Cristiano Ronaldo launches first NFT collection with Binance
New collection and mystery boxes available 18 November on Binance.com
PARIS, 15 November 2022 /CNW/ — Cristiano Ronaldo’s first NFT collection will be available Friday 18 November as part of an exclusive, multi-year partnership with Binance, the world’s leading blockchain ecosystem and cryptocurrency supplier of infrastructure. The launch is supported by a global marketing campaign featuring Ronaldo, which aims to introduce his fans to Web3 through the world of NFTs.
“We believe that the metaverse and the blockchain are the future of the internet,” said Binance Co-Founder and Chief Marketing Officer He Yi. “We are honored to partner with Cristiano to help more people understand blockchain and showcase how we are building Web3 infrastructure for the sports and entertainment industry.”
“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,” Ronaldo said. “With Binance, I was able to create something that not only captures the passion of the game, but rewards the fans for all the years of support.”
The first Cristiano Ronaldo NFT collection will drop 18 November (09:00 UTC) and features seven animated statues with four rarity levels: Super Super Rare (SSR), Super Rare (SR), Rare (R), and Normal (N). Each NFT statue depicts Ronaldo in an iconic moment from his life, from his career-defining bicycle kick to his childhood in Portugal.
