BARCELONA, Spain – Barcelona generated 1.2 million euros ($1.3 million) with its inaugural sale of “fan tokens” on Monday.

The club sold all 600,000 of the cryptocurrency-based tokens in less than two hours at a price of 2 euros each ($2.20), online seller Socios.com said.

The virtual tokens earned buyers exclusive voting rights in club-specific polls and the chance of winning rewards that could include watching Barcelona games as VIP guests or meeting with team players.
