Former U.S. President Donald Trumpā€™s officialNFTtrading cards werethe talk of the crypto industryā€”not to mention much of Twitter andeven late night TVā€”when they launched a couple of weeks ago, but the hype has since faded significantly.

Secondary market sales for the Trump Digital Trading Cards, which are minted on Ethereum scaling network Polygon, tallied just over $59,300 in total on Wednesday, per data from CryptoSlam. Thatā€™s a 98% drop from the peak sales day of over $3.5 million on December 17ā€”and continues the steady slide in momentum and value for the NFTs.

Trump's collection is hardly dead, however. As of this writing, the former president's NFTs are the 69th best-selling project over the past 24 hours, according to CryptoSlam, with just over $44,000 in sales during that span. By contrast, top project the Bored Ape Yacht Club has notched over $2 million in sales over the past day.

The secondary market premium on Trump NFTs is fading quickly, too. The NFTs originally sold for $99 apiece during the primary sale, and amid the hype around the project in the days after the initial mint, even an NFT with ā€œcommonā€ artwork and traits commanded a sizable multiple of that.The floor price, or price of the cheapest listed Trump NFT on a marketplace, peaked at 0.84 ETH (about $990) on December 17.

Now, however, the floor price on top marketplace OpenSea is just 0.15 ETH, or about $180. Some of the NFTs have sold for as low as $131 apiece on the marketplace today.

Trumpā€™s NFTs launched on December 15, with 44,000 of the Polygon NFTs offered to the public depicting the disgraced ex-president as a cowboy, astronaut, and more. Another 1,000 of the NFTs were kept by the projectā€™s creators. Each $99 collectible served as a contest entry to win prizes and perks, such as dinner or a meet-and-greet with Trump.

The NFTs werewidely mocked as a cash grab, and even criticized by some of Trumpā€™s own supporters. Some of the artwork elements wereapparently stolen from online apparel imagery, plus Trumpā€™s team is alleged to have held onto a disproportionate amount of the rare NFTs in the collection. Some initial buyers complained of technical hitches, too.

Still, the buzz fueled secondary market demand for a few days thereafter, assome NFT ā€œdegenā€ traderssaw an opportunity to profit from flipping the controversial assets. But the hype has been short-lived, with prices and trading volumecrashing just days after the launch. And as sales data shows, the market isnā€™t getting any hungrier for Trumpā€™s digital cards.

Trump, who waspreviously opposed to cryptocurrencies, said in a recent interview that the NFT artwork was ā€œsort of cute,ā€ and that he ā€œdidnā€™t view it as an investment.ā€

Trumpā€™s initial NFT sale raked in over $4 million and sold out within 24 hours. All told, the project has generated about $9.8 million to date in secondary trading volume, with Trumpā€™s team taking a 10% cut of sales made through marketplaces thathonor creator royalties.

The Investor's Dream
The second "Visual Toy" about cryptocurrency and its universe that continues the exclusive collection on this theme. After the first Visual Toy, dedicated to the cryptocurrency itself, this visual toy is the other side of the coin. It represents, as its title tells us, the investor's dream, the current person and his financial hopes. A surreal fantasy of the dreams and longings of every investor, in this case the crypto investor. In this magical, happy and colorful dream, aspirations of all kinds intermingle, both the desire for great benefits, represented in a long animation that shows us a production cycle or series production that ranges from the gastronomic recipe of a two-ingredient cake. Bitcoin slice and Ethereum smoothie, passing through magic, represented in a fairy that transforms the cake into real money, which is sucked into a giant capsule to accumulate it and multiply it. The rest is full of investor aspirations, which appear in their dreams in the form of profits or screens that announce that values are rising steadily, as well as physical possessions, such as the sailboat, the helicopter, homes and other objects or possibilities. A dream full of happiness, fun and hope.
