Cristiano Ronaldo’s NFT Journey with Binance

Cristiano Ronaldo’s new NFT collection will highlight key moments from his illustrious football journey. The collection’s exact number of NFTs remains undisclosed until the launch. While most NFTs will have fixed prices, the final Super Rare NFT will have different pricing, per Binance’s blog post. Ronaldo commented,

“My football journey has seen me travel around the world, and I’ve been honored to play for some of the most prestigious clubs out there. Now it’s your turn to join me on that journey too.”

The collection not only celebrates his career but also aims to engage his fans in a unique way. Previous NFT events involving Ronaldo included perks beyond the digital realm. Holders were invited to play football with Ronaldo as part of the Binance promotion. This new collection might also include similar exciting benefits for NFT holders.

This latest collection follows a series of successful NFT collaborations between Ronaldo and Binance. However, previous events have sparked controversy. In November 2023, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Ronaldo in a U.S. district court in Florida, alleging his involvement in the “offer and sale of unregistered securities” with Binance.

The lawsuit claimed Cristiano Ronaldo “promoted, assisted in, and/or actively participated in the offer and sale of unregistered securities in coordination with Binance.” This stemmed from Binance’s broader legal troubles, including founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao’s conviction in the U.S. for enabling fraud. Zhao received a four-month detention sentence in April 2024 for his role in an alleged money laundering scheme.

Despite these challenges, Ronaldo’s partnership with Binance remains strong. Fans and collectors expect the new collection to draw significant attention. It represents another chapter in Ronaldo’s digital ventures, blending sports and technology.

Above all, Binance remains optimistic about the new collection, seeing it as an opportunity to engage with Ronaldo’s global fanbase and the broader NFT community. As the launch date approaches, fans and collectors eagerly await the details of the new NFTs and the unique experiences they may offer.
