CRISTIANO RONALDO, FIRST PLAYER TO BE PAID IN CRYPTO-CURRENCY!

The revolution is already here. Cristiano Ronaldo is the first player to be paid in cryptocurrency in football history.

Cristiano Ronaldo received 770 Fan Tokens $ JUV ahead of Juventus' loss to Benevento on Sunday (1-0) to celebrate his record 770 career goals. Ronaldo has therefore made history in two different ways. With his record, which allowed him to overtake Pelé, but also by becoming the first player to be paid in this way. This is indeed the first time that a footballer has been rewarded with a cryptocurrency, a currency which is becoming increasingly important in terms of interaction with fans in the game.

As a background reminder, $ JUV Fan Tokens allow Juventus fans to interact with their club and participate in various decisions through the Socios app. Manchester City are the latest clubs to join a list of 24 teams to use crypto tokens in top football, with Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain also using Chiliz's platform. The total value of fan chips in the Chiliz system is believed to be over $ 400 million. The currency of the future in football?
