Portuguese football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has announced the launch of his fourth non-fungible token (NFT) collection in partnership with Binance. The collection will launch on 29 May with fixed pricing across most items.
According to a Binance blog post, Cristiano Ronaldo said, "My soccer journey has taken me all over the world and I've had the honor of playing for some of the most prestigious clubs in the world. Now you can join me. It's my turn," he commented. I will accompany you on this journey." However the post did state that the price will be the same for every Normal NFT while pricing for the final Super Rare NFT in the collection will differ.
The plaintiffs in the suit claimed Ronaldo “promoted, assisted in, and/or actively participated in the offer and sale of unregistered securities in coordination with Binance,” and that he should have known that Binance was involved in such activities. The suit against Cristiano Renaldo stemmed from Binance’s previous legal issues culminating in founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao being found guilty in the U.S. of enabling fraud.

Uniswap vote on the new fee mechanism will be held by May 31.
Uniswap Foundation stated that the free switch will be implemented despite the United States Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) Wells notification against the DeFi protocol. The notice, released in April, alleged that the company had violated securities laws. Uniswap Labs argued that under the current legal classification, the SEC does not have jurisdiction to regulate decentralized protocols.
The SEC has been investigating Uniswap Labs, Uniswap's lead developer, since 2021. The decentralized exchange (DEX) previously delisted several tokens from its platform, citing increased regulatory pressure. Back in February, the Uniswap Foundation presented a proposal to introduce a fee reward system that would encourage UNI token holders to participate more actively in governance decisions.
