The decision to launch NFT and cryptocurrency came after the sudden decline in the funds putting the club in financial distress. In the mobile world congress, FC Barcelona’s president mentioned how the club is facing financial issues as compared to other clubs. He said that other clubs are owned and supported by big corporations, unlike Barcelona.

Barcelona club is mostly owned by 160,000 members. Therefore, he said that launching the FT collectibles and cryptocurrency can help the financial position of the club among others. He believes that their innovative mindset helps them to earn money, unlike other companies.

Some recent reports also suggested that the club is planning to launch its own Metaverse as well. In a recent interview, Laporta mentioned that unlike other teams and clubs Barcelona focuses on earning money through sports. Cryptocurrency, NFT, and Metaverse of the club will focus on the players and sports.

However, no fixed pathway has yet been discussed with the media or fans across the globe. Many are pondering over the fact of whether the cryptocurrency that is launched will be meant for payments or as a partner token. If for payment process, it will be used for purchasing tickets and other merchandise of the club. The club has mentioned that whenever they plan a complete strategy to launch the cryptocurrency, they will announce the plans with the fans globally.
