In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, former First Lady Melania Trump announced the release of "The 1776 Collection," a new series of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) commemorating American Independence Day. This collection, available for purchase starting June 29th through USA Memorabilia, features six digital collectibles inspired by iconic U.S. landmarks, including the Statue of Liberty, Mount Rushmore, and the Liberty Bell. Each NFT is priced at $50 and includes a patriotic musical accompaniment.

Designed to honor the "foundations of American ideals," each piece in the collection reflects a different aspect of American history, culture, and patriotism, according to Mrs. Trump. She expressed her pride in celebrating the nation and her continued inspiration by the Declaration of Independence.

These NFTs are minted on the Solana blockchain, an eco-friendly proof-of-stake protocol. A portion of the sales proceeds will benefit Fostering the Future, a Be Best initiative that supports educational opportunities and scholarships for children in foster care. This program focuses on providing computer science scholarships to help these young people achieve independence and contribute meaningfully to society.

Mrs. Trump reiterated her commitment to the foster community and her ongoing work to secure scholarships with the help of her team, partners, and the public. She also affirmed her support for former President Trump's 2024 campaign, expressing her hope to work alongside him to "restore hope for the future and lead America with love and strength."

Should she return to the role of First Lady, Mrs. Trump stated her intention to continue prioritizing children's well-being and development, ensuring they have the necessary resources to thrive. She believes her husband can lead the nation toward greatness and prosperity once again. Mrs. Trump's primary focus would remain on fostering a safe and supportive environment for children to learn and grow.
