To learn more about this project, check out our deep dive into Lazio Fan Token.
What Is Lazio Fan Token (LAZIO)?
Lazio Fan Token (LAZIO) is a fan token by Binance — the world’s biggest and most popular cryptocurrency exchange. So far, fan tokens have only been created by Socios, the company behind fan tokens for several other football clubs, such as PSG, and fan tokens for the UFC and car racing. Binance is leveraging the popularity of fan tokens, which give their holders ownership of the club’s governance and allow them to affect decisions, access exclusive promotions, unlock VIP rewards and gain special recognition by the club. Following the success of other fan tokens, Binance struck a deal with SS Lazio worth over 30 million euros lasting over two years, with the option to extend it for a third year. The president of Lazio expressed his satisfaction with the following statement:
“We are very satisfied with this new international collaboration. Our partnership with Binance will allow us to extend our digital presence and connect with our fans and followers from all over the world like never before.”
One can expect the success of the fan token to track the performance of the players on the pitch, with wins boosting demand and, therefore, the price.
Who Are the Founders of Lazio Fan Token?
SS Lazio is one of Italy’s most prestigious and long-standing clubs, with a rich history and recent Champions League participation. Lazio has two Seria A titles, seven Coppa Italia titles, three Supercoppa Italiana titles and one UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup and UEFA Super Cup title each. Binance is the world’s biggest cryptocurrency exchange, launched by Changpeng Zhao, the current CEO. Its Binance Coin (BNB) token is one of the most valuable tokens on the market. Binance struck a partnership deal with Socios, the company behind other fan tokens, in December 2020, which saw its launchpad act as a distribution platform for new fan tokens. That way, fan tokens are exposed to even more potential investors, raising the potential upside for fans that acquire them.
What Makes Lazio Fan Token Unique?
Lazio Fan Token follows the model of fan tokens by other football clubs. It represents ownership of a voting right and gives fans access to earn unique club-specific rewards and experiences. One example would be when fans influence specific decisions, such as determining the message on their captain’s armband. Fans also get the chance to win exclusive access to the club. For instance, they can visit the player area in the stadium or receive rights to watch a match in the VIP zone and get discounts on club merchandise.
Furthermore, by launching on the Binance Smart Chain, fans benefit from broader accessibility, more functionalities, and lower transaction costs. Binance is also planning voting sessions on Lazio affairs, loyalty subscriptions, fan shop integrations and a NFT collection for token holders.
