The matchup promises to be one of the most balanced in the recent history of South America's premier continental competition.

In addition to shaking up the sports scene, the decision should also heat up the crypto market, driven by Fan Tokens, the official digital assets of clubs that connect the world of sports to that of blockchain, allowing fans to participate more actively in the success of their teams both on and off the field.

The two clubs are separated by just a few points at the top of the Brasileirão, and with both tokens showing similar growth, it is possible to see that fans and traders perceive a balance between Flamengo and Palmeiras at this decisive moment.

For specialists, it is expected that the trading activity will continue to increase until the Libertadores final. “The result on the field may directly impact the market behavior in the days leading up to the final and the following weeks, lasting until the end of the Brasileirão. Decisive matches, especially when they are for the trophy, tend to generate significant trading peaks of these tokens.”

Fan token market data connects fan sentiment to on-field results

The connection between the football calendar and the increase in trading of Fan Tokens is evident in important matches, especially in the clashes between Flamengo and Palmeiras in recent years.

In the week leading up to the match between the two clubs for the Brasileirão, in May 2025, the traded volume of $MENGO increased an impressive 12,900%, jumping from an average daily of about R$ 500 thousand to more than R$ 65 million.

During the same period, the price of the $MENGO token rose by more than 150%, from US$ 0.11 to over US$ 0.28, reflecting high speculation and optimism before the match, which Flamengo won 2-0.

The Palmeiras Fan Token ($VERDAO) also showed strong movement: the traded volume increased 775% in the week leading up to the game, while the price rose by 8.5%.

In the end, although both fan bases bet on their teams, the volume and price data showed that most traders correctly predicted Flamengo's victory.

It is worth noting that market activity depends not only on passion but also on the moment of the teams. Between the end of July and the beginning of 2024, when the two clubs faced each other three times in two weeks (including two matches for the Copa do Brasil), the balance was greater.

During this period, the value of $MENGO rose 6.6%, while $VERDAO increased by 7.2%. In the end, each team won one match, and one ended in a draw, highlighting how the market tends to reflect pre-game sentiment and on-field performance.

Previous Libertadores Finals: Volume Explosion

The last time one of this year's finalists reached the Libertadores final was in 2022, when Flamengo faced Atlético Paranaense.

The trading data of the token $MENGO during that period again shows how a big decision can mobilize fans and investors.

In the month prior to the final, the average daily trading volume of $MENGO was around US$ 150 thousand. As the decision approached, that number exploded to US$ 12 million in a single day, averaging between US$ 1 million and US$ 2 million per day in the period leading up to the match. Flamengo ended up winning 1-0 and lifted the continental trophy.
