Talking about the fan coin track, it might be one of the most worth-watching directions among altcoins this year.

The 2026 US-Canada-Mexico World Cup is set to kick off on June 11, and this is the first time in World Cup history that three countries are jointly hosting, making the hype unprecedented. Speaking of fan coins, there was a surge during the 2023 European Championship, but then it went into a long washout phase, which has lasted nearly two years now. Because of the prolonged washout cycle, most fan coins currently have relatively low market caps. Interestingly, from the monthly chart, the recent performance of coins like CHZ, SANTOS, LAZIO, and PORTO has been noticeably different— they haven't been falling like other altcoins in the market but instead have been consolidating sideways, indicating that funds are quietly accumulating. As the leader in the fan coin track, CHZ has already broken out of its trend, and following the trend with other coins is just a matter of time.

History is instructive. During the 2022 World Cup, fan coins saw significant gains, and this year's World Cup rise is highly probable. From the market perspective, many fan coins already have funds entering early. The monthly chart still shows these coins in the bottom zone, which provides us with a good opportunity to position.

Previously, I mentioned other altcoins in the plaza, which follow a short-term strategy of taking profits at around 20%. But the fan coin track is different; it can be developed into a mid-term holding strategy with a high probability of doubling.

A small reminder: fan coins have relatively low liquidity and market caps, so they are not suitable for large all-in investments. When liquidity picks up later, it might be the window for some big players to unload. Therefore, managing the amount of capital is still very important.
