Still obsessing over minute K-line charts in 2025? I advise you to lift your head up. The North American World Cup in 2026 is just five months away, and those with sharp market instincts in the industry have already started to move quietly. Don’t be naive to think that the World Cup’s benefits only last for the month of the event—that’s the mindset of losing players.

Having been involved in crypto investments for 8 years, I can responsibly say: now is the most excellent window for layout in sports-related sectors. Wait another month, and the opportunity might no longer be yours.

Let me give new entrants a simple overview (veterans can skip to the core content): Every World Cup is a top global event, and historically, such super IPs have always driven the market for related crypto assets. This is not some mystical legend; it’s a market law that has been repeatedly verified. But most people have fallen into traps—either entering too early and being tortured by sideways movement until mental breakdown, or buying in at the start and getting cut at high prices.

Looking at the real data from the last two World Cups, the pattern is actually very clear. In 2018, during the Russia World Cup, the crypto scene was still in its early days, and sports concept coins were almost nonexistent, which led to a scarcity premium. Coins like WICC surged sixfold, becoming the “dark horse” of the World Cup in many people’s eyes. I had a friend who allocated a small amount three months in advance, and a week before the opening, he decisively sold all, turning his gains into a new car, which he still occasionally shows off.

By the 2022 Qatar World Cup, the market was much more mature. Major platforms had launched various club fan coins six months in advance, greatly extending the hype cycle. That round’s opportunity window was much longer than in 2018. As long as you timed it right, the profit potential was equally substantial.
