NFT News featuring Trump’s Series 2 NFT collection, Zuckerberg’s Meta, Smorfs, and Nike Shoes. Let’s check them out.
Trump releases his Series 2 NFT collection before his presidential campaign.
Donald Trump’s face appears on yet another set of digital nonfungible tokens (NFTs) trading cards, with 38,001 being produced on Polygon.
According to statistics from NFT marketplace OpenSea, the collection, which went on sale for $99 apiece on April 18, presently has a floor price of 0.0659 ETH ($145) and has generated a volume of 592 Ether, or more than $1.2 million.
The first subscription provided an extra $3.76 million in income based on a sale price of $99, while the sales have generated over $100,000 based on the creator fee of 10%. Trump wrote on Instagram that he maintained the initial pricing “because I want my fans & supporters to make money, & have fun doing it,” adding:
“I could have raised the price MUCH HIGHER, I believe it still would have sold well, with a lot more money coming to me, but I didn’t choose to do so. I WILL BE GIVEN NO ‘NICE GUY’ CREDIT?”
According to OpenSea, the first series, which debuted on December 15, has experienced a 61% decline in floor price over the past day despite a 1,011% rise in trading volume.
To attract more users, Meta makes Horizon Worlds available to teenagers.
The virtual reality (VR) software Horizon Worlds was previously only available to those 18 and older. Still, Big Tech company Meta opened it up to teens from the United States and Canada on April 18.
According to the data website Statista, Horizon Worlds recorded an average of 280,000 monthly active users over the year, well below the 500,000 intended. This led to the decision. Several safety and advocacy organizations have encouraged Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, to drop plans to allow children access to their metaverse.
In an open letter published on April 14, it was suggested that Meta hold off on granting minors access to the Metaverse until further peer-reviewed studies had been conducted.
The letter asserted that the VR software, which is still in its early phases, may subject adolescents to harassment and privacy concerns. The focus of Meta’s introduction, which was mainly on features like parental monitoring tools and restricting contact between minors and unfamiliar adults, seemed to be on addressing these issues.

Meta’s Horizon Worlds isn’t safe for kids, and @Fairplayforkids has the receipts. Children’s wellbeing should be a priority, not an afterthought, and Meta can’t even manage that on existing platforms. https://t.co/WhAEnBRo0M
