Melania Trump plans to expand Web3 venture for foster care kids

Source Cryptopolitan

In a recent interview, Former U.S. First Lady Melania Trump has revealed her ambitious plans to expand her Web3 venture aimed to support needy children. This initiative, which combines technology and philanthropy, seeks to harness the potential of blockchain and decentralized platforms to improve the lives of children in the foster care system.

The former first lady elaborated that if she were to return to the White House, she would not only expand her platform but also hire more staff to enhance its capabilities. She noted that she has embarked on several projects since she left the statehouse over three years ago. She stated:

So after I left the White House in 2021, I established my two platforms, Web2 and Web3, blockchain platforms that I create art and collectibles, and all it’s available on those two platforms, MelaniaTrump.com and USAMemorabilia.com. So, if we are back in the White House, I will expand that and add more staff.

Melania Trump empowers foster care youth by combining art and technology

Melania’s initial foray into the crypto landscape started in 2021 with the launch of “Melania’s Vision” NFT, which she said embodied her passion for the arts and would support her ongoing commitment to children through the “Be Best” initiative.

The main aim of this Web3 project is to offer financial aid to adults who are leaving the foster care system. Part of the revenue generated from selling NFTs will be allocated to providing these individuals with crucial training in computer science and software development to assist them in transitioning into adulthood. 

The former First Lady said she had “more ideas,” and she reaffirmed that the Web3 platform would continue to provide financial support for children from the foster care community.

Melania Trump is driving a growing trend in digital ownership by incorporating NFTs

NFTs are growing in popularity, and more people are learning about their potential. They allow you to own digital art or collectibles that no one else can claim. It’s like owning a rare trading card or a special edition toy. Melania’s choice to include NFTs in foster cases shows she’s paying attention to the latest trends.

Unlike traditional digital files, which can be endlessly copied and shared, NFTs are distinguished by their uniqueness and scarcity, encoded and verified on a blockchain. The value of NFTs goes beyond the digital item itself; it’s about the verifiable ownership of the piece. This concept can be likened to physical art: while many can replicate or photograph the Mona Lisa, only the original holds true value.

Still, NFTs saw around 115,000 ETH in trading volume on exchanges last month. This is the lowest monthly volume since January 2021.

Dollar presses 102 as the 10-year yield sits at 5.14% — and October hike odds are only 17%The dollar index closed at 101.99 (+0.20%) on Monday after briefly topping 102.07, while the 10-year Treasury yield rose to 5.14% and the 2-year hit 4.774% — yet futures price only about a 17% chance of a hike at the October 27-28 FOMC, versus roughly 90% for December. The driver is a global bond selloff, not a Fed repricing: France's 10-year OAT jumped to 4.84% ~ 4.94% and the OAT-Bund spread widened to 140 ~ 146bp. Here are the levels, the cross-asset read-through and what to watch.

Meta's AI bill just hit $145 billion — and it issued a new share class to pay for itMeta reported record third-quarter revenue of $64.60 billion, up 26% from a year earlier, and raised full-year 2026 capital expenditure guidance to $135-145 billion from $130-145 billion. To fund that build-out without touching Mark Zuckerberg's voting control, the company announced a 2-for-1 stock split that hands every Class A holder a new non-voting Class C share. Here are the four lines that matter, the peer group that is being re-rated alongside it, and the bull and bear cases.
