Neymar Jr stood on the pitch at full time, tears streaming down his face. He had waited 981 days to wear the Seleção jersey again.
Coach Carlo Ancelotti had declared Neymar fully fit after a long recovery from calf and knee injuries. The forward’s return in a 2026 World Cup qualifier against Scotland was as much a test of mental resilience as physical durability.
But beyond the emotion, Neymar’s past crypto moves serve as a cautionary tale. In 2022, he bought Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs and partnered with NFTSTAR. Back then, it looked like a mainstream breakthrough. Today, BAYC floor prices have cratered and the broader NFT market has contracted sharply. No related tokens moved on this news.
