With Algorand (ALGO) and Crypto.com sponsoring the World Cup, many sports fans are seeing more and more crypto creep into the field.
In this article, I will be looking at Ronaldo’s NFT collection on Binance, Manchester United’s NFT collection on Tezos, and Big Eyes’s (BIG) soon-to-be-released NFT collection.
Ronaldo Chops at United’s Marketing, Then Drops NFTs
Fans have slammed Ronaldo for tweeting about NFTs after his scathing remarks towards Manchester United in his tell-all interview with Piers Morgan.
“The owners of the club listen, the Glazers, they don’t care about the club,” he emphasised. “Manchester is a marketing club, they will get its money from the marketing, the sports they don’t really care, in my opinion.”
Shortly after this interview, Ronaldo boldly tweeted about his new NFT collection releasing on Binance. Fans will have the chance to collect and own a singular glorious moment in Ronaldo’s legacy. The collection spans across his career and journey with some of hismost memorable goals, skills, performances and moments from his days at Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus.
Many fans were quick to see a contradiction in Ronaldo’s logic – he is promoting and marketing a new product, right after he criticised the Glazers for solely focusing on marketing. ‘”Man United is a marketing club”!!! What’s this tweet about??’ one incredulous fan asked. ‘Bro caused a whole scene at his company and then dropped an NFT collection!’ another fan wrote.
Time will only tell how Ronaldo’s NFT collection performs. Investors in the collection could be yelling “SIUUUUUU” if he delivers in the World Cup, which would likely bump the price up.
United With Tezos
Manchester United will be dropping an NFT collection soon with their training kit sponsors Tezos (XTZ).
United hope to foster the community spirit around the club with the NFT collection, to form a “community designed to educate, reward and unite its global fanbase through digital and real-world experiences”. These NFTs will launch on the Tezos blockchain, which is a platform similar to Ethereum (ETH) based on smart contracts. However, Tezos has a more advanced infrastructure, allowing it to evolve over time without the risk of a hard fork. Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) have both suffered from hard forks over their lifespans. Tezos aims to create a platform that is built to last.
Community Cats: Big Eyes
In a similar vein to Manchester United wanting to foster community with their NFT collection, Big Eyes (BIG) also has its sights set on building a strong community around the coin. Big Eyes is a new meme coin and community token, and will soon have an NFT collection dropping as the coin progresses through more stages of its career.
Big Eyes’ NFT collection will also focus on giving back to the community by implementing a 10% tax on all NFT sales. 4% will be distributed to the original seller, 5% distributed to holders, and 1% to charity. At first, these percentages do not sound like a lot. However, in an active NFT market, these sales can quickly accumulate a significant amount to make a real difference to people in the community. As more people engage in buying and collecting incredibly cute pieces of art, these Big Eyes NFTs will be a gift that keeps on giving to you, others in your community, and also to charities.
Final Thoughts
With the World Cup on the horizon, and crypto heavily intertwined in the space, it could mean a bump in prices in the crypto market, and also in these NFT collections. Ronaldo or any Manchester United player in the World Cup performing exceptionally well could mean significant gains for owners of these NFTs. Big Eyes (BIG) NFTs will build on this sporting spirit and camaraderie for fellow countrymen in the World Cup to create a community that will have people scratching at the doors to get into.
