With some of the biggest names of the football industry like Manchester City, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain etc., offering their respective fan tokens, it was not a surprise to see that these tokens were up for a tremendous rally on 19 May. 

What led to a rally in Socios Fan Tokens?  

The Socios Fan Tokens rally was mainly on the back of news of the launch of the Jalapeno launch – the second phase of its Scoville testnet on Chiliz Network. Chilli protocol is the primary operation blockchain for the Socios platform, which drives its fan tokens market. 

The Testnet launch, which was announced on 17 May, had an immediate impact on the tokens to expand and reduce the supply. Chiliz protocol announced that it would be burning 2000 JUV and Inter Fan tokens, allowing the fans to interact more precisely and vote on the governance of various fan tokens.
