Dispersion Capital Launches $40 Million Fund for Web3 Infrastructure Development

Donald Trump shows no signs of slowing down on his Web3 aspirations, even after his recent indictment. On Tuesday, the former U.S. president announced the launch of "Series 2" of his Trump Digital Trading Cards NFT collection.

Trump took to his social media platform, Truth Social, to announce the release of a second edition of his collection, which he claims has had "great success" among collectors.

 

 

 

Although the tokens will be minted on the Polygon blockchain and maintain their original mint price of $99, the artwork, rarity traits, and utility features of the second collection will differ from the first. Notably, the second series boasts 47,000 non-fungible tokens, which is 2,000 more than the first series. This could be seen as a nod to Trump's desire to be the 47th President of the United States once again.

As per the Trump Digital Trading Card website, each of the 10 tokens will have distinct features, ensuring that no two are alike. Instead of a traditional sweepstakes, collectors who purchase 47 tokens will be eligible to claim a dinner with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. For those who purchase 100 tokens with cryptocurrency, they will not only earn the dinner but also receive a one-of-a-kind Trump-themed artwork.

 

 

 

Following the announcement of the new collection, the floor price of the original collection on the OpenSea secondary market dropped from almost 0.4 ETH, equivalent to $840, to 0.2 ETH, or $420, resulting in a 50% decrease in its value.

In December, Trump launched his inaugural NFT collection, which was completely sold out within a few hours. A recent disclosure by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics reveals that Trump made anywhere between $500,000 to $1 million from the collection.

In April, the value of the first collection on the secondary market surged following the news of his arrest.
