Soccer Symbols and Crypto
The cryptocurrency industry has successfully interacted with the football world in the past. Last year, former FC Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta – advertised cryptocurrency exchange Binance on Instagram and Twitter – albeit somewhat controversially.
In early 2022, Neymar revealed that he was an NFT enthusiast by purchasing the Bored Ape Yacht Club digital collectible for around 160 ETH. At the time of the transaction, it was valued at over $480,000.
Ronaldinho and David Beckham are also part of that club. The former recently partnered with decentralized exchange P00LS to launch its own token called RON, while the British filed three trademark applications on the metaverse for NFTs, virtual clothing and entertainment programs.
