Leading South Korean crypto exchange UPbit, lists seven additional Chiliz football Fan Tokens, joining PSG and JUV.
The price of football Fan Token powerhouse Chiliz is rising this week after its steep drop during the FIFA World Cup 2022. The sports blockchain provider has bounced about 10% in the past week, but still has a long way to go to recover the $0.15 multi-year support line.
Chiliz price movement comes right after the largest South Korean crypto exchange UPbit, announced the listing of seven Fan Tokens released by some of the most established European football clubs. The new Fan Tokens listed are FC Barcelona, AC Milan, Manchester City, Napoli, Inter Milan, Arsenal and Atletico Madrid.
