Per a blog post from Binance, Cristiano Ronaldo commented:

“My football journey has seen me travel around the world, and I’ve been honored to play for some of the most prestigious clubs out there. Now it’s your turn to join me on that journey too.”

The number of NFTs contained in the new collection won’t be announced until the series launches and there’s so far been no mention of price. However the post did state that the price will be the same for every “Normal NFT” while pricing for the “the final Super Rare NFT” in the collection the collection will differ.

Previous NFT events featuring Cristiano Ronaldo have come with perks outside of the digital realm including a premium experience whereholders were invited to play football with the legend himselfas part of the Binance promotion.

As Cointelegraph reported back in November of 2023, the football superstar wassued in a class action lawsuitin a United States district court in Florida over his previous participation in NFT collection sales with Binance.

The plaintiffs in the suit claimed Ronaldo “promoted, assisted in, and/or actively participated in the offer and sale of unregistered securities in coordination with Binance,” and that he should have known that Binance was involved in such activities.

The suit against Cristiano Renaldo stemmed fromBinance’s previous legal issuesculminating in founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao being found guilty in the U.S. of enabling fraud. He wassentenced in April of 2024 to serve four months in detention for his part in an alleged money laundering scheme.

The Scion
A young figure caught in a moment of distraction, aware only ephemerally of his unconscious being, as it engages in psychological and psychedelic layer spaces. His right arm casually cradles a moray eel; the figure is comfortable but not truly aware of the potentials for danger in such negligence. His shirt reads “Bello” in Pokemon style font, harkening back to a childhood straddling the millennial threshold. To his right side, out of the unconscious deep, shrouded alien heads propagate as a fractal totem, each new iteration a more sophisticated rendering of emotional masking over the cold mystery of the greys. As the scion of the Budgie-Sattva, the young man, in his distraction, is also simultaneously aware of higher levels of self discovery. To his left a psychological topology sets beneath the oracle side of an 8 ball ,hovering; its message a purest concept of acceptance. The “Scion” lettering is in 80’s HeMan style bold declaration. The lower right side of the painting is like a hybrid of melon, feathers, and seeds. The crystals in the background bring light; conducted, refracted, reflected, and dispersed, to balance the dark shadow of the figure’s physical body. The aura of the scion succeeds in layers to point, with a finger, and the crown chakra, toward a center of a mandala existing as nigh pure application of strokes, in essence painterly abstraction, but also revealing hints of the Aura of migraine, and the bi-hemispherical nature of the brain–noting concerns of the possibility of inherited mental disease. Yet the flourish of chakra as it sets against that center is robust, active, coherent, and reveling against all fear. Fundamentally, the piece speaks to the activation of one’s potential to begin to “Know Thyself”, and find greater awareness out of the enigmas of the mind–as an inculcated seed given to the rich soil of one’s own birthright.
