Ms Trump created her own NFT site on 16 December, after the introduction of her first product – a digital watercolour painting of her own eyes – and joined a growing list of celebrities selling their digital art and memorabilia. In the statement ushering the release, she said:
"I am thrilled to launch my new NFT endeavour, which encompasses my love for the arts and will help me continue my dedication to children via my Be Best program."
The NFT serves as an "amulet to encourage" collectors, according to her website. The NFT will cost one SOL (roughly $150 or £111) and will be powered by Parler, a right-wing social media site.
