Donald Trump Unveils New ‘Mugshot’ NFTs, Stirring Up Prices for His Previous NFTs

Donald
Trump
announced
a

new
$99
NFT
collection
–
the
“Mugshot
Edition,”
a
nod
to
the
former
U.S.
president’s
legal
troubles
–
that
stirred
up
prices
for
the
non-fungible
tokens
he’d
already
issued.

Those
who
buy
47
Trump
cards
(if
elected
next
year,
Trump
would
be
the
47th
U.S.
president)
or
more
will
get
to
have
dinner
with
the
former
resident
at
Mar-a-Lago
and
receive
a
piece
of
the
suit
Trump
wore
for
his
mugshot
when
he
was
arrested
in
August.

“In
this
Edition,
some
cards
will
even
be
one-of-ones
(the
only
one
in
the
world),
while
some
others
could
even
be
hand-signed
by
President
Donald
J.
Trump,”
the
NFT
project’s
website
said.

Previously
issued
Trump
NFTs
flipped
at
as
low
as
0.1
ether

(ETH),
half
the
0.2
ETH
price
they
traded
before
the
announcement,
but
floor
prices
then
rebounded
to
around
0.18
ETH,
according
to

data
by
NFT
marketplace
OpenSea.

Trump,
despite
being
a

crypto
skeptic
when
he
was
president,
last
year
debuted
an

NFT
project
called

Trump
Digital
Collectible
Cards
sporting
images
of
himself
similar
to
baseball
cards.
He
released
a
second
series
of
collectibles
this
April.
Both
collections

sold
out.

Trump

held
$2.8
million
in
a
cryptocurrency
wallet
as
of
early
August,
earned
from
NFT
sales,
according
to
official
documents
governmental
ethics
watchdog
Citizens
for
Responsibility
and
Ethics
in
Washington
obtained.
