In terms of football clubs, the members have a higher ranking among members and have a say regarding certain decisions at the club.
Dreyfus talked about the differences between digits assets and fan tokens in his statement. He mentioned that the holders of fan tokens could not sell or exchange them, whereas holders of digital assets can do that. The CEO also said that coin aggregator websites such as CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko have, over the few months, reflected a wrong price of the social and fan token.
