The digital collectible and NFT market continues to grow and is hopefully on its way to becoming mainstream, thanks to evolving use cases beyond popular pictures of monkeys wearing hats. Former U.S. President Donald Trump once again proves to be progressive and innovative with the release of his second NFT collection, dubbed the "America First" series. The new collection features digital images of Trump in various scenarios, from holding bitcoins to dancing and more. However, the question of interest to NODO is: Will this collection sell out within ten days, similar to his previous collection, which sold out in less than 24 hours back in 2022?

A Trip Down Memory Lane: Trump's First Adventure into NFTs

In December 2022, Trump, in his usual radical and unpredictable fashion, made a surprise announcement about his first NFT collection. The announcement was met with widespread mockery on social media. Surprisingly, the collection sold out within 24 hours, pulling in a staggering $4.5 million in sales This collection featured Trump in various heroic roles, and despite being priced at $99, core supporters expressed their support through purchases. Additional perks were included to incentivize supporters, such as dinner at Mar-a-Lago or a round of golf with Trump.

The collection's success first demonstrated how immense Trump is as a brand, and it also marked a pivotal moment for NFTs, further re-echoing their potential as tools to capture the imaginations and memories of collectors, political supporters, and music fans alike.

The America First Collection: A New Opportunity for Collectors

Less than two years later, Trump is back with a new NFT collection, building on the success of 2022 and making it even more enticing for his supporters. In an election year, this attempt could easily be categorized as a fundraising event for his campaign. The "America First" NFT collection, like its predecessor, is priced at $99 per card. The standout difference this time around is the additional incentives for big spenders: those who purchase 15 or more cards ($1,485) will receive a physical card adorned with a piece of the suit Trump wore during his presidential debate against Joe Biden. Excitingly, those who purchase 75 cards ($7,425) will earn a spot at a gala dinner with Trump at his National Golf Club in Jupiter, Florida

A strategic blend of digital and physical rewards, coupled with Trump's brand and polarizing presence in American politics, raises an interesting question for us at NODO: Can lightning strike twice? Will this new collection sell out within ten days, or will it take longer?
