Opinion: The issuance of TRUMP and MELANIA tokens before the inauguration may be to avoid constitutional risks

ChainCatcher news, encrypted media Coinage founder Zack Guzmán posted an analysis that the Trump family quickly launched TRUMP and MELANIA tokens before the inauguration, possibly to avoid constitutional risks.

According to the compensation clause of the U.S. Constitution, the president cannot receive profits from foreign governments. Trump has previously earned about $7.2 million from the NFT project, and his wife Melania has also made over $330,000 from NFT sales. Guzmán pointed out that issuing tokens before officially taking office could reduce the risk of being accused of violating the compensation clause.
