According to data fromsecondary marketplace OpenSea, Trump Digital Trading Card holders collectively sold 30 tokens in the hour after his court appearance – a 462% increase – and 47 over a six-hour period.

Though it was a large jump, it's also a relatively small amount of activity for the NFT space. For context, one of the top trending collections,Nakamigos, had 1,286 sales in the same six-hour period.

The former president released his series of digital collectibles in December. For $99, a buyer could purchase a token featuring his likeness and enter a sweepstakes to earn exclusive experiences with the former commander-in-chief. The collectionquickly sold out,and the price more than doubled on the secondary market.

The floor price has stayed steady at around 0.5 ether (ETH), or about $930.

TheNFTs representing sweepstakes prizesassociated with the Trump Digital Cards mint have had zero sales in the last six hours.

Trumpwas in Manhattan criminal court to be arraigned on 34 felony criminal charges of falsifying business records. He pleaded not guilty.

Domestic - 2017
“Domestic is the manifestation of the cultural patriarchy in my home. The wooden "woman's" tragedy of false desire. It was done in a moment of breakup. The hollow 3d body & its lost eyes, invites you to fill up. Trying to reach out, encumbered and wrapped in its own fragility, the new mother rises."
The Moth Catcher
In this psychologically bed-headed portrait, a creature sets in a trance; his eyes devolved and vestigal, his third eye open but hardened and in a form resembling a Sharingan. The imagery therefore expresses an awareness existing in corporeal introspection. The creature’s mind sprouts, on the left side, an emerging face, grinning. To the right side of the head, red tentacles and fingers intertwine–a collaboration of invertebrate and vertebrate consciousness cooperatively handling paint brushes of the sort used to build an oil painting. The neck and throat bristle with random thorns, as from a rose or the upper portions of a beak sprouting from its flesh. The neck itself disassociates into layers of membranous material, terminating upon an abstracted base of convoluted forms composing its body. The nose is virtually non existent, more a sinus reiterative of the shape of the third eye. Set against the exposed teeth peering out of thick, meaty cheeks, a skeleton-like impression results. That impression sets behind a visceral set of lips and tongue, which is the creature’s prime seat of awareness. Sensual, organic, the tongue organ hangs, meaty, and with consciousness of a sea cucumber. It illuminates at the tip, drawing the attraction of a nearby moth–with mystery of purpose.
