FC Barcelona’s latest attempt to boost its finances through a crypto partnership has flipped into a fast-moving controversy — sparking confusion across the football and blockchain communities. ⚽️🔗💥 #FCBarcelona #CryptoNewss #Web3
The club announced in mid-November that Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) — a Samoa-registered firm — would become Barça’s Official Cryptographic Protocol Partner. The deal, scheduled to run until 2028, was framed as a data privacy + security collaboration, not a token launch or fan-coin initiative.
But within days, things went sideways. 🚨
Barça Distances Itself From ZKP Token 🚫🪙
By November 26, after ZKP began aggressively promoting a new digital token, Barcelona issued a sharp late-night clarification:
❌ The club has no connection to ZKP’s token❌ Holds no responsibility for its creation❌ And confirmed the token was never part of the sponsorship agreement
The club added that no token activity was approved and promised further updates once it had “conclusive information.”

Fans + Analysts Demand Answers 👀
The sudden token promotion ignited backlash across social media and among Barça supporters, with many questioning:
Who actually controls ZKP?Why did Barcelona green-light the deal?Was proper due diligence done?
Crypto-football analyst Martin Calladine called the situation “deeply concerning,” warning that fans could be lured into speculative tokens that may ultimately drop to zero — a fate not uncommon in the altcoin world. 💀📉 #altcoins #RiskAlert
Former director Xavier Vilajoana has publicly urged the club to reveal how the partnership was vetted in the first place.
A Deal Meant to Stabilize Turns Into Turmoil
What was supposed to be a stabilization move for the club’s finances has instead become a PR headache — raising fears that Barça may have inadvertently stepped into yet another questionable crypto storm, just as the broader market eyes new cycles in assets like BTC, ETH, and BNB.

As scrutiny intensifies, the football world now waits for Barcelona’s next move — and whether the club can untangle itself from a sponsorship already under heavy fire. 🔥📉
