In an exciting development that brings together sports and cryptocurrency enthusiasts, global football icon Cristiano Ronaldo has joined forces with Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, to release his exclusive collection of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) titled “ForeverCR7: The GOAT”. This collaboration is set to create a buzz among fans and crypto followers alike as Ronaldo ventures deeper into the world of NFTs.
Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) made the official announcement, revealing that the launch of Ronaldo’s NFT collection will take place on July 3. The renowned footballer, celebrated as one of the greatest of all time, is set to captivate his vast fanbase with this unique collection that pays tribute to his incredible achievement of scoring 838 career goals up to the present moment.
The “ForeverCR7: The GOAT” NFT collection is an extraordinary assortment of 29,327 NFTs, showcasing 20 distinct designs, thoughtfully categorized into four rarity levels: Normal (N), Rare (R), Super Rare (SR), and Super Super Rare (SSR). Each NFT in this collection is poised to hold great value for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
Of particular interest are the exclusive Super Super Rare (SSR) NFTs, which are limited to just seven in existence. These exceptional SSR NFTs come with exclusive benefits, including an exclusive opportunity to participate in a training session with the football legend himself, Cristiano Ronaldo, along with other exciting privileges.
To acquire one of the six SSR NFTs, a 48-hour auction will commence at 14:00 UTC on July 3, with a starting bid set at 15,000 USDT. As for the seventh and final SSR NFT, it will be reserved for a special giveaway event.
The SSR NFTs have already garnered significant attention due to the alluring rewards and utility they offer. Owners of these exclusive NFTs can enjoy perks like automatic entry into future giveaways, a printable signed Binance x CR7 poster, a personalized video from Ronaldo sharing his thoughts on the iconic goal captured in the NFT, an autographed Binance football shirt by the legendary player, tickets to an upcoming Binance Blockchain Week event, and the ultimate highlight—a once-in-a-lifetime in-person training session with Cristiano Ronaldo himself.
This exciting development comes at a time when another football superstar, Lionel Messi, has also ventured into the world of blockchain and NFTs. Messi’s venture capital firm, Play Time, has recently shown its confidence in the potential of Web3 gaming startup, Matchday, by investing in their $21 million seed fund.
The “ForeverCR7: The GOAT” NFT collection represents a unique opportunity for fans and crypto enthusiasts to celebrate the extraordinary career of Cristiano Ronaldo and own a piece of football history through the lens of blockchain technology. With the auction set to commence soon, the anticipation and excitement are at an all-time high as the worlds of sports and cryptocurrency unite in a historic collaboration.
