Volume Bubbles Chart (1h)

Each 1-hour candle's volume is signed by its direction (up candles count as net buying, down candles as net selling) and drawn as a bubble at the closing price, green for buying and red for selling. Bubble size and colour intensity show how strong that flow is compared with the last 300 candles: the strongest 30% get full bubbles with their USD value, the rest stay as small dots. Unusually large bubbles flag aggressive buying or selling worth a closer look, often near breakouts, reversals or key levels.

Seasonal Chart

Plots one line per calendar year showing the % change since the start of that year, with the current year highlighted against up to four previous years. Lining the years up on the same calendar shows whether the price tends to rise or fall in the same months, helping you spot recurring seasonal patterns. Treat it as context rather than a forecast: past seasonality does not guarantee future moves.

Chiliz Historical Data

About Chiliz (CHZ)

Chiliz (CHZ) is the native token of the Chiliz Chain, a blockchain built for sports and entertainment. Sports clubs issue fan tokens on it, and these have been sold through the Socios app for CHZ. The token was first issued in 2018 by The Chiliz Group, a company based in Malta. FMchart shows CHZ as a composite price, averaging several exchanges and converting the result to US dollars.

A private sale and a move off Ethereum

There was no public sale. The whitepaper says about $65 million was raised at $0.032 per CHZ in a private round that closed on June 8, 2018. CHZ started as an Ethereum token with a supply of 8,888,888,888. When the Chiliz Chain launched in May 2023, tokens were migrated to it, though part of the supply stayed on Ethereum. The chain is a fork of BNB Smart Chain and uses Proof-of-Staked-Authority. Under that design, a limited set of validators, elected through staking governance, take turns producing blocks.

Dragon8: inflation plus a fee burn

On May 6, 2024, the Dragon8 upgrade added inflation to CHZ after an on-chain vote with 85.13% in favor. Annual inflation started at 8.80% in year one and falls each year until it settles at a 1.88% floor after 14 years. New tokens go 65% to validators and their delegators and 25% to ecosystem and operational spending. The other 10% goes to a community vault, liquidity providers and restaking rewards. Most gas fees are burned, which offsets part of the new supply.

Pepper8 and the Paribu merge

A further hard fork, Pepper8, took effect on September 9, 2025, after 92.89% of votes backed it. It merged Paribu Net into the Chiliz Chain and converted PRB tokens into CHZ, a one-time addition to supply. The whitepaper says lower inflation in the following years offsets that addition, so the long-term supply path is unchanged.

Buybacks funded by fan tokens

Chiliz says it uses 10% of proceeds from fan token transactions and marketplace activity to buy CHZ on the open market and burn it. Its September 2026 report listed 13,459,678 CHZ burned that month and 62,518,269 CHZ burned in total under the program. Chiliz presents the program as part of its Chiliz 2030 strategy. That cumulative total is well under 1% of the roughly 10 billion CHZ in circulation cited in the whitepaper.

Regulators, the US and fan demand

Fan tokens have drawn regulatory attention. In December 2021, the UK's advertising watchdog banned Arsenal's fan token ads, ruling that they took advantage of consumers' inexperience with cryptoassets. Chiliz left the US market in 2022 and met the SEC's crypto task force in April 2025 about returning. At that time, Cointelegraph reported that the chain's total value locked had fallen 63.5% since December 2024. In July 2026, Socios.com announced US fan tokens with five university athletic programs, due to launch before the end of 2026. Demand for CHZ depends heavily on clubs and their fans. Inflation also adds new tokens every year.

Arsenal's $AFC token, for example, could only be bought with CHZ through the Socios app. Chiliz uses 10% of fan token proceeds to buy back and burn CHZ.

What was the Pepper8 upgrade?

Pepper8 was a Chiliz Chain hard fork that took effect on September 9, 2025, after 92.89% of votes supported it. It merged Paribu Net into the Chiliz Chain and turned PRB tokens into CHZ. The whitepaper says lower inflation in later years offsets that one-time addition.
