Binance Teases Second NFT Drop and Expands Fan Token Program
Following the sensational success of the first NFT drop, Binance is already teasing the second issue. The exchange enhanced its fan token program, providing exclusive opportunities to holders of premium NFTs from the initial collection. The offerings included a signed shirt by Cristiano Ronaldo and the opportunity to meet and train with him.
Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao aims to expand the exchange’s presence and pursue lucrative sports deals, including Ronaldo’s collaboration. Binance has already teamed up with several football clubs, including Italian SS Lazio, Portuguese FC Porto, and BWT Alpine F1.
Partnerships have enabled fan engagement through voting, while Token holders redeemed points for dinners with favorite stars. Binance sponsored Napoli, paying $32 million during the 2021 bull market, becoming the team’s shirt sponsor.
SCA Proposes Guidelines for Influencers Promoting Cryptocurrencies
Unfortunately, the expanding crypto industry and social media promotion cannot escape the crosshairs of governmental regulation. The US and South Africa are tightening regulations on crypto advertising, with the SCA proposing guidelines for influencers. Europe is preparing for ECMAD, which aims to tackle crypto manipulation by influencers with stricter measures.
NFTs’ popularity creates opportunities, and Ronaldo’s partnership with Binance brings optimism despite regulatory variations across countries. Cristiano Ronaldo’s upcoming series of “Forever CR7: The GOAT” digital collectibles will provide fans with unique experiences.
