Manchester City will Celebrate Memorable Events With NFT Collectibles

NFT and football enthusiasts will find not only 3D player cards but also one-of-a-kind card sets commemorating key events in the club's history. The Quidd season will be capped off with an exceedingly rare collection of Signature cards.

Quidd is a division of the Animoca Corporation. It's one of the top NFT marketplaces on the Wax Blockchain, and it's already partnered with big companies like Disney and HBO. The collection will be released tomorrow at noon ET and will include the club's first-ever set of fully interactive, 3D digital collectible sports cards.

Throughout the season, four NFT drops are included in the collection.

Fan Tokens  are Becoming Popular

Many of Europe's top clubs have jumped into the crypto and NFT industry. Last year, FC Porto teamed with Binance to establish their fan token. Barcelona has disclosed its plans to build its cryptocurrency, with the prospect of a Metaverse and NFT project thrown in for good measure.

According to Cryptoslate data, fan tokens are up 53.11 percent this week alone. The Manchester City Fan token has increased by 36.37 percent in the last seven days. It's unclear whether this has anything to do with NFT collection distribution.

"The opportunity to work with City pushed us to build something completely different right away," said Sam Barberie, Quiddity's VP of Content.

The caliber and history of the club drove the desire to create something fans, and collectors have never seen before, something that The Quidd marketplace already has over 325 distinct brands of collectibles and eight million NFT collectors globally.

This will be the first time a Premier Football League club has appeared on Quidd.
