FIFA goes all-in on blockchain
On June 9, 2026, FIFA named Kraken as its Official Crypto Exchange Supporter. The more technically interesting piece is the FIFA Blockchain, built on Avalanche. It powers digital collectibles and something called a Right-to-Tickets system, designed to kill scalping and reduce ticket fraud at the source.
As of mid-June 2026, that system has issued over 100,000 Right-to-Tickets. Fans claim a blockchain-verified right to purchase a ticket before it ever hits the open market, making it structurally harder for bots and resellers to swoop in first.
