Donald Trump has hinted at a fourth NFT collection, stressing the importance of U.S. leadership in the crypto market to counter China's progress.

Trump’s Hint at a New NFT Collection

The former president of the United States, Donald Trump, has come clean about his plans to introduce a fourth set of non-fungible tokens. In the middle of a lengthy interview on Tuesday, he emphasized once again how critical it is for the US to take the lead in the bitcoin industry.

As Trump stated in a July 16 interview with Bloomberg, “I’m going to do another one because the people want me to do another one."

'Mugshot' NFT Collection: A Record Sell-Out

“We had one year to sell it out and it sold out in one day,” he commented. A theme that ran through his most recent NFT collection, "MugShot," was his continuing criminal indictments.

Almost all of it was paid for using this new cryptocurrency, in my opinion. That experience "opened my eyes," Trump continued, outlining his desire to position America as a global leader in the Bitcoin market, Cointelegraph shares.

Trump’s Crypto Concerns: Avoiding China’s Lead

“It’s a baby. It’s an infant right now. But I don't want to be responsible for allowing another country to take over this sphere," Trump added, asserting that China will become the industry leader if he chooses to overlook the matter, stating that the nation is "pretty advanced in that sphere."

He noted the shift in attitude toward Bitcoin by more conventional bank CEOs like JP Morgan over the years.

Shifting Views on Bitcoin Among Financial Leaders

"Jamie Dimon was, you know, very negative and now all of a sudden he’s changed his tune a little bit," Trump added, referring to the months following Dimon's public assault on cryptocurrencies during a December 2023 hearing before the Senate Banking Committee.

Dimon joked that he would shut it down if he were the government at the moment.

The comments made by Trump came just a few days after an attempt was made to kill him as he was holding a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where he was speaking on stage.
