Renowned footballer Cristiano Ronaldo, whose jersey number is 7, earning him the nickname CR7, has taken to X to celebrate Binance’s 7th anniversary.
He expressed his support and congratulations to the cryptocurrency platform, writing: “@binance just celebrated the incredible milestone of 7 years, and it’s worth a big SIIIMMM! Here’s to many more successes together as a team. #BinanceTurns7.”
The post confirms Cristiano Ronaldo’s ongoing involvement with the crypto platform, despite a series of controversies surrounding their partnership.
Recall that Binance announced its first “CR7” collection of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) in partnership with Ronaldo in November 2022. The partnership aimed to reward fans for their support and create a more relatable connection with fans through unique opportunities. However, on November 27th, 2023, this partnership was marred by legal challenges.
Ronaldo faced a class action lawsuit in the US over his promotion of Binance, with plaintiffs claiming that his endorsement led to a loss in investments. The lawsuit sought damages exceeding $1 billion, alleging that Ronaldo should have disclosed how much he was paid to promote the NFTs and Binance’s crypto products.
