- SANTOS Crypto secured a Binance Futures listing.
- The token’s price climbed to a 7-month high post-announcement, but risks remain.
Investor enthusiasm surged for Santos FC Fan Token [SANTOS] on the 28th of October, as it saw intraday gains that exceeded 100% after a major listing announcement.
Binance expanded its futures trading options by launching the SANTOSUSDT Perpetual Contract on Binance Futures, offering up to 75x leverage. It went live, providing token holders a new avenue for trading.
For those unfamiliar, the Santos Token is a fan token dedicated to the Brazilian football club Santos FC.
It was created in collaboration with Binance’s Fan Token platform.
SANTOS’ price performance
The listing propelled SANTOS to a high of $8.3, its highest price since late March. At the time of writing, the price settled at $5.1.
According to CoinMarketCap, this marked a daily gain of over 50% for the coin.
Furthermore, in the past 24 hours, trading volume surged by 5000%, reflecting a substantial influx of activity and investor interest.
This uptick contributed to the token’s market cap climbing to $29.05 million, an approximate 60% increase.
Is a pullback near?
To analyze the SANTOS crypto’s prospects, AMBCrypto delved deeper into its daily chart. The analysis revealed that the Relative Strength Index (RSI) reached 77.72, placing it firmly in overbought territory.
This elevated RSI level typically signals that the asset could face potential corrective pressure in the short term.

In addition, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) confirmed an increase in profit-taking activity among market participants.
At press time, the indicator rested below the zero line at -0.31, signaling that selling pressure was outweighing buying interest.
Meanwhile, $5.5 remained a significant barrier that could likely trigger a potential price rejection. Earlier in the month, the token faced a similar rejection at this level, leading to declines that compromised the $3.6 support.
Moreover, the latter level is crucial for maintaining the token’s bullish momentum. If it fails, SANTOS may face further downside pressure, with the price potentially moving toward the $2.5 mark.
Fan crypto’s rise with SANTOS
While the announcement made SANTOS the top gainer among fan cryptos over the past 24 hours, the gains weren’t isolated.

Other fan tokens, including Alpine F1 Team Fan Token [ALPINE], Spain National Fan Token [SNFT], S.S. Lazio Fan Token [LAZIO], and FC Porto Fan Token [PORTO], also saw impressive double-digit increases.
Worth noting that, at press time, SANTOS ranked as the second-largest fan token by market capitalization, following closely behind the Paris Saint-Germain Fan Token [PSG].
As fan tokens continue to capture the attention of crypto enthusiasts, this sector appears to be emerging as a niche within the broader crypto market.
Ergo, the question: Could fan tokens become the next “IT” thing, joining the ranks of memecoins and AI tokens? Well, only time will tell.
Their long-term relevance will depend on whether they can consistently engage and add value to their communities sustainably.
