President Donald Trump should deploy a crypto game that allows players to build virtual properties and win money in the game, Fortune reported on Tuesday, and yes, he is inspired by Monopoly, the emblematic board game.
Sources knowing the plan said Bill Zanker, Trump’s longtime boyfriend who helped launch his NFT collections and the official room of the same Trump, develops it.
According to two sources that spoke in Fortune, the coming game gives a monopoly atmosphere with a game mechanism upon receipt. Kevin Mercuri, spokesperson for Zanker, denied these monopoly talks, although he said that a game fell this month.
Hasbro, who owns Monopoly, confirmed that she had not authorized her intellectual property to any organization affiliated with Trump for a cryptographic company. The board games company has acquired Monopoly rights thanks to its purchase from Parker Brothers.
In May 2024, Zanker tried to acquire the license for “Trump: The Game”, a version of Trump from Monopoly from 1989, but was informed that the rights were no longer available, according to the report.
Trump ventures further into the crypto
President Trump has long had a penchant for monopoly. In an earlier interview, his mother, Mary Trump, recalled that Monopoly was one of her favorite childhood games, alongside Block Building.
This link with the monopoly finally influenced its own business. In 1989, Trump released Trump: the game. The board game is directly shaped after a monopoly and inspired by his career and his successful book The Art of the Deal.
The disclosed information occurred after the Trump organization filed a brand request from the American Patent and Brands Bureau for a digital ecosystem in the Metaverse and NFT space at the end of February.
The ecosystem includes virtual clothes from the Trump brand and restaurant simulations on Trump’s theme, alongside the NFT verified content.
The deposit is part of the wider efforts to establish a presence in digital assets and expand their crypto initiatives, signaling a potential future deployment of these virtual services.
The game, once confirmed, would add to the growing portfolio of Trump’s cryptography, which includes the NFT collections and the launch of the same.
Trump’s family has also plunged toes into other areas of cryptographic industry, World Liberty Financial, The Defi Venture, in American Bitcoin, the mining initiative.
World Liberty Financial will soon launch a stablecoin and later venture into the active sector of the real world.
