CHZ coins were released to the market in 2018. But it didn’t have any price until July 2019, when it started to become more popular among sports fans. The initial price of CHZ was $0.02, and it didn’t change for one year. Then it had a price jump in 2021 and suddenly reached its highest value of $0.89. The rest of the year passed with an average price of $0.50. Like most cryptocurrencies, 2022 wasn’t that much great for CHZ owners. Its price fluctuated a lot, but never reached that high to set a record. It ended the year with a price of $0.10. 

Cryptocurrency investors often want to know what the cryptocurrency's future holds. But the future is unpredictable, especially in the volatile world of cryptocurrencies. However, to make it easier to decide about buying a coin, analysts and crypto experts analyze the past and current situation of the crypto market and give price predictions, which can be useful but should not be the only factor you pick to decide on buying crypto. They think the CHZ price might finally get higher than $1 by 2028 and would rise as high as $3 by 2030.

The Fan Tokens show interest in a particular sports team, especially football clubs. The platform was launched in December 2019. The first sports partner to this platform was the Italian soccer team of Turin.

regulation necessity was published by the Intergovernmental Fintech Working Group (IFWG)
with the supervision of the South African Reserve Bank. The position paper's objective is to
offer detailed advice on how to create a regulatory framework for digital assets, along with
recommendations on how to carry out the necessary regulatory changes. According to the same
paper mentioned above, “A crypto asset is a digital representation of value that is not issued by
a central bank, but is capable of being traded, transferred or stored electronically by regular
individuals and legal persons for the purpose of payment, investment and other forms of utility;
