The collection of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) inspired by President-elect Donald Trump has launched its first 160 items, known as the 'Trump Bitcoin Digital Trading Cards,' on Bitcoin using the Ordinals protocol. Users who obtained the 100 NFT cards from the 'Mugshot Edition' and provided their Bitcoin wallets can claim them through the NFT marketplace Magic Eden. Currently, 19 out of 119 available Ordinals have been minted, with the claim period ending on Jan. 31. Ordinals uniquely create assets on the Bitcoin blockchain by embedding data onto individual satoshis. The Trump Bitcoin Digital Trading Cards utilize 'Alpha sats,' the initial satoshis of a Bitcoin block. Despite a slowdown in the Ordinals market in late May 2024, recent data shows a resurgence in activity, with monthly average Ordinals inscriptions ranging from 54,000 to 92,000. Trump has a history of NFT collections, including the 'Trump Digital Trading Cards' series, with the latest 'America First' edition offering various benefits. The NFT market for Trump-themed items has seen significant sales growth in recent months.
