“Can a licensed-IP fantasy sports platform become the dominant global marketplace for digital sports assets by combining NFT ownership with regulated fiat wallet infrastructure?”
Sorare launched as an NFT-based fantasy football platform where users buy, trade, and play with official digital player cards licensed from major football clubs. It expanded its embedded finance capabilities by partnering with Mangopay to introduce a cash wallet for users, moving beyond pure crypto/NFT mechanics toward a hybrid fiat-and-digital-asset model. The Mangopay integration signals a deliberate push to offer regulated payment and wallet infrastructure to a global user base.
Sorare discloses Mangopay as its banking provider, according to the Embedded Finance Index 2026.
Sorare does not disclose a bank charter of its own; its banking services are provided through Mangopay.
Sorare is founded in 2018 and headquartered in Paris, Ile-de-France, France.
