Trump-Themed $TRUMP Token Now Accepted for Official Merchandise Purchases
The TrumpMeme team has announced that its $TRUMP meme token can now be used to purchase official Donald Trump-branded merchandise, including perfumes, sneakers, and watches. This move further blurs the lines between cryptocurrency, political branding, and e-commerce.
Key Details:
Supported Items: High-profile products like "Victory47" perfume ($99), "Never Surrender" sneakers ($399), and limited-edition gold watches are now payable with $TRUMP.
Payment Integration: Transactions are processed via a crypto-friendly Shopify plugin, with instant conversion to stablecoins to mitigate volatility risks.
Political Crypto Trend: This follows similar moves by pro-crypto politicians (e.g., Kennedy's Bitcoin pledge), highlighting 2024 as an election year where digital assets become a partisan battleground.
Market Implications:
The partnership could boost $TRUMP's utility demand, though skeptics view it as a publicity stunt given the token's -65% drop from its Jan 2024 peak.
It tests crypto's role in political fundraising, potentially inspiring other campaigns to tokenize supporter engagement.
