How much are top Euro 2020 players worth in bitcoin?

The Euro 2020 championship is underway (a little behind schedule, but let’s not talk about that). That means familiar scenes of mumbled national anthems, over-excited pundits and jubilant spectators (a few less than normal, but again, let’s not talk about that). 

The players from the 24 teams are worth an eye-watering €10.8 billion ($13 billion) between them, with the England team ranked as the most valuable at €1.4 billion ($1.6 billion) alone. 

With remittance and transfer providers starting to support international money transfers in cryptocurrency, the MoneyTransfers.com team wanted to know how much a top player would cost in the cryptocurrency Bitcoin. For example, to get your hands on one of the world’s most expensive players, France’s Kylian Mbappé, you’d need a virtual wallet of at least 4,898 Bitcoin (based on his current market value of €160 million.) 

Out of your price range? Surely you could stretch to 1,378 Bitcoin for Portuguese legend Cristiano Ronaldo, now the all-time record goal scorer in the tournament? Or perhaps a bargain 551 Bitcoin for Wales star Gareth Bale?

Below, we’ve compiled the price in Bitcoin of 10 fan favourites, using player market values from transfermarkt.co.uk and the Bitcoin price as of 17 June 2021 on paxful.com.
