February 15th, 2022 - The football club from Rijeka launched a crypto token and raised close to half a million kuna in six days of presale
Orijent recently launched a fan token ($ORI) and offered it for purchase in a week-long presale, reports Novi list.
The club that competes in the Second HNL joins Dinamo and HNS as the pioneers of cryptocurrency in Croatian football.
A fan token is a form of cryptocurrency used to reward fans by giving them benefits like voting on club decisions, interacting with the club and players, and a chance to win exclusive rewards.
The club published the following statement on their site:
‘We are proud to inform you that the presale of the $ORI Token has been successfully completed seven days after its announcement!
Namely, on the sixth day of the presale, the SoftCap of 100 BNB was reached - a predefined amount that guarantees the safe entry of the Orijent token on the cryptocurrency market.
Not only that, but here’s the total sold in 7 days of the presale:
172.82 BNB (which equals HRK 487.382,56 at the time of writing)
648.075 $ORI Tokens found their owners
We’re the only football club in Croatia alongside the Croatian Football Federation (HNS) and Dinamo to have successfully launched their token in the world of cryptocurrency.
The successful completion of this project is yet another proof that the ‘red and black’ club from Krimeja has a community of loyal fans and supporters, true sponsors and partners, who got [the club] to the top - in terms of football, organisation, infrastructure, and now in the segment of digitalization as well.
It takes 48 hours from the end of the presale for the cryptocurrency to become available on the stock exchange, i.e. for its trading to begin.
What we already know is that Orijent 1919 will offer its fans numerous interactions, prize contests, voting options, opportunities to win tokens, and so many other future things which we already look forward to.
As we’ve promised, together we enter the world of cryptocurrency, and together we create the future of Orijent.
We’re also looking forward to the Orijent mobile app which will fully come to life in the coming days, and keep the club close to loyal fans and all other users.
By downloading the application, the user enters a carefully designed ‘red and white’ world in which, apart from season passes and other tickets, they’ll be able to buy all products from the fan shop, enjoy special benefits such as discounts from our partner companies, track changes in the second league in real time, and much more.
The FAN Token will be available for purchase in the app from April 1st, 2022.
Users will be able to use the purchased tokens within the app, spend them on various things, but also win some ORI through individual prize contests.
We again wish to say a huge thank you to everyone who recognised this project of Orijent and together with us made another big step forward’, reads the announcement.
