69% over the week. In the past one month, $SEVILLA has struggled to cross the $0.1953 mark. The trading volume has faced a bearish pressure as trading activity dipped by -49% in the previous week. However, with 3.7 million $SEVILLA Tokens in circulation, there is still room for more tokens to be unlocked, given that the total supply is setting at 10 million tokens.

On the pitch, however, things look grim. After narrowly avoiding relegation last season, they’ve failed to bring in transformative signings. New boss Matias Almeyda faces a huge challenge in keeping the club safe while reigniting fan faith, both in the stadium and in the market.

Fan Token Snapshot Before Kick-off:

BAR: $1.30 (7D +13.43%)
ATM: $1.57 (7D +10.20%)
SEVILLA: $0.1953 (7D +3.69%)

As La Liga’s new season begins, Fan Token markets will likely mirror the drama on the pitch, rewarding clubs that start strong and punishing those that stumble
