Cristiano Ronaldo launches NFT collection with Binance

Football star Cristiano Ronaldo has partnered with blockchain ecosystem Binance to launch his own NFT collection.

The collection drops on November 18th and features seven animated statues with four rarity levels: Super Super Rare, Super Rare, Rare, and Normal. Each rarity level come with its own set of exclusive perks, spanning personal messages from Ronaldo, exclusive merchandise and entry into giveaways.

“It was important to me that we created something memorable and unique for my fans as they are such a big part of my success,” said Ronaldo.

“With Binance, I was able to make something that not only captures the passion of the game but rewards fans for all the years of support.”

Binance Co-Founder and Chief Marketing Officer, He Yi, added: “We believe the metaverse and blockchain are the future of the internet.

“We are honoured to collaborate with Cristiano to help more people understand blockchain and showcase how we are building Web3 infrastructure for the sports and entertainment industry.”

Future sets in the Cristiano Ronaldo NFT collection are planned to launch in early 2023.
