Chiliz (CHZ) Slides Further, But One Soccer Fan Token Defies the Crypto Winter Chiliz (CHZ) Slides Further, But One Soccer Fan Token Defies the Crypto Winter

The soccer fan token powerhouse Socios.com is going through a lot of hassle just two days before the finals of the FIFA World Cup 2022. Chiliz (CHZ), the company’s native cryptocurrency, has dropped out of the TOP 50 by total market capitalization. On top of that, most European soccer-related fan tokens have been experiencing daily bloodbaths, with most of the top ones facing double-digit weekly deficits.

Can Chiliz (CHZ) Restore Key Support Level?

CHZ couldn’t keep up with the harsh winds of the crypto winter and lost its multi-year $0.15 key resistance level. At press time, the #55 ranked soccer-related altcoin trades at$0.136639, according to CoinGecko. The altcoin powering most of the other European soccer fan tokens plunged by another 4.4% in the last 24 hours, but the weekly perspective looks even rougher, with 10.9% in the red. CHZ has been sinking in red ink for 30 days with a 38.8% deficit.

On the other hand, the official FIFA World Cup 2022 blockchain sponsor, Algorand (ALGO), is not doing much better. The 32nd-ranked soccer-related crypto is priced at $0.204030, according to CoinGecko. The price movement marks a 9.1% deficit in the last 24 hours and an eye-watering 28% in the last 30 days.

(Obviously, is not going to zero It’s a figure of speech).

Argentine Fan Token (ARG) Rises Before the Finals

In contrast to most of the altcoins getting tormented by the unsympathetic bears of the crypto winter, Argentinian soccer fans have a lot to cheer about. Not only did Argentina make it to the World Cup 2022 Finals to take on the defending champions, France, but the nation’s native soccer cryptocurrency also made great progress in a single day.

At press time, Argentine Football Association Fan Token (ARG) is priced at $6.78, signaling an enormous increase in the last 24 hours. The national soccer token of Argentina has skyrocketed by 34% since yesterday while also recording 153% gains in the last seven days, as the Latin American country cheers for Messi and the squad in hopes of lifting the title.
