Although he has not yet reached the top of his technical level, the arrival of Argentine star Lionel Messi to Paris Saint-Germain has given a strong boost to the cryptocurrency of the French club, according to the Spanish sports newspaper, Marca.
In 2018, Paris Saint-Germain signed an agreement with Socios to develop its digital currency, becoming the first sports club to enter the world of cryptocurrency.
The cryptocurrency targets Paris Saint-Germain fans, as it gives them the possibility to take advantage of a wide range of benefits associated with the club and its activities, and they will also be able to participate in team decisions by voting.
And “Marca” stated that the Saint-Germain administration decided to move forward with its commitment to this virtual currency, especially with the inclusion of Argentine star Messi on a three-year contract, during which he will receive 110 million euros.
She added: “One of the most important news regarding this virtual currency, is that the contract with Messi includes receiving payments in cryptocurrency.”
And she continued: “And therefore, the contract with Messi boosted the value of the virtual currency of Paris Saint-Germain, which grew by 43%, and reached its highest level ever on the day Leo was presented to the French fans, as its value at that time amounted to 63.3 dollars, after its initial value was not more than 4 dollars. “.
The Paris Saint-Germain coin is currently worth $16, making it the most powerful cryptocurrency in the world of football clubs, followed by Manchester City and Barcelona.
