DFor German football and investors, this shared history is not glorious. The fan bonds issued by Bundesliga clubs seem to have very high interest rates, as high as 6.5%, but they pose a considerable risk to investors. After all, clumsy clubs like 1. FC Köln, Werder Bremen or the debt-laden FC Schalke 04 rely on their extensive fan base to help them make ends meet. 1. FC Kaiserslautern performed poorly last year and had to ask creditors to postpone the payment of bond interest. Investors have no interest in these two listed football clubs.The stock price is Dortmund The volatility is violent, one-third lower than the issue price in 2000. The share of the four types of Spielvereinigung Unterhaching is even two-thirds cheaper than when it was launched in mid-2019.
Maybe the kickers and investors can be better integrated in another way: through encrypted value, a kind of Bundesliga Bitcoin. As the sample from FAS shows, some large clubs have considered this a lot. Florian Hopp, the CFO of Champions League participant RB Leipzig, has not seen any added value in the so-called fan token, which is a mixture of encrypted value and share. However, according to Hope, there is still a chance in the future: “From the perspective of our internationalization efforts, this may be interesting.” 1. Cologne One person also pays close attention to this topic. However, “in order to be able to make a final assessment,” FC managing director Alexander Wehrle (Alexander Wehrle) said: “Each source of income must also have a market.”
When the world’s superstars change, the opportunities for the club and its investors have recently become apparent Lionel Messi Go to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), the top French club. The transfer is spectacular in several ways. First of all, because the little Argentine has been in tears for 21 years and without a transfer fee, he turned his back on the Barcelona Football Club that he grew up and succeeded in. Secondly, because the transfer exposed the financial problems of the club. Third, this change is sensational, because Messi’s reported welcome funding of less than 30 million euros also includes shares in cryptocurrencies.
The Capital Club stated that this is said to be a “significant” amount. In any case, this is a good business. Not only did PSG fan tokens suddenly become popular, but in the days before and after Messi’s arrival, the transaction volume also reached 1.2 billion US dollars. Since the value of the token has doubled by as much as $50 in five days, not only fan investors may be pleased: it is estimated that PSG made at least 15 million euros. Messi’s salary can be paid for about five months.
Similar fan tokens are easily bought and sold on cryptocurrency exchanges. There are also other top European clubs such as Manchester City, Juventus Turin or AC Milan. It is speculated that the club can not only make money through it, but also further strengthen its connection with supporters and make digital investment products more popular. By buying tokens like this, fans can not only feel like an investor, but they can also contribute more than just singing or cursing in the stadium.
