Binance NFT has teased the next issue of the CR7 NFT collection. The company is also launching a limited edition free digital collectible for those who hold premium-level (SSR or SR) CR7 NFTs from the first drop.
Binance also revealed that the first CR7 NFT drop featuring (SSR and SR) NFTs sold out within 24 hours, while the 600 rare and 6,000 normal level NFTs were oversubscribed (R by 4.43x, N by 3.18x) respectively, subsequently selling out instantly after the subscription window closed.
At the time of the auction, Cristiano Ronaldo had just been sacked by Manchester United after his bombshell interview with Piers Morgan.
Since then, the world’s all-time leading goal-scorer with 838 has gone on to join the Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr, where he has scored 14 goals in 19 matches. On Tuesday, he scored his 123rd international goal, in his record 200th appearance.
His name has since been a dominant feature on social media, and Binance has pounced at an opportune time to announce the second CR7 NFT drop will be coming soon.
According to the blog post published by Binance on Wednesday, the 5 SSR CR7 NFTs sold at an average price of $22,800, generating $114,000, while the 40 SR NFTs were sold at about $2,389 for a total of $95,560.
Holders of the two premium NFT levels received football shirts signed by Cristiano Ronaldo and a digital meet-and-greet with the man himself, as part of the utility.
But Ronaldo and Binance aren’t stopping there with the company promising even more utility in the upcoming second drop.“Get ready to witness Ronaldo’s greatness across a new series of digital collectibles. The next drop will soon kick off — with more utility, more epic moments, and a whole new set of stories from CR7’s legacy,” the blog post reads.
