"Fans face big cryptocurrency losses after platform goes into liquidation"
Primary Source ↗Incident Details
“Fan engagement blockchain platform” IQONIQ went into liquidation late January 2022, taking down its token sale platform and crashing the value of the fan-owned coin by over 90%. The platform had major sponsorship deals with multiple Formula 1 teams, European soccer clubs, and the Spanish La Liga league, which it owes €820,000 ($914,500). The collapse of such a major and highly-visible platform led the Football Supporters’ Association to call for more regulations on cryptocurrency platforms.
