The sports industry is undergoing a blockchain revolution. The data speaks for itself: the secondary market trading volume of NBA Top Shot has surpassed $1 billion, with monthly active users steadily maintaining at 800,000. The football sector is also not willing to fall behind—Sorare, a card game, has attracted over 5 million users and established partnerships with 300 football clubs worldwide. Even UFC has started to get involved, launching the "Warrior Token," allowing fans to share in athletes' sponsorship income and prize money through token purchases.
The International Olympic Committee's actions are even more telling. The 2024 Paris Olympics will sell digital souvenirs in NFT form, with an expected revenue of $200 million from these transactions. This is not a test; it is a formal embrace of blockchain assetization by mainstream sports organizations.
From the data, the current size of the sports tokenization market has reached $3.4 billion. But this may just be the beginning. Deloitte's prediction is quite bold—by 2027, this market will expand to over $20 billion. Where is the main driver of growth coming from? The rise of Asian and Latin American markets. The fan base in these regions is enormous, and their acceptance of digital assets is rapidly increasing.
Fan economy is officially entering the digital age, and blockchain has become the underlying infrastructure of this transformation.

NBA Top Shot has long cooled off. Who's still playing now? Sorare is also a thing of the past. The acceptance of digital assets is rapidly increasing? Just blowing hot air here.

I don't believe those NBA numbers; it should have been cleaned up a long time ago.

I also invested in NBA Top Shot back then, but I sold it early haha
Waiting for the bubble to burst in 2027
Asian fans are indeed passionate, but this data might be a bit exaggerated
Wait, can the Warriors token pay dividends? That’s even more attractive than stocks?
20 billion? Deloitte’s prediction must have taken a lot of shitcoins to dare say that
Sorare is still alive, I thought it was dead
The Paris Olympics NFT is amazing, IOC is also starting to play Web3, which is truly outrageous
Fan economy combined with blockchain is just a new way to cut leeks

I've already said it, sports + blockchain is the next gold mine. Stop focusing on those old projects.
