On his part, Ronaldo noted that he would like to bring new experiences to his fans as he always wanted to be a part of the NFT platform.

 However, one year later, Ronaldo <a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/soccer-superstar-cristiano-ronaldo-sued-for-promoting-binance-crypto-exchange-heres-the-latest.htm" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">faces a lawsuit</a> in the United States over promoting the NFT with Binance.
The plaintiffs claim he participated in the offer and sale of unregistered securities in partnership with Binance claiming damages of over $1 billion.
In 2022, the cheapest of the digital collectibles were priced at $77 but plunged to $1 a year later with investors claiming that Ronaldo’s involvement led to a 500% increase in searches.
“Ronaldo’s promotions solicited or assisted Binance in soliciting investments in unregistered securities by encouraging his millions of followers, fans, and supporters to invest with the Binance platform.”&nbsp;
On Jan 16, plaintiffs sought to serve the sports star through substituted means like <a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/binance-customers-seek-to-serve-1b-lawsuit-to-ronaldo-via-x.htm" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">email and social media</a> as efforts to locate his residence in Saudi Arabia have been difficult
