Last week, Former President Donald Trump released a collection of 45,000 NFTs. The tokens, minted on Polygon, sold out completely like hot pancakes in a period of less than a day.
Per press time data from OpenSea, the total volume of the Trump Digital Trading Card collection stood at 6332 ETH or around $7.5 million. Furthermore, the floor price reflected a value of 0.344 ETH [$406.74]. The same marked a rough 4x elevation from its original launch price of $99.
According to community reactions on social media platforms, Trump’s move is likely intended to merge NFT fan engagement with politics ahead of the next presidential election.
