Donald Trump has announced a new batch of nft trading cards, continuing his bid to win crypto votes in the upcoming November election.
The US Republican presidential candidate took to his Truth Social account to introduce the non-fungible token as he posted a promotional video of himself saying that people are calling him the “crypto president.”
nft Trading Cards Series 4
The digital cards, titled “Series 4: America First Collection,” feature 50 stylized images of the former president with various captions, including “Greatest of All Time” and “America Strong.”
Fans of the billionaire politician can reportedly purchase these nfts for $99 each. Those who buy 15 or more cards, for a total of $1,485, will receive a physical version that includes a snippet of the suit he wore during his presidential debate with Joe Biden in June.
According to the 78-year-old's post, up to 25 people who spend $24,750 exclusively in cryptocurrency will receive tickets to a gala in Florida next month and the chance to enjoy cocktails with the former president.
A change of heart
In 2021, Trump dismissed bitcoin as a “scam.” However, his outlook has changed markedly since then, and in June 2024, he proclaimed at a campaign rally in Racine, Wisconsin that the future of cryptocurrencies will be “made in America.”
Despite his initial claims about the asset class, the serial investor also jumped on the nft wave in December 2022, selling his first batch of 44,000 tokens two days after their launch, according to data from OpenSea.
Furthermore, during a speech at the bitcoin (btc) 2024 conference in Nashville, attended by around 20,000 people, the Republican standard-bearer reaffirmed his pro-crypto stance. He pledged to maintain the United States' bitcoin holdings and establish them as a national strategic reserve.
Additionally, David Bailey, CEO of bitcoin Magazine and organizer of the conference, revealed that the crypto community had donated more than $25 million to Trump's campaign by the end of July.
The launch of the new nft cards follows Trump’s promotion of an “official” cryptocurrency project on Truth Social. The project is linked to a Telegram group run by his sons, Eric and Donald Trump Jr., called “The Defiant Ones” and affiliated with decentralized finance (DeFi).
The latest news indicates that the group has changed its name to “World Liberty Financial” and has gained almost 50,000 subscribers. However, little is known about the future of the project, as details remain scarce.
