Argentinas advance to the Copa America finals has almost doubled the market value of the countrys fan token, ARG.

The tokens price has increased by over 65% in the last 24 hours, making it the second-largest soccer coin by market value.

ARG Token Soars by Over 65%

According to CoinGecko data, the price of the ARG token has increased by 98.8% over the past week, reaching $2.34, its highest level since May 30. At the time of writing, the token was trading at $2.34 and was up by 67.8%, driven by the excitement surrounding Argentinas Copa America performance.

This increase in value has made ARG the most heavily traded fan token in the market. Its daily trading volume has increased by 578.50%, reaching $23.8 million. This figure is nearly four times higher than that of the Paris Saint-Germain fan token, which holds the title of the largest soccer token by market value.

However, it still falls short of the record $32.4 million achieved during the lead-up to the 2022 Qatar World Cup, which Argentina also won. This tournament saw the token reach its all-time high of $9.1.

Meanwhile, the Spain National Football Team fan token (SNFT) also saw a 10% increase in value following Spains victory over France in the European Championship. On Tuesday, Spains 2-1 win led to the SNFTs price rising from $0.023 to $0.026.

Launched in 2021, the ARG token was issued by the Argentine Football Association through Socios.com, a fan engagement platform powered by the Chiliz blockchain. Chiliz.net serves as the primary trading platform for sports and entertainment tokens, and it is partnered with Chiliz ($CHZ) and Socios.com.

Holders of the ARG token gain access to various exclusive team activities, experiences, and VIP services. These include the opportunity to meet the teams players and access the Estadio Monumental, a historic football stadium in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
