Despite crypto market downturn, Chiliz (CHZ) has rallied witnessing an uptick of more than 9 per cent in the last 7 days. The unexpected surge could be attributed to the FIFA World Cup which is slated to start on November 20.
CHZ, the native token of Chiliz, a global blockchain provider for the sports industry has outperformed several top cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) in the past couple of days. According to CoinMarketCap, CHZ is up 7.30 per cent in the last 24 hours, currently hovering around $0.2446. CHZ is now one of the best-performing cryptocurrencies in the current week.
FIFA Triggers Chiliz Rally
This is because CHZ is the exclusive utility token for the Socios platform, which hosts fan tokens allowing users to take part in the mangement’s decisions. Crypto experts believe CHZ may rally even further as fans will rush to the platform catapulting the token demand dramatically.
Alexandre Dreyfus, CEO of Chiliz and Socios.com had earlier expressed his excitement about how the World Cup 2022 will boost CHZ. Dreyfus wrote,
“I’m excited about the World Cup starting later this week, but it lasts 30 days or so. I’m much more excited about the new features & utility both socios and Chiliz chain (CHZ) will have after the World Cup.”
I'm excited about the World Cup starting later this week, but it lasts 30 days or so. I'm much more excited about the new features & utility (both @socios and Chiliz chain @chiliz $CHZ) that we will have after the World Cup 🙂 Zoom out. Focus on the long-term and not the hype.
