Cristiano Ronaldo faces big lawsuit in cryptocurrency scandal

Cristiano Ronaldo was sued for his involvement in the promotion of Binance, a cryptocurrency exchange platform that is currently in a very complicated legal situation.

The plaintiffs in the class action lawsuit claim that the soccer star’s presence in that marketing campaign was crucial for their decision to participate and invest in Binance. As a result, they are seeking compensation close to $1 billion.

During a campaign held in November 2022, Binance announced to the public a series of NFTs in collaboration with Cristiano Ronaldo. In the advertising, the Portuguese legend invited people to invest, claiming that the profitability would be enormous.

The lawsuit points out that CR7 used his influence and reach on social media, where he has more than 850 million followers (610 million are on Instagram), to help boost the popularity of Binance.
