AC Milan and Chiliz PartnershipAC Milan will be joining other notable football clubs including FC Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, AS Roma, and Atletico Madrid to launch a fan-based token.With the coronavirus crisis having disrupted sporting events in a major way, digitization has been the only way to engage with fans. Clubs have significantly invested in digital infrastructures to reach out to their global fans.Turns out digital tokens in the sporting industry are gaining momentum, thus making Chiliz and socios.com an important element.Most of the Chiliz tokens have been listed on the largest crypto exchange by volume, Binance. As a result of the partnership, Chiliz has noted that the 10% $CHZ bonus for those that bought $LOCK-MD, will be air-dropped into participating accounts. Later on January 21, the $LOCK-MD tokens will be convertible to $ACM fan tokens.
