Melania Trump launched NFTs to celebrate the Fourth of July, inspired by landmarks in the U.S.

She has dubbed it “The 1776 Collection,” which consists of six different digital NFTs. 

Some landmarks used are the Liberty Bell, the Statue of Liberty and Mount Rushmore, and each NFT comes with “a patriotic-themed music track.” They were designed to represent the, “foundations of American ideals,” and an Americana theme is recognized in all of them. 

Trump spoke about designing the NFTS and their inspiration. “The 1776 Collection of artwork draws inspiration from several iconic landmarks of our nation, which I had the privilege of visiting during the time I served as first lady,” she told Fox News. “Each piece provides a view into our nation’s history, culture and patriotism.”

She added, “I am proud to celebrate our great nation and remain inspired by the words contained within the Declaration of Independence.”

Each NFT costs $50. A part of the revenue will be donated to Fostering the Future, which is an initiative that assists in creating scholarships and educational opportunities for children currently in foster care. 

Trump aims to give kids who are aging out of the foster care system access to scholarships in computer science. In addition to this, she hopes on giving these children an academic foundation that will allow them to secure jobs that are technology-based, which will lead them to become independent workers in our society. 

Trump added that if her husband Donald Trump is reelected as President, she will focus on supporting children and their development as the first lady.

Observers have noted that Melania has not been seen at any of the ex president’s public events since he announced his 2024 presidential campaign.
