Trump debuts 'MugShot' NFTs, blending legal challenges, political aspirations, and crypto innovation in a unique collection capturing the first-ever mugshot of a U.S. President.
Shortly after gearing up for his arrest, ex-president Donald Trump found himself processed at the Fulton County jail and had his mugshot taken which he proudly displayed on X.
Data from OpenSea, a prominent NFT marketplace, showed that more than 40 NFTs from Trump's collection were sold within the last 24 hours.
This wallet appears linked to non-fungible tokens (NFTs) released during his campaign for the 2024 White House bid. These NFTs, virtual trading cards depicting Trump in various roles like a superhero, cowboy, or astronaut, initially launched at $99 each in December 2022.
Donald Trump’s NFT trading cards grabbed ample attention when launching in December, then fell flat once January rolled around.
Donald Trump’s first official NFT collection was the talk of the crypto world late last week, captivating Twitter and late night TV in the process.
Trump’s distrust toward crypto has been apparent in the past when he called it a “scam” and deemed it “dangerous”. So his dive into the NFT world was a mind-boggling change.
In fact, many of the designs - including a spacesuit and a cowboy getup - were seen previously on websites for clothing and even stock photos
The collection spiked in trading volume after it launched on Thursday, to 5,548 ETH or over $6.5 million as of Sunday morning.
