The integration of TRUMP tokens as a payment method adds more functionality to the coin, which launched on January 17 and has quickly climbed into the top thirty cryptocurrencies, boasting a market cap over $5.5 billion as of Thursday.
Several online marketplaces offering official Donald Trump-branded merchandise, such as GetTrumpWatches.com, GetTrumpFragrances.com, and GetTrumpSneakers.com, have now started accepting the TRUMP memecoin in addition to credit card payments and Bitcoin (BTC).
These transactions will be processed through Solana Pay, a decentralized payment system that facilitates direct payments from users to merchants without the need for intermediaries. Notably, the watches sold through GetTrumpWatches.com are made-to-order and expected to ship starting in October. Although the merchandise is not directly sold by Donald Trump, it is available through a licensed agreement with CIC Digital LLC, one of the companies involved in the issuance of the TRUMP token.
This move is part of a broader effort to increase the utility of the TRUMP token and further integrate cryptocurrency into everyday commerce, an area where many volatile tokens have struggled to make significant inroads.
