The Cristiano Ronaldo NFTs
Today, the football legend announced a drop of his Non-Fungible Token (NFT) collection on Twitter. The CR7 NFT collection will be released on Nov. 18, Friday on the BINANCE NFT platform. Binance first announced the partnership with Cristiano Ronaldo in June this year.
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. I know the fans are going to enjoy the collection as much as I do.

The drop is planned as a surprise; hence many details aren’t released yet. However, the fans will get a sneak peek of the NFT collection anytime soon. Some fans are excited about the drop, but a Twitter user feels that it is a topping sign, one year into the bear market.
