Former US President Donald Trump Launches Second Collection of NFT Cards

Liputan6.com, Jakarta Former US President Donald Trump announced the launch of the second series of his digital Trump card collection on April 18, 2023, following the huge success of his first non-fungible token (NFT) trading card.

Although they sold out quickly, Trump stated on Truth Social that he was keeping the scratch card price on the new collection.

Its first NFT collection, launched in mid-December 2022, sold out within hours. The value of the cards performed well in the secondary market and also jumped after Trump’s indictment by a Manhattan grand jury.

On March 30, 2023, Trump was indicted on 34 felony counts of allegedly falsifying business records related to actual payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels. Trump has pleaded not guilty and his legal team has requested a spring 2024 trial.

Meanwhile, over at Truth Social, Trump launched his second NFT collection just 19 days later. The cards are each valued at USD 99 or the equivalent of Rp. 1.47 million (assuming an exchange rate of Rp. 14,880 per US dollar) and are intended as collectibles for individual enjoyment only, not for investment purposes.

Each card features a previously assigned unique rarity. Customers who purchase Trump’s 47 NFTs will have the opportunity to dine with the former president.

“I’m pleased to tell you that, due to the great success of my previously launched digital trading card, we have it again, Series 2, available now,” Trump said in Truth Social.
