MANTRA and WIN Investments have announced a strategic partnership aimed at tokenizing real-world sports assets, specifically focusing on football player transfers. This collaboration seeks to bring a significant portion of the $66 billion global football transfer market on-chain, making it accessible to fans and investors through regulated digital assets.
⚽ Transforming Football Transfers into Digital Assets
WIN Investments leverages FIFA's Solidarity Mechanism, which allocates a percentage of future transfer fees to youth clubs involved in player development. By tokenizing these future revenues, WIN offers investors the opportunity to participate in the financial aspects of player transfers. Currently, WIN manages $7.4 million in assets from 130 player transfers across 16 clubs, including notable players like Alexis Mac Allister and Emiliano Martínez. The company anticipates surpassing $20 million in tokenized assets by the end of 2025.
🔗 MANTRA's Role in On-Chain Infrastructure
MANTRA, a Layer 1 blockchain platform regulated by Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), will provide the necessary infrastructure to bring WIN's offerings on-chain. Together, they plan to develop and launch fan and investor-facing products within the MANTRA ecosystem, aiming to make investments in sports more accessible and transparent.
🌍 A Vision for Global Sports Investment
This partnership aligns with MANTRA's broader vision of bringing the world's financial ecosystem on-chain. By combining the passion of sports with regulated, tokenized assets, they aim to create new opportunities for fans and investors, particularly in regions like Latin America.
