FIFA SHOWS INTEREST IN DEVELOPING A FIFA TOKEN, US MARKET IN CONSIDERATION

Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) President Gianni Infantino has suggested the organization may develop its own cryptocurrency token.

Infantino made the remarks while attending President Trump’s White House Crypto Summit on March 7. Standing alongside Trump, Infantino expressed FIFA’s interest in creating a digital token to interact with its global fanbase.

“FIFA is very, very interested to develop a FIFA coin, to do it from here, from America, and to conquer the 5 billion soccer fans in the world,” Infantino stated. “If there is anyone here who is interested to team up with FIFA, here we are, together with the United States of America, and we will conquer the world of soccer with the FIFA coin.”

The announcement, though lacking specific details or timelines, hints at FIFA’s exploration of blockchain technology as a potential avenue for fan engagement and revenue generation. Trump responded positively to Gianni stating: “That coin may be worth more than FIFA in the end. It could be quite a coin, actually.”

FIFA token surges 357,000%

Following the summit, market confusion led to a surge in an unaffiliated cryptocurrency named “FIFA. This coin saw a 357,000% daily price increase, reaching a market capitalization of approximately $8.2 million. However, this token has no connection to FIFA.

The recent summit was one of the primary steps for a major cryptocurrency regulation change under the Trump administration.

Key initiatives announced during the event included the establishment of a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. This approach would create a government cryptocurrency position without requiring taxpayer funding.

While Infantino’s announcement provided few details, it shows FIFA’s recognition of cryptocurrency’s potential impact on the future of sports business and fan engagement. The announcement comes particularly as the organization prepares for the 2026 World Cup, which the United States, Canada, and Mexico will jointly host.

RIPPLE CEO SEES ‘INCREDIBLE’ CRYPTO SUPPORT FROM TRUMP ADMINISTRATION

Ripple’s CEO praised the Trump administration’s embrace of crypto, highlighting support for regulatory clarity, crypto reserves, and digital asset innovation backed by U.S. Treasuries.

Ripple’s CEO Applauds Trump Administration’s Embrace of Crypto

Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple, reflected on a significant week for the cryptocurrency industry, highlighting key events such as the first-ever White House Crypto Summit and a U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) CEO Roundtable. He noted the rapid developments in the space, including policy discussions and regulatory shifts.

“There’s been a lot of talk about what this White House has and will prioritize with their crypto agenda – most importantly, regulatory clarity through Congressional action, as well as a BTC reserve & crypto stockpile, support for stablecoin innovation backed by U.S. Treasuries, and more,” Garlinghouse stated on social media platform X on March 7. He also expressed optimism, emphasizing:

I was extremely pleased to see the incredible support from this administration.

He also acknowledged several key figures for their roles in shaping the week’s discussions. Garlinghouse thanked President Donald Trump for welcoming crypto industry leaders to the White House, contrasting it with what he described as the “hostility of the Biden administration.”

Garlinghouse also expressed gratitude to White House AI and Crypto Czar David Sacks and Bo Hines, Executive Director of the President’s Council of Advisers on Digital Assets at the White House, for organizing the crypto summit, and to CFTC Commissioner Caroline Pham for hosting discussions at the agency. These engagements, he suggested, marked a turning point in the relationship between policymakers and the crypto industry.

The Ripple executive urged the crypto community to focus on broader industry goals rather than engaging in internal conflicts between different cryptocurrencies. He reaffirmed his commitment to advocating for a fair regulatory framework, stating:

We will – as we’ve always done — continue to champion the need for a level playing field (and it was great to hear others in the room echo this as well!) and for the industry to come together to move much needed legislation forward in the U.S.
