Former President Donald Trump has launched his fourth collection of nonfungible tokens (NFTs), offering a unique blend of crypto and politics. This new collection, featuring 50 NFTs, includes images of Trump in various bold personas—from a superhero to a motorcyclist, all aimed at promoting his bid to return to the White House.
A Diverse Collection at a Unique Price
Each NFT in this latest collection is priced at $99 and showcases Trump in various imaginative scenarios. In one card, Trump is depicted as a boxer, while in another, he is seen dancing. A standout image shows Trump holding a ball adorned with the Bitcoin logo, signaling his support for cryptocurrency.

For avid collectors, there are added incentives. Purchasing 15 NFTs will earn buyers a physical card featuring a piece of the suit Trump wore during the June presidential debate, which is credited with influencing President Joe Biden’s decision to step down from the race. Trump referred to this outfit as the “knock-out” suit in a video posted on his social media platform, Truth Social. Additionally, those who purchase 75 NFTs will receive an exclusive invitation to dine with Trump at his club in Jupiter, Florida.

A Crypto-Friendly Candidate
Bill Zanker, who collaborates with Trump on these NFT collections, noted that previous collections sold out within hours. Since May, after hosting a dinner for buyers of his earlier NFT series, Trump has increasingly embraced cryptocurrency as part of his political platform. He has pledged to support Bitcoin mining in the United States and has expressed opposition to the development of a central bank digital currency in the country.
“You know they call me the crypto president,” Trump stated in his video message. “I don’t know if that is true or not, but a lot of people are saying that. So don’t miss out.”
Market Conditions and the NFT Landscape
Trump’s NFT launch comes at a time when the overall market for nonfungible tokens is sluggish. Although NFT sales surged earlier in the year as Bitcoin reached new heights, the market has cooled significantly since June. Despite this, Trump’s first NFT collection, released shortly after the collapse of the FTX crypto exchange, was a success, with all tokens selling out quickly.
Trump’s new NFT collection not only reinforces his growing association with the crypto community but also adds a unique twist to his ongoing presidential campaign. Whether these NFTs will replicate the success of the previous collections remains to be seen, but they undoubtedly contribute to the former president’s distinctive blend of politics and digital innovation.
