Trump Digital Trading Cards, the NFT collection launched by incoming U.S. President Donald Trump, has exceeded a total trading volume of $65 million.
This surge in sales and volume comes ahead of Trump’s inauguration today, Jan. 20.
However, apart from that, the weekend frenzy that saw TRUMP launch a meme coin and his promises to the crypto sector seem to have influenced the rise.


Trump launched the Trump Digital Trading Cards in December 2022. The NFT collection features 45,000 items, each featuring the 45th U.S. president in different poses.
He, however, released a series 2 in April 2023. This time, it included 47,000 digital artworks, both of which were launched on the Polygon blockchain. Beyond these two, he also launched two other series, the fourth of which appeared on the Bitcoin network.
On Jan. 17, the average floor price of the Trump Digital Trading Cards Series 1 was 0.059 ETH. During that period, the NFT collection recorded 30 sales with a daily volume of  1.79 ETH.
By Jan. 18, sales had skyrocketed to 2,729, and the floor price had climbed to 0.27 ETH. That day’s volume coincided with the launch of the TRUMP memecoin was 746 ETH.
On an all-time basis, the total trading volume of the Trump Digital Trading Cards Series 1, hit 16,978 ETH.
Interestingly, CCN findings reveal that Series 2 was also not left out. On Jan. 17, sales of the NFTs stood at 37, with a floor price of 0.022 ETH. Furthermore, the volume on the mentioned date was less than 1 ETH.
Fast-forward to the next day. Sales jumped to 5,197 at an average price of 0.071 ETH while the volume hit $371 ETH. Since its inception, the trading volume of the Trump NFT collection series 2 has now hit 2,758 ETH.
Combined with Series 1, the volume has hit 19,736 ETH. At the cryptocurrency’s current value, this exceeds $65 million.
It is, however, important to mention that the floor prices have decreased from those peaks.
As of this writing, Series 1’s volume has decreased by 60% in the last 24 hours, and Series 2’s has fallen by a similar percentage.
However, since the inauguration is today, the sales volume for the Trump NFT collection might pick up again. If that is the case, the floor price might rally to the heights it reached over the weekend.
In addition, the rise and fall of the NFT floor price and volume appear to align with the momentum displayed by the Official Trump memecoin (TRUMP).
According to CoinMarketCap , the TRUMP memecoin price rallied above $73 on Sunday, Jan. 19. But the value has dropped below $60 at press time.
However, if the memecoin value continues to rebound toward that peak, there is a chance that the NFT collection might follow in the same direction. At the same time, this could also depend on Trump’s inaugural speech later today.
