Official Trump NFTs

Yep. Trump dropped his first NFT collection via Truth Social – the alternative social media platform he launched last year.

45 says the cards are "very much like a baseball card, but hopefully much more exciting." And that they "would make a great Christmas gift."

Man knows how to grift 😂

Always wanted to own an astronaut Trump? Now you can!

How about Trump riding an elephant? Jetpack Trump?

The former president also made a promo video for his official collection website. You should watch it – it's completely insane.

What you "need" to know:

  • There are 45,000 NFTs including a few 1/1s

  • Each card is $99 and has a 10% royalty resale fee

  • The cards are built on Polygon

  • KYC is required for purchasing

  • You can buy them using fiat, ETH, or WETH

Buying a Trump NFT enters you into a sweepstake for prizes including a round of golf, a Zoom call, a dinner party, and a one-on-one with the big guy. What a deal!

If you're interested, here's the official website.

Alpha Game ends

Wolf Game's Alpha Game has ended and a winner has been crowned.

Congratulations to Pack #12641 and its Alpha Wolf, @gmoneyNFT! They get 20% of the prize pool.

This mini-game saw the "alpha wolves", owners of the game's rarest NFT characters, lead packs of other players' staked wolves and sheep in a battle for $WOOL.

Packs fortified their defenses while attacking each other and earning points for assets staked.

The full launch of Wolf Game for all players is expected soon...

Here are the final Alpha Game stats:

  • Sheep staked: 10839

  • Wolves staked: 1610

  • Total attacks: 1623

  • WOOL staked 365.17m

  • WOOL supply: 564.99m

  • Total fortifications: 1258

Alpha Game assets are now unlocked, so if you joined a pack, you can claim your rewards.

SBF's letter to congress

Sam Bankman-Fried wrote a 7300-word testimony to Congress covering FTX's collapse from his perspective.

SBF was definitely one of those kids who always wrote five extra pages for their homework.

Now, that letter has leaked. So what does it say?

Mostly the same self-promo and questionable takes we've heard from Sam over the past few weeks – including his belief that FTX US is solvent and that his actions were stupid, not criminal.

@atareh has tweeted a summary of the letter, so you don't have to read it all:

Have a good one!
