After Argentina, the tournament favorite, was defeated by Saudi Arabia in the FIFA World Cup 2022, the value of the country’s crypto fan token nosedived.
The fact that this is Argentina’s first defeat in the world’s greatest sport makes the setback much more heartbreaking.
The value of the Argentina Fan Token (ARG) decreased by more than 25 percent as a result of the loss’s emotional impact.

Since the conclusion of the World Cup showdown, ARG’s price has increased to approximately $5.36. In the previous 24 hours, the token has decreased by 17%.
However, it is important to note that ARG is still up 16% over the past month and has just set a new all-time high of nearly $9.20.
Wednesday’s CoinGecko data shows that the ARG fell overnight from approximately $7.55 to a low of $4.95.
The floor price of the winners’ non-fungible token (NFT) with a Saudi Arabian theme, “The Saudis,” increased by more than 50 percent.

The collection’s floor price on OpenSea has already fallen from its daily peak of roughly 0.31 ETH to 0.24 ETH, indicating that the slight increase was likely temporary.
