Is a FIFA Crypto Coming? Blockchain World Cup Tickets Probed
Swiss gambling watchdog tests FIFA’s blockchain ticket plan, putting a spotlight on where digital collectibles end and gambling begins.
According to Swiss information, Switzerland’s gambling authority, Gespa, has initiated a preliminary investigation into FIFA’s blockchain-based “Right-to-Buy” ticket scheme for the 2026 World Cup, examining whether the product falls under Swiss gambling law.
The tokens, sold on FIFA’s Collect marketplace, give holders a guaranteed window to buy match tickets once sales open.
They can also be traded on a secondary market. Gespa said it is currently gathering information before deciding if further action is needed.
