Stars Group Issues Statement for Proposed Initial Coin Offering
In an over $40 billion global industry, football (soccer in some areas) serves as the world’s largest and most lucrative sport. The continuously increasing frequency of cross-currency transactions and lack of transparency in financial fair play makes the football industry highly susceptive to the revolutionary blockchain technology. The solution is being pursued by Stars Group, an ownership conglomerate of professional football clubs and subsidiary of Only4Stars. Stars Group will introduce the STARS token, a sports franchise-backed token on the Ethereum blockchain, as a means to providing a fundamental currency that supports the transactions of merchandise sales, ticket sales, live-stream broadcasting and inner-group player transfers.
Stars Group aims to utilize STARS token to disrupt the sports industry. The fluidity of a single currency, full transparency of the ledger and the decentralized nature of a token based on the Ethereum blockchain provides the company’s global stakeholders with the opportunity to participate in the exponential growth of the sports industry.
Stars Group envisions a day in which €198 million transfer fees, €1.8 billion broadcasting rights, $100 million sponsorship €198 million transfer fees, €1.8 billion broadcasting rights, £4 billion club valuations will all be transaction through digital currencies.
