Donald Trump NFTs Drop Big, Headed to Zero?: The buzz surrounding former president Donald Trump’s NFT collection appears to have subsided days after it made news in the cryptocurrency world and received considerable social media attention. Trump NFTs’ price and transaction volume are falling, and the NFT collection appears to be fighting for survival.
NFT Price Fall Under Donald Trump

Data from CryptoSlam shows that on December 17, the trade volume for Trump’s NFTs, which were created on the Ethereum scaling network Polygon, reached a record high. The book exceeded $3.5 million at that time. Sales of Trump digital trading cards have similarly plummeted on the OpenSea website, from 6,661 on December 17 to just 529 on December 22 and 260 on December 23.
But on Monday, the trade volume fell by 57% to roughly $836,000 in ETH, and the average sale price dropped to about $466. As of December 24, each NFT card was only worth 0.23 ETH, or $280, a 72% decrease from its peak value. The one bright spot for its early investors is that they still made a profit margin of 182% if they purchased them at the launch price of $99.
