As part of this, Socios.com will launch the Official Fan Token of AC Milan ($ACM).<\/p>\n<p>The $ACM Fan Token will be launched and go on sale in the coming weeks in a Fan Token Offering (FTO) on fan engagement and rewards app Socios.com and Chiliz.net, the world&#8217;s first tokenized sports exchange. The fans can purchase the token directly through their mobile phone via the Socios.com fan engagement app.<\/p>\n<p>About 450 million global fans of AC Milan can use $ACM Fan Tokens to access a wide range of benefits including voting rights in club polls, VIP rewards, &#8216;super-fan&#8217; recognition, club &amp; sponsor promotions, games and chat forums on Socios.com.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the other teams on the blockchain-powered fan engagement platform include Spain&#8217;s La Liga soccer clubs Atl\u00e9tico de Madrid and FC Barcelona as well as European league clubs, France&#8217;s Paris Saint-Germain, Italy&#8217;s Juventus and AS Roma as well as UK&#8217;s West Ham United and Argentina&#8217;s Club Atl\u00e9tico Independiente.<\/p>\n<p>Recent additions to the platform include three football clubs from Turkey &#8211; Galatasaray, Trabzonspor and Istanbul Basaksehir. As they are working with more Turkish clubs to join the platform, Socios.com is planning to open an Istanbul-based office with an initial staff of 20.<\/p>\n<p>Fan Tokens for Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus, AS Roma and Galatasaray have already been listed on world-leading crypto exchanges, including Binance. Fan Tokens have generated $30 million for clubs and partners in 12 months and look set to become a powerful new revenue stream for the sports industry.<\/p>\n<p>The Fan Token will help expand the club&#8217;s global fan engagement strategy and their global audience by bringing fans closer to the club. Meanwhile, Socios is expected to benefit from a wide range of marketing rights including in-stadium, TV and digital exposure.<\/p>\n<p>Socios.com is powered by Malta-based esports voting platform ChiliZ, which allows both esports and sports entities to tokenize their voting rights to their fan bases to crowd-manage sports and esports organizations.<\/p>\n<p>The AC MIilan Fan Token ($ACM) will be tradeable against the Socios.com platform&#8217;s native token, ChiliZ ($CHZ), with the fans needed to purchase ChiliZ tokens to exchange into Fan Tokens through a process known as a FTO.<\/p>\n<p>In April, Socios.com announced plans to launch blockchain-powered COVID-19 immunity passes for global football fans to enable them to attend live games at stadiums in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>The Socios Pass, an ID and immunity verification tool, will allow fans holding &#8220;Proof of Immunity&#8221; to return to the stadium and watch live games more safely and securely. The pass will include immunity certificates issued by <span class=\"landLinks\">health<\/span> authorities. It will use blockchain technology and QR codes. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Technology News<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n        window.fbAsyncInit = function () {\n            FB.init({\n                status: true,\n                cookie: true,\n                xfbml: true\n            });\n        };\n        (function (d) {\n            var js, id = 'facebook-jssdk'; if (d.getElementById(id)) { return; }\n            js = d.createElement('script'); js.id = id; js.async = true;\n            js.src = \"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/all.js\";\n            d.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(js);\n        }(document));\n    <\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<br \/>Italian Soccer Club AC Milan Joins Socios.com To Launch Fan Token<\/a><br \/>\n<br \/>2021-01-19 14:17:19<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Italian professional football club Associazione Calcio Milan or AC Milan has inked a deal with blockchain platform Socios.com to be the &#8220;Official Fan Token&#8221; partner of the club.
