Ronaldo’s first NFT for binance is expected to go on sale later this year. NFTs are blockchain-based tokens that prove ownership over digital or physical assets:

“My relationship with the fans is very important to me, so the idea of bringing unprecedented experiences and access through this NFT platform is something that I wanted to be a part of.”

Ronaldo is the most followed person on Instagram with 459 million followers. He became quite popular playing professional football and is a five-time FIFA player of the year with 770 goals scored in his career. He is also a billionaire at just 37 years of age. The partnership analytics firm Zoomph shared that the Ronaldo Twitter and Instagram posts where we can read about the Binance announcement saw over 48 million impressions in one hour. The fan response to the news was quite positive but there were some naysayers that called NFT a scam or worthless.

Ronaldo’s Binance deal came a few weeks after the company announced it will sponsor the musician The Weeknd’s world tour which will be crypto powered alogn by an NFT collection as well as a $2 million donations to the XO Humanitarian Fund. All of the celebrity deals came as the Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao tweeted that his company passed on expensive sponsorship opportunities like “stadium naming rights” whcih is why they are now able to keep on hiring amid the crypto bear market.

It was not easy saying no to Super bowl ads, stadium naming rights, large sponsor deals a few months ago, but we did.
