A Brief Overview of Ronaldo's Exploits In The Crypto Space
Cristiano Ronaldo is a 39-year-old Portuguese football player popularly recognized as one of the greatest footballers. The star football player has left a trail of victories and memorable moments in his wake during his 22-year-long career.
Beyond the football pitch, Cristiano Ronaldo is the most followed football player on X. It is therefore not surprising that his plans to launch an exclusive NFT collection on Binance have caused what appears to be a shockwave in the crypto community on X.
While the announcement by the football star might appear harmless, the circumstances that followed a previous promotion by CR7 were not favorable for the footballer, as it almost dented his integrity.
Ronaldo faced a $1 billion lawsuit last year for promoting Binance NFTs. The lawsuit linked CR7's promotional efforts to costly and unsafe financial decisions by NFT investors that saw them lose investment funds. Hence, CR7's decision to advertise yet another Binance NFT therefore comes as a shock to many.
