Messi, Cristiano, … soccer stars highlight the crypto
The partnership with Bitget is not Messi‘s first entry into the crypto ecosystem. Earlier this year, the Paris Saint Germain striker had already signed on as an ambassador for Socios.com for $20 million to promote the company’s fan tokens.
Lionel Messi is not the only soccer star to get involved in the crypto ecosystem. His main challenger Cristiano Ronaldo is also involved in promoting cryptocurrency.

At the end of the partnership, the Manchester United striker and the Binance exchange planned to create a series of NFT collections.

In the past year, Bitget has partnered with companies and stars that are successful in their respective fields. Soccer players are definitely popular in crypto!
I dream of a world where every citizen has total control over themselves, including their finances. I believe that Bitcoin is one of the tools that will achieve this revolution. Since 2019, I am learning about this cryptocurrency and spreading the word around.
