Benfica secured a 2-0 victory over Heart of Midlothian in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League third qualifying round on August 6, extending their remarkable streak of 28 consecutive unbeaten home Europa League matches. The Portuguese club launched the $BENFICA fan token on the Socios.com platform built on the Chiliz blockchain in July 2023, becoming the first Portuguese club to adopt this type of digital asset. The token, which launched with a fixed floor price of 1 euro, now trades around 0.10 dollar with a 24-hour trading volume of approximately 32,000 dollars. Heart of Midlothian has no fan token and no significant crypto partnerships, highlighting the widening gap between clubs embracing blockchain and those sitting on the sidelines. The second leg is scheduled for August 13 at Tynecastle Park in Edinburgh.
