Trump Launches Fourth Series of NFT Trading Cards Amid Growing Interest

Former US President Donald Trump has rolled out the fourth edition of his digital trading cards collection, further solidifying his involvement in the NFT market.

This latest collection is already creating a significant buzz, building on the success of his earlier NFT ventures.

Expanding the Collection

The new “America First Edition” series includes NFTs priced at $99 each, featuring artwork of Trump in various dynamic poses, such as dancing and holding Bitcoins. This release is set to be the largest of Trump’s NFT collections, with up to 360,000 cards expected to be minted. This surpasses the previous set, which had a potential maximum of 100,000 cards but only saw just over 50,000 sold. Earlier collections, which consisted of 44,000 and 46,000 NFTs, sold out quickly.

The new NFT series, announced via Trump’s Truth Social platform, features several high-value perks for large-quantity buyers. Those who purchase 75 digital trading cards in one transaction will receive a VIP ticket to attend a dinner with Trump at his private club in Jupiter, Florida, on Sunday, September 22. This package also comes with a pair of exclusive, limited-edition Trump sneakers.

Buyers who purchase 250 NFTs will be granted two “Ultra VIP” tickets for themselves and a friend to attend the gala dinner at Trump’s private club, sitting at the VIP table alongside the former president. In addition, they will have the opportunity to enjoy cocktails with Trump before the dinner.

The new NFTs will be restricted from resale until January 31, 2025, as per the project’s website. These cards are managed by NFT INT LLC, which holds the license for Trump’s imagery and branding.

Crypto Advocacy and Financial Gains

Trump’s NFT initiatives are part of a larger strategy to connect with the cryptocurrency sector. During a May event for his third NFT release, he positioned himself as a potential supporter of the crypto industry, pledging to back it if elected and criticizing the Democrats’ approach to digital currencies.

His recent speech at the Bitcoin conference in Nashville and pro-Bitcoin statements on the Republican platform have further bolstered his crypto credentials. These efforts have attracted substantial financial support from the crypto sector, despite Trump’s earlier criticism of Bitcoin.

The proceeds from Trump’s NFT sales go to his campaign fund. Recent reports reveal that his NFT projects have brought in over a million dollars in cryptocurrency.

Market Response and Political Implications

Trump’s first NFT launch in late 2022 was widely ridiculed but sold out rapidly, leading to an increase in secondary market prices. However, later releases have seen varied levels of success.

As Trump maintains his pro-cryptocurrency stance, this could emerge as a significant issue in the upcoming election, especially with his Democratic opponent Kamala Harris still silent on her position regarding digital currencies.next
