<p style="color: #252525;"><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #252525;">The <a href="https://twitter.com/WatcherGuru/status/1729758677647724947" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">suit</a> claims that some users who enrolled in Ronaldo’s NFTs were more inclined to use Binance for other needs. This includes investing in alleged unregistered securities. The complaints claim Ronaldo should have known “about Binance selling unregistered crypto securities” due to his “investment experience and vast resources to obtain outside advisers.”</span></p>
<h5><strong>More About Ronaldo’s Lawsuit</strong></h5>
<p style="color: #252525;"><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #252525;">According to the complaint, Ronaldo’s influence and reach were a major factor in Binance’s rising popularity. The football star has 850 million followers on social media. In addition, the plaintiffs claim that Ronaldo’s NFT sales were “incredibly successful” in boosting the exchange. They cited a 500% spike in searches for Binance in the week that followed the first sale.</span></p>
<p style="color: #252525;"><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #252525;">Furthermore, the complaint alleges that Ronaldo failed to disclose the money he received for promoting cryptocurrencies. They cited previous instructions from the SEC demanding influencers to do so.&nbsp;</span></p>
<h5><strong>This Is Not the Only Case of Celebrities’ Lawsuits</strong></h5>
<p style="color: #252525;"><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #252525;">The case highlights the responsibility and possible liability influencers and celebrities face when promoting assets such as cryptocurrencies. Interestingly, Ronaldo is not the only celebrity to have been sued for promoting crypto platforms. Others, like Shaquille O’Neal, Tom Brady, Floyd Mayweather, and Kim Kardashian, have faced lawsuits for their ties with the crypto platforms.</span></p>
