沙奎尔·奥尼尔（Shaquille O'Neal）的秘密以太坊购买价值20万美元的生物世界nfts

尽管他对加密货币保持了持续的怀疑，但NBA传奇人物转变为企业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传奇人物变成商业大亨的Shaquille O'Neal以其比生命更大的性格和多样化的冒险而闻名。尽管篮球偶像公开表示对加密货币的怀疑，但证据表明，以交易使用而不是投资信念为标志的加密货币空间的参与令人惊讶，以及对他促销角色的重大法律影响。

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.

尽管他持怀疑态度，但奥尼尔的举动胜于雄辩。 2021年9月，Dappradar和Clutchpoints的报道表明，O'Neal购买了两个生物World NFTS，该系列在Solana上托管，总计6.5个以太坊（ETH），当时价值约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."

一个NFT，生物＃9018被以5个元素的形式获得，而另一个生物为9299，成本为1.55 ETH。 O'Neal后来将他的X个人资料图片更新为Creature＃9018，明显地发出了所有权，并与他的钱包活动保持一致，可以在Opensea上以化名“ ManofDominance”在Opensea上进行跟踪。

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.

此举是在他在2021年9月10日告诉CNBC的几周后，由于其复杂性，他没有投资于加密货币，这表明将加密货币用于NFT交易和将其视为长期资产之间存在区别。

"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.

奥尼尔在2022年对插座的采访中说：“我不明白它，所以我可能会远离它。”

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

但是，奥尼尔（O'Neal）在加密货币领域的促销活动最终掩盖了这些个人交易，并导致了法律上的并发症。

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，奥尼尔（O'Neal）解决了与他认可Astrals NFTS和FTX的集体诉讼，这是一次崩溃的加密货币交易所，最终导致投资者损失了一笔1100万美元的集体。该诉讼针对奥尼尔及其促销活动，指责他误导了他的名声来促进Astrals NFT（10,000个基于Solana的化身）与他的FTX广告一起作为未注册的证券。

"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采访中澄清说：“我只是一家商业广告的发言人。”

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.

该和解，截至2025年3月5日，待定法院的批准将看到部分收回的资金分配在投资者中，这些投资者因依赖O'Neal的认可而亏损的投资者，强调了他加密货币的法律风险。

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.

奥尼尔（O'Neal）的NFT购买与他对加密货币的谨慎谨慎形成鲜明对比。 2021年初，他表达了怀疑，说：“每当有人告诉我其中一个很棒的故事时，我都喜欢它。但是，根据我的经验，真是太好了。”在接受Essence杂志的采访中分享的这一说法强调了他不愿意广泛接受加密货币。

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.

后来，在2022年，Oneal将他的X手柄转移到了“ Shaq.sol”上，这是他在Solana促销角色之后进行的调整，进一步表明了对加密货币域的兴趣。但是，没有明确的证据将这种变化与他的促销活动之外的其他购买联系起来。

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.

分析人士认为，奥尼尔的以太坊的获取是由特定目的驱动的 - 促进了他的NFT交易，而不是投机性的赌注，与他的自我描述的对市场有限的了解相符。
