According to news last night, Trump once again mentioned and supported the crypto industry in his latest interview with Bloomberg Businessweek. The presidential candidate, who is likely to win the US election in November, said that cryptocurrencies "are not going away, which is great." Trump said that the US crypto industry "has a good foundation. It's still a baby now. But I don't want other countries to take over this field."
In addition, Trump also announced a new plan in the interview: to release his fourth NFT series.
In the interview, Trump said his previous series was "incredibly successful" and sold out in one day: "It was all sold out: 45,000 cards. I've done it three times, and I'm going to do it again because people want me to do it again. The spirit is incredible. It's beautiful."
Trump previously revealed the idea of releasing a fourth NFT series at a party for his NFT holders at Mar-a-Lago in May, but did not commit at the time, saying: "I believe in supply and demand. As you know, the first one did very well, the second one did very well, and the third one did very well."
Since making his support for the crypto industry clear, Trump has become increasingly supported by the industry, ahead of current President Biden.
In May of this year, Trump's campaign team began accepting cryptocurrency donations. A report by The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday cited new data from the Federal Election Commission (FEC), finding that of the approximately $331 million raised by the Trump campaign team last quarter, about $3 million was in cryptocurrency. As Trump will attend and give a speech at the 2024 Bitcoin Conference in Nashville, Tennessee, USA from July 23 to 25 as originally planned, the Trump team expects to receive more donations from the crypto industry.

4) The 4th NFT series: ?
It is not clear when Trump's fourth NFT series will be released, but it is expected to become a hot project, and NFTs are destined to be hard to find. Judging from the previous release performance, except for the second NFT that broke the issue price, the other two have made several times the profit compared to the release price.
