If you're both a sports fan and a crypto enthusiast, then 'fan tokens' could be your cup of tea.
In short, fan tokens are cryptocurrencies that provide holders with exclusive membership benefits for sports leagues, teams, and sometimes even individual players.
They are provided by sports organizations and can be purchased on a variety of crypto exchange platforms.
One of the main features of fan tokens is that they allow holders to cast votes on topics related to their favorite sports team.
These crypto assets are still relatively new but are already establishing themselves as the future of the sports economy.
So, which are the top 10 fan tokens to invest in 2022?
Let's check out the details.
Before we get into the details, let's go over a quick outline of the top 10 fan tokens to invest in 2022.
Now that you're familiar with the tokens we'll talk about, let's move on to the detailed review of each one.
Battle Infinity is much more than just a typical fan token – it's a fan token on steroids.
In a nutshell, Battle Infinity is a crypto gaming ecosystem that includes Metaverse, NFT, and DeFi elements.
And, it has one of the best fantasy sports games in the industry.
The platform's native governance token is IBAT and it's hosted on the BSC (Binance Smart Chain).
All in-game assets are valued through IBAT and players can use the currency for transactions, staking, and other in-game activities.
Battle Infinity's biggest home market competitors in India are Dream 11 and Mobile Premier League.
However, the game is looking to expand much further than India – it's looking to spread influence throughout the entire globe, just like Polygon Matic, its compatriot.
Because of the similar P2E elements, fans are referring to Battle Infinity as the next Decentraland, Sandbox, and Axie Infinity.
There are six main products in the ecosystem, including Battle Market, Battle Swap, Battle Stake, battle Store, and Battle Arena (the in-game Metaverse).
The sixth and main product is the IBAT Premier League – the first fantasy sports game in the world that incorporates NFT technology.
Within the game, players can build strategic teams in different sports (cricket, football, basketball, etc.) and gain points based on the real-life performance of the athletes.
They also compete with one another for a chance to win exclusive rewards.
Additionally, Battle Infinity doesn't come with any "rug-pull" danger seeing that the project was KYC'd by CoinSniper and smart contract audited by SolidProof.
Notably, the presale for IBAT tokens ended recently, but not in a standard fashion – it ended 66 days before the initial target date because $5 million in BNB tokens were sold much sooner than expected.
Around one week ago, Battle Infinity was officially listed on PancakeSwap, which prompted a huge price increase. There are more CEX listings coming soon.
Because Battle Infinity's combines Metaverse and NFT technology, and fact that it offers the most state-of-the-art sports fantasy game currently on the market, it's a much more reliable choice compared to other fan tokens.
Alpine F1 (ALPINE) token is a BEP-20 coin developed by the infamous Formula One racing team, BWT Alpine F1.
The token was founded in February 2022 and launched on Binance Launchpad, and it provides holders with voting power.

The market cap for ALPINE is around $36 million and the price of the token is $4.30.

At the time of writing, the market cap stands at $28 million with a price of $9.8 per PSG token.
The next on our list of the top 10 fan tokens to invest in is SS Lazio's crypto asset.
