Cristiano Ronaldo has been hit with a class-action lawsuit seeking at least $1 billion in damages for his role in promoting cryptocurrency-related 'non-fungible tokens,' or NFTs, issued by the beleaguered cryptocurrency exchange Binance. Ronaldo launched his inaugural NFT 'CR7' collection with Binance in November of last year, ahead of the 2022 World Cup . The NFTs - which had starting prices ranging from the equivalent of about $77 to $10,000 - featured seven animated statues depicting Ronaldo from iconic moments in his life, from bicycle-kick goals to his childhood in Portugal.

The cheapest NFT from the collection was priced at $77 when it went on sale in November last year, but a year later it was priced at around $1. Ronaldo's promotion of Binance was 'deceptive and unlawful', the lawsuit filed in federal court in the Southern District of Florida on Monday alleges. Binance's partnership with high-profile figures like Ronaldo led them into costly and unsafe investments, the plaintiffs claim.

Monday's suit says that the promotional efforts of Ronaldo's Binance partnership were 'incredibly successful' - alleging a 500 per cent increase in online searches using the keyword 'Binance' after the soccer star's NFTs was announced. The collection's premium-level NFTs sold out within the first week, the suit claims.

The suit also alleges that Ronaldo should have disclosed how much Binance has paid him for the partnership. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission previously noted that federal law requires celebrities to publicly disclose how much they're getting paid to promote securities, including crypto assets. NFTs are ordinary digital images with an attached version number that have been added to a cryptocurrency blockchain, a process designed to make them '
unique' collectibles.

NFTs enjoyed a brief boom, but have since largely collapsed in value as the crypto industry has been marred by scandals and market meltdowns. Over the summer, Binance was accused of operating as an unregistered securities exchange and violating a slew of U.S. securities laws in a lawsuit f
rom regulators.

The crypto exchange agreed last week to pay a roughly $4 billion settlement and its founder Changpeng Zhao stepped down as CEO and pleaded guilty to a felony related to his failure to prevent money laundering on the platform. This week's lawsuit against Ronaldo isn't the first time that a celebrity has faced litigation over crypto promotions. Last year, for example, a host of Hollywood and sports stars - including Larry David and Tom Brady - were named as defendants in a class-action suit against FTX, which was the second-largest crypto exchange before it collapsed in November 2022.
