Despite losing to Real Betis in Sunday’s La Liga clash, both the valuation and trade volume of the Valencia Fan Token ($VCF) had surged to beyond quarterly highs by Monday morning.

While Bitcoin sank to yearly lows and the broader market took its biggest dip since October, the $VCF token not only avoided the crash, but appeared to thrive.

$VCF Defies Market with 44% Surge

From a daily low of $0.09, the valuation of the Valencia Fan Token ($VCF) climbed to $0.13 by early on Jan. 2, marking a 44% growth surge within less than 24 hours.

That’s the highest the $VCF token price has climbed since October, 2025. The price surge was accompanied by a huge influx to trade volume, as the daily average changeover jumped from $99,000 to over $1.2 million.

Earlier this week the token’s trade volume peaked at $1.8 million, which was the highest recorded since August of last year.

Something’s Cooking at Valencia?

The surging valuation of $VCF comes shortly after a weekend loss to Real Betis which Valencia lost 2-1 thanks to an 88th minute decider.

Valencia currently sit two points clear of the relegation zone and also two points off a top-ten spot after an inconsistent season on the pitch.

Despite the loss on the pitch, as well as the broader market dip which carried Bitcoin to a low not witnessed since 2024, Valencia fans and traders appear to believe there’s value in $VCF at current prices.

Earlier in January the $VCF Fan Token price climbed 30% in a short, sharp spike following an announcement that the club had secured telecoms firm Telefónica as an official partner for its new 70,000-seater stadium, which is expected to be completed by next year.

Unlike that short surge which was over as quickly as it started, the past week has seen consistent action in the $VCF markets. More trade volume has been witnessed in $VCF in the past seven days than in any other weekly period since last Autumn.

The token price now stands 47% higher than this time last week, and is now not too far off its six-month high of $0.17.
