Messi Breaks All-Time World Cup Scoring Record, Fan Token Trading Spikes

Lionel Messi has made history by breaking the all-time World Cup scoring record after netting two goals against Austria on June 22. This achievement surpasses both Miroslav Klose's men's record of 16 and Brazil's Marta, who held the overall record at 17.

The match took place in Dallas Stadium during Argentina's Group J fixture, which they won 2-0. Messi had already scored five goals in the 2026 World Cup heading into this game, bringing his career total to 18.

This milestone has sparked renewed interest in the fan token $ARG built on the Chiliz blockchain, with trading activity spiking following Messi's record-breaking performance. As an ambassador for Socios.com since March 2022, Messi's deal was estimated at over $20 million.
