Building Japan’s largest
Web3 Sports Ecosystem.

SBI Chiliz was born from a shared vision to redefine fan engagement in Japan by merging Chiliz’s global dominance in blockchain-powered sports innovation with SBI’s expertise in digital finance.

For years, Chiliz has disrupted the sports industry with Fan Tokens, tradable digital assets that empower millions of fans worldwide with governance rights, exclusive access, and token-gated experiences.

This decentralized model has transformed how elite teams and organizations across Europe, South America, and beyond monetize fandom on-chain, creating new digital economies driven by fan participation.

Now, in partnership with SBI, a leader in Japan’s financial and Web3 landscape, we’re bringing this evolution to Japan. SBI’s market leadership will accelerate the mainstream adoption of Fan Tokens, enabling clubs  and brands to unlock the full potential of tokenized engagement and decentralized incentives.

SBI Chiliz will set a new benchmark for the future of sports fandom, bridging sports, blockchain, and digital finance to empower fans, unlock new revenue streams and pioneer a Web3-powered sports economy in Japan
