As Donald Trump faces New York City courts, NFT aficionados have lost interest in his most recent foray. His wife Melania, the former first lady, was not deterred and launched her own collection.<\/p>\n
Trading activity for Trump\u2019s digital trading cards is drying up across all platforms. According to OpenSea, the last sale<\/a> took place 22 days ago, on March 1, when two cards were sold for 0.0652 ETH each, or roughly $217.<\/p>\n There were $60,217 in sales in the past 30 days, according to CryptoSlam, <\/a>a 79% drop from $300,000 in the previous 30 days.<\/p>\n Sales transactions, according to CryptoSlam, have also been cut in half, with 245 purchases in the past month. DappRadar confirms<\/a> the numbers, with volume plunging 97% in 30 days.<\/p>\n These numbers seem to be aligned with Trump\u2019s trial currently underway.<\/p>\n But the declining sales numbers haven\u2019t turned the Trump family off NFTs. Melania Trump released a $245 Mother\u2019s Day necklace which comes accompanied by an NFT. Purchasing the necklace, which can be done through the Phantom browser wallet, comes with a complimentary Solana-based NFT.<\/p>\n This isn\u2019t the first time the former first lady has launched an NFT collection<\/a> on Solana.<\/p>\n In late Dec. 2021, she created \u201cMelania\u2019s Vision,\u201d an illustration that her office had no trouble calling<\/a> \u201ca breathtaking watercolor art by Marc-Antoine Coulon, and embodies Mrs. Trump\u2019s cobalt blue eyes, providing the collector with an amulet that inspires.\u201d<\/p>\n Investors could purchase the artwork for 1 SOL, or $150 at the time.<\/p>\n She later launched \u201cHead of State,\u201d which, in a bizarre<\/a> turn of events, she allegedly had to buy back<\/a> herself, paying $180,000. \u201cWomen’s History Month Collection\u201d had a floor price of $150, as did her latest \u201c$MetaRose.\u201d<\/p>\n Melania also launched the \u201c1776 Collection\u201d in July 2023, a 3,500-piece collection symbolizing several important American landmarks, each selling for $50 dollars apiece.<\/p>\n Trump launched his first official collection, dubbed \u201cTrump Cards<\/a>,\u201d in Dec. 2022. Priced at $99 apiece, 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.<\/p>\n One year later, in Dec. 2023, he created his second NFT collection, \u201cMugshots,\u201d in a tip of the hat to a legal battle he was embroiled in. It came with a twist<\/a>, however.<\/p>\n Collectors who purchased 47 of these trading cards \u2013 if elected next year, Trump will become the 47th president of the United States \u2013 will receive a physical edition of the card with a piece cut out of the suit he wore when the mugshot took place last year.<\/p>\nMelania To The Rescue<\/h2>\n
