The first CR7 NFTs were the most successful athlete collection of all time.
Binance, one of the leading cryptocurrency exchanges, is set to release Cristiano Ronaldo’s highly anticipated second NFT (non-fungible token) collection, ForeverCR7: The GOAT, on July 3.
This collaboration between Ronaldo, the renowned football player, and Binance aims to celebrate his status as the “Greatest Of All Time” (GOAT) in the sport.
The ForeverCR7: The GOAT NFT collection pays homage to Ronaldo’s remarkable achievement as the highest goal scorer in history, currently boasting an impressive tally of 838 career goals.
This exclusive collection comprises over 29,000 NFTs, allowing fans to own digital representations of significant goal numbers and unforgettable moments from Ronaldo’s illustrious career. Moreover, those who participate in the collection will also gain access to exclusive rewards and perks.
Among the notable goals immortalized in the NFT collection are #806, which solidified Ronaldo’s position as the all-time top goal scorer, and #649, famously known as his self-proclaimed best goal scored via a bicycle kick. These moments, along with numerous others, will be forever enshrined in digital collectable form.
“As the first drop was the most successful athlete NFT collection of all time, we wanted to keep building and creating more value for our community with this second collection,” said Binance Co-Founder and Chief Marketing Officer Yi He.
“This CR7 NFT collection, made by Binance, is a remarkable piece of artwork that not only celebrates the ‘Greatest of All Time’ but also showcases a real-world use case of how Web 3.0 is revolutionizing the sports and entertainment industries.”
The highly anticipated ForeverCR7: The GOAT NFT collection will be available for purchase on July 3 at 2 p.m. UTC. The collection features artwork representing Ronaldo’s 20 most memorable goals, categorized into four rarity levels: Super Super Rare (SSR), Super Rare (SR), Rare (R), and Normal (N).
Of the seven highest-value GOAT NFTs (SSRs), six will be auctioned on the Binance NFT marketplace, while one will be prized at a later date. The auction will span 48 hours, allowing the highest bidder to secure these exclusive NFTs. Bidding will commence at a minimum price of $15,000. Additionally, winning bidders will receive enticing rewards, such as an in-person training session with Ronaldo and tickets to an upcoming Binance Blockchain Week event.
