In December 2022, Trump unveiled a non-fungible token (NFT) collection , placing the self-styled pieces on one of the largest marketplaces to trade for cryptocurrencies. The NFTs immediately sold out , collecting 4,442 ETH, around $5.2 million at the time, before dropping drastically in value.
Shortly after, Trump’s wife Melania joined in the trend, unveiling a three-piece NFT collection she called the “Head of State Collection.” The family’s NFT venture did not stop there however, as Trump soon emerged with other collection months later, including one “Mugshot Edition” based on his viral mugshot picture in December 2023.
Trump also recently unveiled a Bitcoin sneaker brand , featuring a collection of limited edition shoes. With “Trump Crypto President” printed on the surface, the shoes go for up to $499, with the presidential candidate accepting payments in BTC and other crypto assets.
On the Flipside
- Community members have often condemned promotions by the Trumps as exploitative.
- Donald Trump’s winning odds on Polymarket bets recently took a dive as Kamala Harris surpassed him by 6%.
- Donald Trump was once a vocal antagonist of the crypto industry who severely criticized the asset class during his single term as President of the United States.
Why This Matters
The launch of the Telegram channel by Trump’s sons adds to the ongoing speculation about their crypto project. However, the apparent naivety of the brothers introduces a degree of uncertainty, highlighting the need for them to gain comprehensive knowledge of the asset class to avoid potential financial pitfalls.
