Football Dot Fun, a blockchain-based fantasy football and player-trading application, has recorded break-neck growth less than two weeks after its debut. The app lets users buy on-chain shares of professional footballers and build squads that rise or fall in value based on demand and real-world performance. On-chain data shared by market participants show the platform’s fully diluted market capitalisation jumping from about $25 million to roughly $125 million in the past day alone. Over the same 24-hour stretch, the number of unique depositors and fee revenue both doubled. Since launch 11 days ago, cumulative deposits have reached $9.63 million and trading volume $16.5 million, despite the user base remaining below 2,000 accounts. FDF operates on Coinbase’s Base layer-2 network, whose lower fees have helped several consumer-facing crypto projects gain traction. Heavy traffic briefly took the Football Dot Fun website offline on Sunday, echoing the strain seen during earlier booms at NFT marketplace OpenSea in 2021 and social-token platform Friendtech in 2023. Backers say the early momentum could pave the way for similar tokenised fantasy platforms across sports such as American football, basketball and cricket. Critics caution the token price has already climbed several hundred percent and note that most GameFi projects struggle to maintain user engagement once initial hype fades.
