No one is buying Donald Trump’s NFTs – so Melania decided to step up
Several platforms show interest in Trump’s digital trading card drop, while the former first lady launched a new NFT necklace.
As Donald Trump faces New York City courts, NFT aficionados have lost interest in his latest foray. His wife Melania, the former first lady, was not intimidated and launched her own collection.
Trading activity for Trump’s digital trading cards is declining across all platforms. According to OpenSea, the last sale occurred 22 days ago, on March 1, when two cards were sold for 0.0652 ETH each, or about $217.
Trump Sales
There were sales of $60,217 in the last 30 days, according to CryptoSlam, a 79% drop from $300,000 in the previous 30 days.
Sales transactions, according to CryptoSlam, were also halved, with 245 purchases last month. Dapp Radar confirm the numbers, with volume dropping 97% in 30 days.
These numbers appear to be in line with the Trump trial currently underway.
Melania to the rescue
But the decline in sales numbers hasn’t turned the Trump family away from NFTs. Melania Trump launched a $245 Mother’s Day necklace that comes with an NFT. Purchasing the necklace, which can be made through the Phantom browser wallet, comes with a free Solana-based NFT.
This is not the first time that the former first lady has launched a NFT Collection in Solana.
In late December 2021, she created “Melania’s Vision,” an illustration that her office I had no problems connecting “a breathtaking watercolor by Marc-Antoine Coulon and incorporates Mrs. Trump’s cobalt blue eyes, providing the collector with a charm that inspires.”
Investors could purchase the artwork for 1 SOL, or US$150 at the time.
Later, she released “Chief of State”, which, in a bizarre turn of events, she allegedly had to buy back herself, paying $180,000. “Women’s History Month Collection” had a minimum price of $150, as did her latest “$MetaRose.”
Melania also launched the “1776 Collection” in July 2023, a collection of 3,500 pieces symbolizing several important American landmarks, each selling for $50 each.
Trump loves NFTs
Trump launched his first official collection, dubbed “Trumps,” in December 2022. Priced at $99 each, the NFT collection of 45,000 trading cards of himself was minted on the Polygon blockchain and sold out in less than a day. These are the NFTs he is struggling to sell today.
A year later, in December 2023, he created his second NFT collection, “Mugshots,” in honor of a legal battle he was involved in. with a twisthowever.
Collectors who purchased 47 of these trading cards – if elected next year, Trump will become the 47th president of the United States – will receive a physical edition of the card with a cut-out piece of the suit he was wearing when the photo took place last year. .
Mugshots have a minimum price of $12,500 at Magical Eden but have not shown any activity in the last 24 hours, likely due to the fact that only two are listed for sale.
