    Chiliz, the global blockchain provider for the sports industry, has seen its native chiliz (CHZ) token increase following the release of its end-to-end memorabilia authentication service.

    GameUsed.com will verify genuine items, such as game-worn shirts, match tickets and trading cards, so that sports organisations can know such items are authentic.

    As of 09:36am GMT on 15 December, CHZ was trading at $0.1447, up by 3.51% compared with the previous day, according to CoinMarketCap.  

    Alexandre Dreyfus, CEO of Chiliz and the engagement and reward app Socios.com, announced the move on Twitter.

    According to the article, all items will be authenticated by embedded near field communication (NFC) chips, which will allow fans and collectors to quickly verify the authenticity of collectibles using a smartphone.

    The use of NFTs

    Once an item has had an NFC chip embedded, GameUsed.com will issue a corresponding non-fungible token (NFT) minted on the Chiliz blockchain.

    The NFTs will have “customisable digital content related to the item”, such as sports highlights or creative content, and include a direct link to the corresponding proof-of-reserve for each item.

    Dreyfus said: “We are extremely excited about the launch of GameUsed.com by Chiliz.

    “At Chiliz we are building one of the leading ecosystems for sports and entertainment, bringing together fans, sport teams, and sports commerce and service companies. Central to our strategy is to continue to launch services and technology that onboard traditional sports experiences and fan activities into the Web 3.0 environment.

    “We believe that blockchain technology can bring new ways for sports teams and companies to deliver ownership and engagement to fans, and by bringing blockchain authentication and distribution to sports memorabilia through GameUsed.com, we are taking another important step forward in our offering.”

    Company enjoyed substantial growth in 2022

    In 2022, Chiliz increased the number of staff that worked for the company by more than 70% and it now has more than 300 employees and nine offices worldwide.

    The company aims to continue to grow in 2023 and is working on the launch of the Chiliz Chain 2.0 (CC2) mainnet, which it believes will be the first blockchain that specialises in the sports and entertainment industry.

    The difference between trading assets and CFDs
    The main difference between CFD trading and trading assets, such as commodities and stocks, is that you don’t own the underlying asset when you trade on a CFD.
    You can still benefit if the market moves in your favour, or make a loss if it moves against you. However, with traditional trading you enter a contract to exchange the legal ownership of the individual shares or the commodities for money, and you own this until you sell it again.
    CFDs are leveraged products, which means that you only need to deposit a percentage of the full value of the CFD trade in order to open a position. But with traditional trading, you buy the assets for the full amount. In the UK, there is no stamp duty on CFD trading, but there is when you buy stocks, for example.
    CFDs attract overnight costs to hold the trades (unless you use 1-1 leverage), which makes them more suited to short-term trading opportunities. Stocks and commodities are more normally bought and held for longer. You might also pay a broker commission or fees when buying and selling assets direct and you’d need somewhere to store them safely.
