In a recent interview with Bloomberg, Trump considered launching a fourth NFT collection, emphasizing U.S. cryptocurrency leadership.
Donald Trump, the former president of the United States, disclosed that he is considering establishing a fourth non-fungible token collection.
During an extensive interview on Tuesday, he emphasized the significance of the United States’ leadership in the cryptocurrency industry.
In an interview with Bloomberg on July 16, Trump stated, “I am going to do another one because the people want me to do another one.”
“We had one year to sell it out, and it was sold out in one day,” he continued. The theme of his ongoing criminal indictments was the focal point of his most recent NFT collection, “MugShot.”
“I would estimate that the majority of the payment was made in this new currency, which is crypto.” Trump continued, “And it opened my eyes.”
He stated that his objective is to guarantee that the United States is a leader in the cryptocurrency sector.
Baby. The entity is currently in its infancy. However, Trump stated, “I do not wish to be held accountable for allowing another nation to dominate this sector.”
He also asserted that China, which is “pretty advanced in that area,” would become a leader in the industry if he chose to disregard it.
He recognized the shift in attitude that traditional banking executives, including the CEO of JP Morgan, have adopted toward cryptocurrency over the years.
“Jamie Dimon was, you know, very negative, and now all of a sudden he’s changed his tune a little bit,” Trump stated, mere months after Dimon confronted criticism from the crypto industry for his harsh words against cryptocurrency at a Senate Banking Committee hearing in December 2023.
Dimon stated at the time, “If I were the government, I would shut it down.”
Trump’s remarks are made mere days following an assassination attempt that occurred while he was addressing a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Cointelegraph reported on July 14 that the MAGA memecoin, which is based on Ethereum, experienced a rapid increase in price from $6.31 to $10.36 immediately following the assassination attempt.
This resulted in a total market capitalization increase from $293 million to $469 million in less than 45 minutes.
