The Manhattan grand jury\u2019s indictment, which includes over 30 counts of business fraud, is related to an alleged hush money payment scheme involving adult film star Stormy Daniels, which dates back to the 2016 US presidential election.<\/p>\n<p>Thousands of tokenized cards depict Trump as anything masculine, including a Superman character, and the former president announced the NFT collection on social media in December 2022. The first badge was sold within hours of its launch, and after news of the indictment, sales increased by over 400% in a day, reaching a volume of more than 90 ETH on Thursday, equivalent to around $166,000 at the time of writing. The Opensea stats showed that prices have since returned to more average levels, but the number of owners has nearly reached 14,000.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\"> <strong>5BTC or 100% + 100 Free Spins!<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>New players only.

This resilience comes after the market\u2019s massive growth in 2021, when trading volumes surged to $31 billion, up from just $13.7 million in the previous year. The report attributes this growth to increased demand for virtual goods and digital assets, particularly in gaming and entertainment sectors, as well as rising interest from institutional investors.<\/p>\n<h2>Real World Events<\/h2>\n<p>The Trump NFT collection\u2019s sales surge shows how NFTs can capture attention and react to real-world events. Despite the weak performance of the market in March, the overall trend for NFTs seems to be growing, and it is interesting to see how digital assets are increasingly becoming a part of the mainstream culture.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\"> <strong><strong>Get 125% \/ $2,500 on 1st deposit!<\/strong><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>New players only.
