Donald Trump<\/a>, the likely Republican presidential nominee, has announced plans for a fourth non-fungible token (NFT)<\/a> collection, citing the success of his previous releases.<\/p>\n In a recent Bloomberg interview<\/a>, Trump revealed that cryptocurrencies<\/a> accounted for 80% of payments for his past NFT collections. He expressed surprise at the popularity of crypto payments, stating:<\/p>\n The thing I really noticed was everything was paid in\u2014I would say almost all of it was paid in crypto, in this new currency. And it opened my eyes.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Trump lauded the success of his NFT ventures. He highlighted the experience:<\/p>\n \u201cIt was incredible. So, NFTs are, you know, I did the\u2014very successful. We had one year to sell it out and it sold out in one day. The whole thing sold out: 45,000 of the cards. And I did it three times [and] I\u2019m going to do another one, because the people want me to do another one. It\u2019s unbelievable spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The former president also stressed the importance of US leadership in cryptocurrencies and NFTs, warning that other countries, particularly China<\/a>, could take the lead if the United States<\/a> doesn\u2019t act.<\/p>\n If we don\u2019t do it, China is going to pick it up and China\u2019s going to have it\u2014or somebody else, but most likely China.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Trump believes the US has a \u201cgood foundation\u201d for cryptocurrencies and doesn\u2019t want to see another country dominate this emerging field. He also mentioned his growing connections with \u201ctop-flight\u201d industry professionals.<\/p>\n This marks a shift in Trump\u2019s stance on cryptocurrencies, as he previously held negative views towards the asset class. Recently, his campaign reported receiving cryptocurrency donations<\/a>, further highlighting his evolving position on digital assets. Recent news also indicates that crypto moguls will be participating in his upcoming super PAC.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n
