Two former teammates are about to become opponents on the biggest stage in football, and the crypto market has already picked a side. Erling Haaland and Jude Bellingham, who built their friendship playing together at Borussia Dortmund between 2020 and 2022, square off when England meets Norway in a 2026 FIFA World Cup quarterfinal on July 11 in Miami.
The tokens tied to two strikers
On the Solana blockchain, a meme token called $HAALAND exists, with a reported market cap fluctuating between $8,000 and $43,000 during Haaland’s scoring runs.
The $JUDE token, tied to Bellingham’s profile, tells a more cautionary story. Despite Bellingham delivering two goals scored in under two minutes, the unofficial token collapsed approximately 98% from its peak.
Neither Haaland nor Bellingham has confirmed any endorsement or official connection to these tokens.
