Risk warning
Last updated:
The risks of fan tokens and other crypto-assets, and why nothing on SportFi Tracker is investment advice.
In short
Crypto-assets, including fan tokens, are highly volatile and exposed to cyber risks. You may lose all or part of your capital. Nothing on this site is investment advice.
The main risks
- Loss of capital: the value of a fan token can fall sharply or to zero. Only use money you can afford to lose.
- Volatility: prices can move by large amounts within hours, often around matches, transfers, results or announcements.
- Cyber risks: exchanges and wallets can be hacked or fail; phishing and scams target token holders. If you lose access to a wallet, your tokens are usually lost.
- Liquidity: many fan tokens trade on few platforms and in small volumes, so selling at the displayed price may not be possible.
- Issuer and club dependence: a token's utility (polls, rewards) depends on its issuer and club, which can change or end it.
- Regulation: rules on crypto-assets differ between countries and change over time; some platforms are not authorised where you live.
Our Academy explains these risks in more detail in Fan token risks and how to stay safe.
No investment advice
SportFi Tracker publishes data and explanations. It never tells you to buy, sell or hold a token, and it provides no crypto-asset service within the meaning of Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 (MiCA). Rankings, indices and price changes describe the market; they are not recommendations. Past performance does not predict future performance.
Market data comes from third-party sources credited on the methodology page and may be inaccurate or delayed. Check the information with the issuer or the platform before making any decision.
Platforms and commercial links
Where-to-buy pages list platforms where a token trades so you can compare them; being listed is not a recommendation. Before using a platform, check that it is authorised to serve residents of your country; in the European Union, look for an authorisation as a crypto-asset service provider under MiCA.
