The trading volume of Trump Digital Trading Cards has surged over 177% amid the arrest of former President Donald Trump. Trump’s NFT trading volume rose to 37.93 ETH, marking a new high since May 4, 2023. The NFT’s floor price surged by 61%, reaching 0.19 ETH, according to data from OpenSea, the leading NFT marketplace.

Trump’s arrest marked a notable event in the history of politics in the United States. Last Thursday, he became the first former President of the United States to have his mugshot taken. Those following the campaigns believe the publicized mugshot will reverberate throughout the season of the coming presidential election.

The mugshot showed the former President staring intensely into the camera while wearing a dark suit and a furrowed brow. According to reports, the photo became public shortly after Trump was booked at an Atlanta jail on charges of attempted overturning of the results of the 2020 election in Georgia.

Trump was released on bail after paying $200,000 while he awaits trial. Following his release, the former President described the arrest as a “travesty of justice.” He later posted on X (Twitter) for the first time since 2021. His post contained the address of his website and the mugshot with the caption “Election interference. Never surrender!”

Trump appeared on Tucker Carlson’s X-based interview show in a GOP debate, with the show garnering over 150 million views in less than 24 hours. The former President considers the high impressions received by the interview as a sign of his popularity. According to him, he is already ahead of the other candidates, with over 50 points as the most popular candidate in the race for the presidency.

Apart from owning an NFT collection, Trump is reported to hold a significant amount of ETH despite having been a cryptocurrency critic in the past.
