Decentral Launches First Football Media Rights RWA Pool on Chiliz

Decentral has introduced the first football media-rights real-world asset (RWA) pool on the Chiliz Chain. This initiative tokenizes cash flows from broadcasting deals, adding a new dimension to Chiliz's ecosystem, traditionally driven by fan tokens and SportFi applications.

  • The new pool converts revenue from football media rights into on-chain instruments accessible via Chiliz Chain infrastructure.
  • It targets sports-related cash flows like broadcasting and sponsorship income, positioning them as yield-bearing RWAs within a compliant framework.
  • This aligns with Chiliz's strategy to expand into a "sports RWA" vertical, including tokenized revenue-share notes and royalty structures linked to sports IP.
  • Chiliz aims to provide clubs and rights holders with additional funding channels and expose crypto investors to football-linked income streams.

Chiliz's Role in Sports Web3

  • Chiliz operates an EVM-compatible layer-1 blockchain for sports organizations, supporting fan engagement products like Socios fan tokens and SportFi apps.
  • The network collaborates with over 70 major clubs and leagues, offering tokenized fan rewards, NFT drops, and other on-chain experiences.
  • Beyond fan tokens, Chiliz supports NFT marketplaces, Web3 loyalty programs, and now RWA tokenization for tickets and income-generating rights in sport.
  • This specialization attracts teams, sponsors, and rights holders seeking blockchain-based financing or engagement tools without building infrastructure from scratch.
