Tokeny Powers The First Compliant Tokenization of Football Players’ Image Rights

9th December, Luxembourg – Tokenchampions is the first investment fund that tokenizes debts for the acquisition and management of international football players’ image rights. Partnering with tokenization platform provider Tokeny, Tokenchampions makes this asset accessible for retail investors in Europe for as little as €100. Furthermore, a secondary market solution will be offered to improve liquidity.

The selection of the football players is headed by Josep Maria Minguella, who discovered and developed talents like Maradona, Messi, Stoichkov and Guardiola, among others. In this first issuance, Tokenchampions is incorporating young football stars on the rise with enormous growth potential, including Nicolò Zaniolo (Roma), Rúl Moro (Lazio), Bobby Adekanye (Lazio) and David Navarro (Atlético de Madrid Youth A Sub-19).

As an investor, it has traditionally been difficult to invest in the football business, either because the minimum investment amount is very high or because there is simply no access to such investment opportunities. In addition, this type of asset is notoriously illiquid, further complicating the investment in the field.

Tokenchampions aims to change that through tokenization, the process to digitize assets on the blockchain. Assets can be programmed and fractionated with this technology, allowing for smaller investments and automated compliance.

By using Tokeny’s Billboard, Tokenchampions also provides a secondary market for investors, enabling them to meet other eligible counterparts and make compliant peer-to-peer transactions prior to the maturity date.

Tokenchampions has been structured in Luxembourg, as Bill 7637 gives clear regulatory status to blockchain as the underlying technology for the issuance and circulation of securities. This is yet another demonstration that Luxembourg is the hub for asset tokenization, attracting more serious and promising projects. Both token issuers and investors will benefit greatly from the tokenization ecosystem that is being developed and completed here.
