A blockchain sleuth has delved into the crypto wallets of the recently launched Donald Trump NFT collection. There may have been some pre-minting of his NFTs before they were actually launched.
Former U.S. President Donald Trump launched his own NFT collection on Dec. 15. Within a few hours, the collection of Trump Digital Trading Cards had sold out. The OpenSea NFT marketplace already has some of these listed at wildly inflated prices.
However, not all may be as clear as it seems, according to one NFT analyst.
On Dec. 17, on-chain analyst and NFT auditor ‘NFTherder’ told his 42,000 followers that Donald Trump minted a thousand of his own NFTs to his vault wallet.
“Keeping a giant portion of the most rare NFTs in his collection for himself,” he added.
