Cristiano Ronaldo returned to Web3 with a bang, rekindling his partnership with Binance, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world. In a hard-hitting teaser on April 15, 2025, through the official account of Binance on X (the previous Twitter), the football icon announced, “Challenge Accepted,” hinting at a new chapter in his adventure through digital collectables. The brief but powerful clip shows Ronaldo in action, showcasing his trademark moves and charm on the pitch.
At the end of the clip, the Binance NFT logo appears, fuelling widespread rumours of a new collection or challenge in the works. Teaser Generates Excitement in Web3 and Sports Communities While details of the new project have not been revealed, the teaser has already created anticipation among football and cryptocurrency enthusiasts. The clip not only certifies Ronaldo’s interest in blockchain -based fan engagement but also hints at changing methods sports icons are using NFTs to drive their global appeal.
Industry observers speculate that the teaser could be connected to an extension or development of Ronaldo’s earlier digital collectible series with Binance, perhaps new skill-based NFTs, interactive challenges, or rewards for the community. Earlier Success: “ForeverSkills” NFT Collection The announcement comes after the success of Ronaldo’s “ForeverSkills” NFT collection, which was released in December 2024 on Binance. The collection consisted of eight signature football skills and was categorised into three types: Proof of Skill, Free, and Premium.
The Proof of Skill Challenge took place from December 1–8, challenging fans to recreate Ronaldo’s football skills on TikTok and Instagram. Seventy-seven fans were rewarded with special NFTs , and one lucky fan won a meet-and-greet with Ronaldo at a masterclass event. At the same time, the Free Tier provided access to video tutorials and exclusive community channels with the possibility of minting three skill-themed NFTs.
The Premium Tier, costing US$77 per collectible, provided seven high-level tutorials, signed merchandise giveaways, and access to Ronaldo’s virtual masterclass. Binance Boasts Deeper Fan Engagement In his comments on the partnership, Binance Head of Global Partnerships Sarah Dale stated previously, “Through the ForeverSkills Digital Collectibles, fans of Cristiano Ronaldo and Binance users will have the opportunity to engage with the football icon on a level that is only possible through our work bridging digital and physical worlds.” Ronaldo himself has shown his interest in leveraging Web3 to maintain a connection with his huge fan base.
“I love the chance to connect my passion with fans in new, creative ways,” he said in the recent NFT launch. More Details Expected Soon As fans wait for more solid news, the teaser has already generated rumours that a new series of digital collectibles, or maybe a global fan challenge in an interactive format, is in the pipeline. Binance has reassured that further information is to come soon, keeping everyone on their toes in the crypto and sporting communities.
