The inaugural CR7 nonfungible token (NFT) collection consists of seven animated statues designed with four rarity levels. Every statue in this collection represents iconic moments in Ronaldo’s life and career. Binance crypto exchange has announced the introduction of its first Cristiano Ronaldo NFT collection. The CR7 NFT collection will become available on November 18, 2022.
Earlier in June, Binance announced a multi-year partnership with the football legend. This partnership hoped to leverage Ronaldo’s popularity to introduce Web3 to a new audience base.
Based on a statement by He Yi, Binance co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer, the crypto exchange is convinced that the metaverse and blockchain represent the future of the internet. Yi noted the company’s delight in the partnership with Cristiano to assist more people to understand what blockchain technology is all about.
Yi thinks that the partnership will also enable Binance to display how it is developing Web3 infrastructure for the sports and entertainment sector.
On his part, Ronaldo noted that it was crucial for him to do something for the fans given the role of his fans in his success. He stated:
“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.”
