The biggest cryptocurrency exchange in the world by trade volume, Binance, will present Cristiano Ronaldo’s launch of his NFT line.
Binance formally announced their relationship with football legend Cristiano Ronaldo in June 2022. The inaugural Cristiano Ronaldo NFT collection will be released on November 18 according to the world’s largest exchange (9 a.m. UTC).
The Manchester United striker and Binance collaborated to develop a number of NFT collections that will debut only on Binance’s official NFT platform, giving football fans around the world a singular and ethereal experience. Worldwide registered Binance users will now be able to purchase the collections using Binance Pay.
Ronaldo’s First NFT is Out on Binance
Friday, November 18, Cristiano Ronaldo’s debut NFT collection will be accessible in keeping with the objective of the relationship established in June. A piece of excellent news for the NFT community and football fans everywhere is that the five-time Ballon d’Or winner’s NFT is ready to launch in the coming days thanks to the world’s top blockchain ecosystem.
An international marketing effort involving Ronaldo will complement the launch and aim to welcome his fans to the Web3 interface through the world of NFTs.
“We believe the metaverse and blockchain are the future of the internet,” said Binance Co-Founder and Chief Marketing Officer He Yi. “We are honored to collaborate 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,” 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”.
Seven animated statues with four rarity levels—Super Super Rare (SSR), Super Rare (SR), Rare (R), and Normal—will be included in the first Cristiano Ronaldo NFT collection (N). Every NFT statue depicts Ronaldo in a pivotal period of his life, from his formative bicycle kicks through his formative years in Portugal.
Ronaldo’s Manchester United to gift fans digital collectibles
The Manchester Club, which also announced that NFTs would be given to fans in the upcoming weeks, made the announcement about Binance while Ronaldo was having some issues there.
The Premier League powerhouses revealed in an official statement posted on their website that the first-ever official Manchester United digital collectible will be given to fans by a Tezos-based platform as the Club launches a new Web3 community intended to educate, reward, and bring together their worldwide fan base through virtual and physical experiences.
The Club’s official blockchain, Tezos, one of the most cutting-edge and sustainable blockchains, powers this intriguing endeavor. Easy-to-follow tutorials showcasing the Club’s Men’s and Women’s teams will be shared on Club channels prior to their release.
These tutorials are a part of a comprehensive collection of educational resources designed to help fans understand Web3 and how digital collectibles can benefit both domestic and foreign supporters. The newest version of the internet, known as Web3, is supported by blockchain technology. It opens up intriguing new possibilities for fan involvement with the Club by enabling artists, publishers, and users to take control of their assets throughout the web.
Phil Lynch, the CEO of Digital Products and Experiences at Manchester United, said:
“Much like the football traditions of old, such as collecting match programmes, club badges and sticker books, fans will soon have the additional option to collect this new type of digital memorabilia. The first digital collectible is being gifted to fans by a Tezos-powered platform, and with the support of Tezos Foundation we will join fans on their journey into this new world, with the club providing education and guidance along the way.”
“Having watched the Web3 space closely and consulted with fans for their views on how this unique virtual world should operate, we’ve worked with the Tezos ecosystem teams to apply these learnings and believe that the launch of Manchester United digital collectibles is different to others, providing the option of unique and enhanced engagement opportunities to our incredible fans.”
