has been on a frenzy over the past year, however, its high volatility and the need for less volatile cryptocurrencies are being mentioned again among crypto enthusiasts.  

Increasing interest for Bitcoin and other crypto-assets among individuals and institutional investors makes a perfect case for broader blockchain and crypto adoption. However, while the number of investors interested in BTC continues to grow, demand for less-volatile and more sophisticated crypto assets has also been on a rise.

A rising demand means that the importance of these stablecoins is increasing as well, especially when it comes to new blockchain applications. Looking closely shows that DeFi applications and cryptocurrencies that are more centralized actually operate much closer together than it appears at first sight. 

DeFi is expected to provide a number of financial inclusion and accessibility offerings and it looks like stablecoins will play a major role in delivery of those goals.

Chiliz (CHZ) price gained 17.3% yesterday to swing into the green territory after recording losses in the first part of the week. Curve DAO (CRV) price is another major beneficiary of the uptrend witnessed in some altcoins in the past two days. 

The price action rose nearly 25% in the past two days to erase losses of over 18% recorded on Monday. Finally, TomoChain (TOMO) price is up over 11% today to hit the highest levels last seen in August. As seen in the chart, TOMO price stopped at 127.2% Fibonacci retracement at $1.42.

Interest for stablecoins and other crypto assets with low volatility has been growing lately, as it appears that these assets will play an important role in the future of blockchain and decentralized finance (DeFi).

The football clubs are using the platform as a part of their fan engagement strategy by conducting Fan Token Offerings (FTO).

Furthermore, Binance will list PSG and JUV fan tokens in the innovation zone on 21 December 2020. The trading pairs available will be PSG/BTC, PSG/USDT, PSG/BUSD, JUV/BTC, JUV/USDT, and JUV/BUSD.

($BAR).

With an estimated 300 million fans worldwide, the partnership between Chiliz and FC Barcelona could be massive for crypto adoption among the club’s fanbase.

The Catalan giants announced the news of the partnership via a statement on its website on Thursday (February 13, 2019). According to the statement, the tokens will enable millions of Blaugrana faithful worldwide to take part in surveys and pools on Socios — the Chiliz mobile app.

Commenting on the recent partnership, Josep Pont, FC Barcelona Board Member and Head of Commercial Area, said:

In a press release issued by Chiliz announcing the partnership, Alexandre Dreyfus the company’s CEO remarked that launching such a crypto token gives fans the power to make decisions concerning the club. According to Dreyfus:

In addition to having the power to vote on various topics, Barca fans who engage with the club via Chiliz’s app will get rewarded with points that supporters can swap with merchandise and Barca unique experiences.

Fans can purchase the crypto tokens when the club’s Fan token offering (FTO) goes live. Furthermore, Barça supporters can only get the $BARs using $CHZ, Chiliz’s native token, which is available on different virtual currency exchanges. The duo is set to roll out 40 million $BARs in Q2 2020, with the crypto token costing €2 apiece.

The Barcelona fan token increases the number of football clubs to create their own digital coins for their supporters via partnerships with Socios. Back in December 2019, Juventus Football Club in partnership with Socios.com, reportedly launched the world’s first fan token offering (FTO) to allow fans to choose the club’s goal celebration song.

The Turkish football club, Galatasaray, also joined the league of clubs to roll out its own fan token in collaboration with the blockchain sports engagement platform, Socios, to increase fan engagement.

Recently, Chiliz announced that thousands of its native token, $CHZ, along with tokens of top football clubs like Juventus, PSG, and A.S Roma, were available via a token hunt on the Socios.com platform.

Apart from fan tokens, crypto is also seeing some adoption in the sporting arena with English Premier League side Watford FC inking a sponsorship deal with Sportsbet.io to put the bitcoin logo on their jersey sleeves. In September 2019, Turkish professional football team Yeni Malatyaspor also signed a sponsorship deal with local crypto exchange platform BtcTurk.

As previously reported by Blockonomi, Heritage Sports Holdings (HSH) purchased Italian amateur football side Rimini FC, making payment in bitcoin. This event made the club the first footballing side bought using cryptocurrency.

Apart from football, there have been other crypto-sports collaborations with franchises like the National Basketball Association (NBA) and the National Football League (NFL) among others.

Tezos [XTZ]

The latest entrant to CoinMarketCap’s top-10 cryptocurrency rankings, Tezos [XTZ] was buzzing with a market cap of $2.281 billion, at press time. The security token was valued at $3.29 after surging by 13.57% over the last 24 hours. Additionally, XTZ had surged by 32.57% over the last seven days.

This is an interesting development as the price surge came after cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex announced increasing maximum leverage from 2x to 3.3x while reducing initial equity from 50% to 30% for Tezos margin trading on its platform.

Following the development, Bitfinex CTO Paulo Ardoino had commented,

Bitcoin Diamond [BCD]

Bitcoin‘s bullish rally this year precipitated a rally for its fork coins too. One of Bitcoin’s many forked coins is Bitcoin Diamond [BCD], an altcoin that has started to gain traction recently. BCD took a plunge of 28.6% over the past week after posting an impressive rally this year. However, the coin was showing signs of recovery, at the time of writing.

Over the past 24 hours, BCD had surged by 14.75%. At press time, Bitcoin Diamond held a market cap of $152 million and was priced at $0.818. The fork coin registered a 24-hour trading volume of $19.18 million across 21 exchanges.

Chiliz [CHZ]

Chiliz made headlines recently after one of Spain’s premier football clubs, FC Barcelona, dived inro the crypto-realm by partnering with Chiliz in a bid to develop a blockchain-based token for the sports club.

Soon after the announcement, the price of the Chiliz token had shot up to close to the crucial $0.017 mark, a level unseen since November 2019. In fact, over the past seven days, the token recorded a growth of 42.89%.

However, off-late, CHZ has been on a decline. At press time, the coin’s value had fallen to $0.013 as it held a market cap fo $61.9 million and a 24-hour trading volume of $13.18 million. Over the past 24 hours, Chiliz had registered a fall of 5.35%.

ZCash [ZEC]

Post the crypto-market rally, ZCash lost 15.91% over the last one week.

However, the latest protocol passed by the community provided some relief to the coin’s valuation.

ZCash soared by 7.93% in 24 hours after the community passed the much-debated ZCash Improvement Protocol [ZIP 1014], one that aims to allocate 80% of ZEC issuance to miners on 17 February.

At press time, the value of the privacy coin stood at $62.57. Additionally, ZEC held a market cap of $564 million and a 24-hour trading volume of $816.12 billion.

new foray centers around Chiliz, the platform powering the Socios.com sports and esports fan token site. On March 4th, Chiliz revealed it would be integrating with Chainlink’s tech to open up possibilities around automatically creating on-chain collectibles based on real-world events.

“This integration will enable Chiliz to mint [NFTs] for partners on … fan voting and rewards app Socios.com in real time, based on data securely provided by Chainlink’s decentralized oracle network,” the Chiliz team said.

In the same announcement, the platform’s backers also confirmed they would be working on launching a Chainlink Price Reference Contract for CHZ/USD, with CHZ being the project’s Chiliz token that serves as the currency of the Socios.com marketplace. That’s more early traction for Chainlink, as the oracle providers only unveiled their price reference networks back in January.

Chiliz, which allows fans to use NFTs to engage with teams in novel ways, has seemingly been on the rise as of late — just look at who they have recently been working with.

Last month, FC Barcelona — the richest football club in the world — announced a partnership with Chiliz over the creation of the Barca Fan Token (BAR) for Socios.com, for example. It was the powerhouse team’s first collaboration with a firm from the blockchain sector.

Josep Pont, one of FC Barcelona’s directors, said at the time.

Chiliz has previously locked down similar partnerships with other top football clubs like Atlético de Madrid, Juventus, and Paris Saint-Germain, a reality that suggests other notable teams may follow suit in the near future.

Chainlink doesn’t seem to slow down, does it?

On March 4th, Big Four professional services firm EY and Ethereum venture studio ConsenSys jointly announced Baseline Protocol, a new tool aimed at helping businesses use the Ethereum mainnet privately and affordably and for a range of activities.

The solution’s inaugural technical steering committee includes the likes of DeFi projects like Chainlink and MakerDAO, as well as mainstream corporate heavyweights like Microsoft and AMD. All will now work together to build out Baseline’s open-source codebase.

Naturally, Chainlink’s contributions will focus on oracle infrastructure, with the wider end goal being to turn Ethereum itself into a sort of “middleware” layer through which enterprises can flexibly undertake a wide range of business activities. As ConsenSys mainnet specialist John Wolpert explained on the news:

The new project comes on the heels of the Chainlink team joining the “Ethereum Mainnet Integration for Enterprises,” or EMINENT, task force earlier this year. Backed by the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance’s EEA Mainnet Working Group, the initiative is focused on creating open standards for corporate record-keeping processes on Ethereum.

“We’re excited to work closely with the EMINENT Task Force to continually push the boundaries of what’s possible in public blockchain environments,” Chainlink’s co-founder Sergey Nazarov said.

Combined with the Baseline Protocol news, Chainlink’s EMINENT appointment makes the project well-positioned to make lasting differences with regard to the way enterprises operate in the Ethereum ecosystem going forward.

In launching our own niche exchange, where only Fan Tokens can be traded, we’re also opening a new narrative for media — seeing an instantly recognisable ticker symbol in the exchange and tracking the changes in the index ranking of each team’s crypto asset.”While Chiliz is headquartered in Malta, Chiliz.net will be operated from Singapore, as part of the company’s growth plans in Asia. In Q4 of last year, the company also announced the opening of a research, development & partnerships blockchain hub to be based in Beijing to support the Chinese sports industry’s adoption of blockchain technology, whilst in Korea, Chiliz also recently announced the appointment of Brian Hyunmin Han, formerly part of the team within Klatyn of Ground X, as Managing Director for Chiliz in South Korea with direct responsibility for business development within the country.Chiliz has undergone a remarkable period of growth since raising $60m in 2018. The company now has 60+ team members, spanning 24 different nationalities, and across multiple disciplines, bringing with them invaluable experience from industries such as sports, gaming, entertainment and payment solutions. The reach of $CHZ has also expanded significantly with several key listings on exchanges including Crypto.com, Bitfinex, Bitpanda, Indian crypto exchange WazirX and Coinone — one of the biggest cryptocurrency exchanges in Korea — as well as Binance, who are also a strategic investor.Chiliz.net will initially be available in seven different languages, including Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai, Turkish and English.
