Donald Trump expects to publish his fourth collection of NFT images. In an interview with Bloomberg Businessweek, Trump announced the development and highlighted how well his other collections had performed. He said “The whole thing sold 45,000 of the cards. And I did it three times. I’m going to do another one because the people want me to do another one. It’s an unbelievable spirit. Beautiful.”
Previous Teases and Supply and Demand
Trump mentioned the prospect in May at a Mar-a-Lago banquet for his favorite NFT holders. He highlighted the idea of supply and demand back then. “I believe in supply and demand. And as you know, one did great, two did great, three did great. At some point maybe that turns around”.
The crypto community strongly supports Trump’s presidency campaign. Trump’s campaign began taking crypto donations in May. A Wall Street Journal report showed that Trump’s campaign raised almost $3 million in crypto last quarter.
J.D. Vance, a senator who supports bitcoin, was named by Trump as his running mate. Prominent people in the cryptocurrency space, such as Jesse Powell, co-founder of Kraken and Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, co-founders of Gemini have made large contributions to Trump’s campaign for reelection and associated super PACs.
Trump expressed his belief in the longevity of crypto. He has had many meetings at his fundraisers with prominent figures in the crypto space. Trump described these supporters as “top flight people”.
Shift from Skepticism to Support
Trump was once a vocal critic of crypto. He now embraces the industry, citing global competition. “If we don’t do it, China is going to pick it up and China’s going to have it or somebody else, but most likely China. China very much into it”, Trump told Bloomberg Businessweek.
Trump sees potential in the U.S. crypto industry. “It’s a baby. It’s an infant right now,” he said. Trump does not want another nation to dominate the crypto sphere. He believes the U.S. has a good foundation and wants to foster its growth.
Looking Ahead
As Trump prepares for his fourth NFT collection and continues to integrate crypto into his political strategy, his evolving relationship with digital assets reflects broader shifts in both finance and politics. With strong backing from influential figures in the crypto sphere and a growing base of supporters eager for his NFT releases, Trump’s engagement with NFTs and crypto is set to remain a prominent aspect of his political and business endeavors moving forward.
