Former President Donald Trump has seen an increase in sales for his digital card collection of NFTs (Non-fungible tokens). According to CryptoSlam data, the collection has seen a jump of 133% in the past 24 hours. The surge in sales was a result of Trump’s arraignment in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, where he will stand trial for his alleged involvement in hush money payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels. Last December when the collection debuted to the public, it sold out within hours and drove a sum of $3.53 million in sales. As per reports, the collection fetched a price of around $50,000 after news surfaced that Trump had been indicted.

Trump took to his newly launched social media platform, Truth Social, to deny the allegations and label it a ‘witch hunt’. His digital collection of NFTs consist of various illustrations such as a portrait of him surrounded by gold bars, a ‘Trumpworld’ sign in the style of the ‘Hollywood’ sign, a superhero with lasers shooting out of his eyes and even an astronaut. However, the current jump in sales proved to be relatively minor compared to the sell out of the entire digital card collection during the peak moment in December.

The use of digital cards as NFTs has become a popular form of art that not only serves as a unique item but also a handy form of investment. With the ongoing trend of NFTs the current surge in Trump’s digital card collection is an example of how easily the market can sway in the right direction when certain news surface. From celebrities to tech industry giants, people are now more inclined to invest millions in these digital tokens. As of right now, it is uncertain how Trump’s collection will fair after today’s arraignment.
