KICKING OFF: Clutch Markets’ Pup Cup Is Turning The World Cup Into An Onchain Trading Card Competition And You Can Score A Pack Tonight!

Lace up your cleats and load up your wallets because Clutch Markets is transforming this year’s World Cup into an onchain trading card experience, and everyone can score a pack beginning tonight at 9 P.M. EST!

From the pitch to the pixel world of crypto, Clutch Markets’ Pup Cup competition has officially begun with its card mint, giving collectors everywhere the chance to prove they know ball and compete for millions of the project’s native $K9 token this summer!

 

Each Pup Cup pack comes with four cards, with every card representing one of 48 countries and 44 positions. In addition, 40 special boot cards have been scattered throughout packs, bringing the total supply to 2,152 Pup Cup NFTs, all available for 250,000 $K9 each.

"Each card is its own NFT. Each card is tied to a World Cup country, position, and kit type,” 0xSimpleFarmer explained. “These cards are meant to be collected, traded, staked, and used throughout the tournament. The World Cup becomes the game board and your Pup Cup cards become your position on the field.”

 

As the Gazette previously reported, as matches play out next month and fans get a clearer picture of which countries are contenders and which are pretenders, the value of certain country cards could rise and fall as participants position themselves for a shot at the Pup Cup prize pool.

 

“This is what makes the product different from a normal mint. The cards are collectibles, but they also become live tournament positions, SimpleFarmer wrote. “50% of all mint proceeds go into a pot for holders of the country that wins the World Cup. If you believe a country can win, the play is simple. Get exposure to that country.”
