Paris Sain — Germain and Blockchain

Check out our new platform: https://thecapital.io/

Members of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) — Neymar and Kylan Mbappé, as well as veterans like David Beckham, will have their own collectible digital player cards. Everything will be based on the Sorare blockchain platform.

The French football club Paris Saint-Germain will now be issuing collector’s items for fans. They will be token-based. All this will be achieved thanks to the collaboration with Socios.com.

The club has therefore become the hundredth football club to join the blockchain-based Sorare platform.

The result is that PSG players like Neymar, Kylian Mbappé, and David Beckham will be somewhat ‘tokenized’ — the platform will issue their digital player cards and in limited quantity. The value of the cards will depend on the actual performance of the players in the league tables, and the “rarity” of the collector cards is guaranteed by blockchain technology.

In a conversation with Cointelegraph, the Sorare spokesman explained that the card system had been tested since December 2019.

Entering the US market

The news about the new partnership also coincides with Sorare’s debut in the United States of America.

– We believe that by having [in our portfolio]100 clubs and three of the 10 best football clubs in the world — Juventus, PSG, Atletico Madrid, we are now well on our way to start advertising [our e-card] game,” said the platform spokesperson.

Prior to the US launch, he noted that the game “needed to be refined, in areas such as the scoring matrix and gameplay progress.”

Since its launch in March 2019, Sorare has generated as much as $2 million in card sales in 60 countries.

On Nonfungible, the ranking page for blockchain games and issuers of collectable, nonreplaceable tokens (NFT), Sorare is now ranked 5th. The platform’s seven-day volume is now $205.131 — compared to $954 231 from Cryptokitties, which is the current market leader.

The NFT model first gained significance in 2017 with the launch of Cryptokitties, which, like Sorare, is based on the Ethereum Blockchain.

How to play and earn in CryptoKitties

CryptoKitties is a blockchain-based game where players can buy, sell and breed digital cats with unique attributes. Reminiscent of Tamagotchi and Pokémon, the wildly popular digital pets and creatures of the 1990s, CryptoKitties is a blockchain-based game where players can collect, trade and breed digital virtual cats. CryptoKitties was the first Ethereum-based game, and its popularity underscored many of the network’s scaling issues. This digital cat-breeding blockchain game caused quite a bit of congestion on the Ethereum blockchain, peaking in 2020. However, the game’s creators were able to address these issues. What is CryptoKitties? Launched in 2017, CryptoKitties was built by Dapper Labs, the company that uses blockchain technology to bring nonfungible tokens (NFTs) and new forms of digital engagement to fans around the world. CryptoKitties is also considered one of the world’s first-ever blockchain games. In the game, each one of the digital collectible cats possesses a

Bitcoin dominance falls under 40%

While Bitcoin critics claim this means that BTC is losing its first-mover competitive advantage, others are anticipating the “altcoin season” is just around the corner, or might even be already underway. Bitcoin’s market dominance has continued to fall, bottoming out below 40% this week. That’s very close to the all-time low of 36.7% in Jan 2018 according to data from Tradingview. Bitcoin ( BTC ) market dominance refers to the ratio between BTC’s market cap and the total crypto market cap. It's not the first time dominance has dipped in 2021.
