DTTM Operations, the company handling U.S. President Donald Trump’s intellectual property rights, has filed a trademark application related to NFTs and the metaverse.
The application, submitted on February 24, includes digital and virtual technologies. It covers software for managing cryptocurrency transactions, smart contracts, and market analysis secured by NFTs.
It also mentions software for minting, collecting, and verifying NFTs, along with tools for authenticating digital images, videos, and certificates.
Additionally, the filing includes digital representations of clothing, footwear, eyewear, and accessories for use in virtual spaces. It also details an online marketplace for NFT-authenticated assets, as well as stores offering both virtual and physical goods, including collectibles, real estate, and branded merchandise.
This move could expand Trump’s involvement in Web3. His first NFT collection, launched in 2022, featured trading cards depicting him in various roles. The series continued with three more releases in 2023 and 2024, some including real-world perks for holders, such as a dinner event at Mar-a-Lago, his private estate.
In August 2024, a financial disclosure revealed that Trump holds up to $5 million in Ether and has earned over $7 million from NFTs. Earlier in January, Donald and Melania Trump introduced their own memecoins, “$TRUMP” and “$MELANIA,” which saw significant value increases after the presidential elections.
