Cristiano Ronaldo - the first player to be rewarded with cryptocurrency

Juventus striker Cristiano Ronaldo became the first footballer to be rewarded with cryptocurrency.

Before the start of the clash between the Bianconeri and Benevento in Serie A (0: 1), the president of Turin Andrea Agnelli handed Cristiano a T-shirt with the inscription "GOAT" and number 770 - the record number of goals scored by the striker.

In addition, the Portuguese was rewarded with a $ 770 JUV token. The tokens in question are used by fans of the "old lady" to interact with the club and make some decisions through voting in a mobile application.

In the elite world football there are more and more clubs that use such cryptocurrencies. There are currently 24, including Manchester City, Atletico Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus.
