Launched last year, Ronaldo’s NFT drops include rights to meet or play with the legendary athlete. The latest video showed him honoring that perk for select token holders.
However, not all fans are happy. The joint class action lawsuit filed in November argues that Ronaldo’s endorsement of Binance NFTs effectively marketed unlawful security assets.
Binance users find it difficult to serve formal notice to Ronaldo
Plaintiffs claim the multi-year partnership promoted investments without proper disclosures or filings. However, serving formal notice to Ronaldo has proved challenging, as the football icon resides overseas with an undisclosed personal address.
A recent motion seeks court permission to inform Ronaldo of the case through electronic and public channels instead. Still, with no injunction so far, Binance continues to leverage its star athlete to drive NFT sales.

Ronaldo again boosted his latest NFT drop earlier by undergoing a lie detector test to prove he personally owned non-fungible tokens. For now, Ronaldo continues engaging select fans through NFT-gated events, even as his Web3 activities fuel broader scrutiny.
