US President Donald Trump has unveiled plans for a new project that merges the cryptocurrency with the game, inspired by the monopoly as part of his growing portfolio of Trump brand digital projects.
According to Fortune, Trump’s upcoming game should follow a similar style to Monopoly Go!, A mobile reinventing traditional monopoly experience. Scheduled for the beginnings at the end of April, the release will mark the last in a series of initiatives focused on the crypto linked to Trump, which also include the NFT, a token of the same, a DEFI platform and a Bitcoin exploration operation linked to its sons.
In Monopoly Go!, Players earn money, sail in a digital board and build virtual buildings. Bill Zanker, a close associate of Trump who worked on his overtime of Crypto Ventures, would have developed the new game. A spokesperson confirmed the involvement of Zanker but denied that the project is inspired by Monopoly.
Sources, speaking on condition of anonymity due to the confidential nature of the discussions, revealed that Zanker contacted Hasbro in May 2024 to find out about the license of a Trump brand monopoly version.
Despite the concerns of criticism of any conflicts of interest, the Trump family continues to express strong confidence in the future of cryptocurrency. If the game is successfully launched, it could serve as a leading effort to integrate blockchain technology into interactive entertainment.
Critics argue that overlap between President Trump’s commercial interests and political influence could blur ethical lines, especially if the game operates the Trump brand to attract investors or users. With the political influence of Trump, any promotion of a cryptocurrency or a blockchain project could be considered as using its position to benefit personally, which raises questions about equity in commercial relations.
The monopoly of the game has long been associated with the world of real estate, where players buy, sell and manage properties to dominate the game board. This link with real estate is particularly relevant to President Trump, whose commercial empire has been built around real estate development, investments and luxury real estate.
In addition, the companies of President Trump, such as his real estate assets and his developments, reflect the fundamental objectives of the monopoly – securing privileged properties and generating wealth thanks to strategic movements and investments.
