沙奎爾·奧尼爾（Shaquille O'Neal）的秘密以太坊購買價值20萬美元的生物世界nfts

儘管他對加密貨幣保持了持續的懷疑，但NBA傳奇人物轉變為企業shaquille o'neal

Shaquille O'Neal, the NBA legend turned business mogul, is known for his larger-than-life personality and diverse ventures. While the basketball icon has publicly expressed skepticism towards cryptocurrency, evidence reveals a surprising engagement with the crypto space, marked by transactional use rather than investment belief, as well as significant legal fallout from his promotional roles.

NBA傳奇人物變成商業大亨的Shaquille O'Neal以其比生命更大的性格和多樣化的冒險而聞名。儘管籃球偶像公開表示對加密貨幣的懷疑，但證據表明，以交易使用而不是投資信念為標誌的加密貨幣空間的參與令人驚訝，以及對他促銷角色的重大法律影響。

Despite his skepticism, O'Neal's actions speak louder than words. In September 2021, reports from DappRadar and Clutchpoints indicate that O'Neal bought two Creature World NFTs, a collection hosted on Solana, for a total of 6.5 Ethereum (ETH), valued at around $20,000 at the time.

儘管他持懷疑態度，但奧尼爾的舉動勝於雄辯。 2021年9月，Dappradar和Clutchpoints的報導表明，O'Neal購買了兩個生物World NFTS，該系列在Solana上託管，總計6.5個以太坊（ETH），當時價值約20,000美元。

One NFT, Creature #9018, was acquired for 5 ETH, while the other, Creature #9299, cost 1.55 ETH. O'Neal later updated his X profile picture to Creature #9018, visibly signaling ownership and aligning with his wallet activity, which can be tracked on OpenSea under the pseudonym "manofdominance."

一個NFT，生物＃9018被以5個元素的形式獲得，而另一個生物為9299，成本為1.55 ETH。 O'Neal後來將他的X個人資料圖片更新為Creature＃9018，明顯地發出了所有權，並與他的錢包活動保持一致，可以在Opensea上以化名“ ManofDominance”在Opensea上進行跟踪。

This move came just weeks after he told CNBC on Sep 10, 2021, that he hadn't invested in crypto due to its complexity, suggesting a distinction between buying crypto for NFT transactions and holding it as a long-term asset.

此舉是在他在2021年9月10日告訴CNBC的幾週後，由於其複雜性，他沒有投資於加密貨幣，這表明將加密貨幣用於NFT交易和將其視為長期資產之間存在區別。

"I don't understand it, so I will probably stay away from it until I get a full understanding," O’Neal stated in a 2022 interview with the outlet.

奧尼爾在2022年對插座的採訪中說：“我不明白它，所以我可能會遠離它。”

However, O'Neal's promotional involvement in the crypto domain has ultimately overshadowed these personal transactions and led to legal complications.

但是，奧尼爾（O'Neal）在加密貨幣領域的促銷活動最終掩蓋了這些個人交易，並導致了法律上的並發症。

In 2024, O'Neal settled a class-action lawsuit tied to his endorsement of Astrals NFTs and FTX, a collapsed crypto exchange, which ultimately led to investors losing a collective $11 million. The lawsuit targeted O'Neal and his promotional activities, accusing him of misleading investors by leveraging his fame to promote Astrals NFTs—10,000 Solana-based avatars—as unregistered securities, alongside his FTX commercials.

2024年，奧尼爾（O'Neal）解決了與他認可Astrals NFTS和FTX的集體訴訟，這是一次崩潰的加密貨幣交易所，最終導致投資者損失了一筆1100萬美元的集體。該訴訟針對奧尼爾及其促銷活動，指責他誤導了他的名聲來促進Astrals NFT（10,000個基於Solana的化身）與他的FTX廣告一起作為未註冊的證券。

"I was just a paid spokesperson for a commercial," ONeal clarified in a 2022 CNBC interview, distancing himself from deeper involvement after FTX's demise.

Oneal在2022年的CNBC採訪中澄清說：“我只是一家商業廣告的發言人。”

The settlement, pending court approval as of March 5, 2025, will see a portion of the recovered funds distributed among investors who lost money due to their reliance on O'Neal's endorsements, highlighting the legal risks of his crypto affiliations.

該和解，截至2025年3月5日，待定法院的批准將看到部分收回的資金分配在投資者中，這些投資者因依賴O'Neal的認可而虧損的投資者，強調了他加密貨幣的法律風險。

O'Neal's NFT purchases stand in stark contrast to his stated caution towards cryptocurrency in previous interviews. Earlier in 2021, he expressed his skepticism, saying, "Every time somebody tells me one of those great stories, I like it. But from my experience, it is too good to be true." This statement, shared in an interview with Essence Magazine, highlighted his reluctance to embrace crypto broadly.

奧尼爾（O'Neal）的NFT購買與他對加密貨幣的謹慎謹慎形成鮮明對比。 2021年初，他表達了懷疑，說：“每當有人告訴我其中一個很棒的故事時，我都喜歡它。但是，根據我的經驗，真是太好了。”在接受Essence雜誌的採訪中分享的這一說法強調了他不願意廣泛接受加密貨幣。

Later, in 2022, ONeal shifted his X handle to "Shaq.SOL," an adjustment that came after his promotional role for Solana, further indicating an interest in the crypto domain. However, no clear evidence links this change to additional purchases beyond his promotional activity.

後來，在2022年，Oneal將他的X手柄轉移到了“ Shaq.sol”上，這是他在Solana促銷角色之後進行的調整，進一步表明了對加密貨幣域的興趣。但是，沒有明確的證據將這種變化與他的促銷活動之外的其他購買聯繫起來。

Analysts suggest that O'Neal's Ethereum acquisition was driven by a specific purpose—to facilitate his NFT transactions—rather than a speculative bet, aligning with his self-described limited understanding of the market.

分析人士認為，奧尼爾的以太坊的獲取是由特定目的驅動的 - 促進了他的NFT交易，而不是投機性的賭注，與他的自我描述的對市場有限的了解相符。
