That has been behind the success of many fan tokens in the past months.

This time around, Socios.com has taken this one step further with a new partnership. The company recently announced that it was partnering with football star Lionel Messi. This new partnership has opened up new horizons for crypto and sports fans and what they can do with these tokens.
