Donald Trump may soon step into crypto gaming with a project that draws clear comparisons to Monopoly Go!, according to a new report from Fortune. Multiple anonymous sources say the former president is working on a blockchain-based game, signaling a continued interest in crypto after earlier ventures into memecoins, NFTs, and stablecoins.
Good to know
Two sources told Fortune the game will resemble Monopoly in style and mechanics. The idea is to create a digital twist on the familiar board game format, but powered by crypto features. However, a spokesperson for Trump associate Bill Zanker, who’s backing the project, said the Monopoly comparison is just “hearsay.” That same spokesperson confirmed a crypto game is in development and could launch sometime in April.
Zanker has long supported Trump’s crypto ambitions. He previously helped with the launch of the Trump official NFT collections and played a key role in bringing his memecoin to life. According to one source, Zanker began pursuing a Trump-themed game in May 2024 by reaching out to Hasbro to reacquire the license for a Trump-branded Monopoly game. Hasbro reportedly told him they no longer held those rights.
Trump’s interest in crypto gaming comes after several other crypto moves. In 2023, he introduced World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a DeFi platform pitched as an alternative to traditional banking. WLFI went on to launch USD1, a stablecoin meant to promote the U.S. dollar in digital finance. Then, in early 2024, Trump introduced his own memecoin as part of his broader crypto portfolio.
So far, few official details about the new game have been shared. But the team behind it seems eager to tie in Trump’s growing blockchain presence with something that mixes entertainment, digital assets, and political branding.
