Getting in Early on World Cup Narrative Tokens: How Many Xs Can You Make? Every World Cup season, the hottest topic is always how the related sector tokens will perform. Russia World Cup, June 2018: Back then, there were only a few related tokens in the market, but the pumps were insane—WICC, for example, did over 6x on average. Qatar World Cup, November 2022: That year, Binance listed a bunch of club fan tokens, but the hype started about half a year before the actual World Cup. Most of them did 2-3x on average. Next up: US-Canada-Mexico World Cup, June 2026: Right now, most fan tokens are seeing almost zero volume and are just moving sideways on the weekly chart. Here’s my game plan: On Binance, the main play is CHZ, since most sports fan tokens are built on it—it’s basically the blue-chip sports narrative token. Among Binance’s “Fan Token Trio”—Santos, Lazio, Porto—I think only Santos stands out. Both in terms of volume and how it’s being traded, it’s clearly stronger than the other two. If you’re bullish on the World Cup narrative for June next year, now’s the time to start positioning.
