- Ferrari unveils exclusive crypto token for elite clients and auctions.
- Token Ferrari 499P offers rare opportunities for ultra-wealthy enthusiasts.
- Ferrari’s move to crypto strengthens bond with luxury car collectors.
Ferrari is stepping into the world of cryptocurrency with a unique offering for its most exclusive customers. The luxury automaker has announced the launch of the “Token Ferrari 499P” in collaboration with fintech firm Conio. This digital token will be available only to members of Ferrari’s Hyperclub, a select network of 100 clients who share a deep passion for endurance racing. Token holders will gain access to rare opportunities, including the chance to participate in exclusive auctions for high-end items, starting with the Ferrari 499P, a Le Mans-winning model. The debut of the token will coincide with the 2027 World Endurance Championship season.
Enrico Galliera, Ferrari’s chief marketing and commercial officer, emphasized that this initiative is designed to foster a stronger sense of community among the brand’s most loyal customers. The token allows its holders not only to participate in auctions but also to trade them among themselves. This exclusive access is expected to appeal to the ultra-wealthy, enhancing the brand’s appeal to a growing number of crypto investors.

Ferrari’s Continued Crypto Integration
This move is part of Ferrari’s broader strategy to integrate cryptocurrency into its operations. In 2023, the brand began accepting Bitcoin, Ether, and USDC for car purchases in the United States, later extending this service to Europe. However, rather than having dealers manage cryptocurrencies directly, Ferrari’s system automatically converts digital assets into fiat currencies, making transactions smoother for both the buyers and dealers.
The collaboration with Conio takes Ferrari’s crypto efforts a step further, marking a significant development in luxury goods tokenization. Conio, which is in the process of securing a license under the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation, views this project as a key milestone in integrating crypto with high-end luxury markets. Davide Rallo, Conio’s chief fintech strategist, sees massive potential for growth in this space, signaling an exciting future for tokenized luxury goods.
This initiative comes at a time when the number of crypto millionaires has surged by 40%, highlighting the increasing demand for luxury experiences tied to digital currencies. With a growing base of high-net-worth crypto holders, Ferrari’s new token is likely to resonate with this affluent demographic, blending exclusivity, innovation, and luxury.
