President Donald Trump is reportedly planning on launching a new crypto video game inspired by the popular board game Monopoly.
According to a new report by Fortune, an anonymous source familiar with the matter says that Trump is further venturing into the world of crypto assets by creating a game that is a twist on Monopoly Go!, a mobile version of the classic game.
Another source, who also wished to remain anonymous, confirmed the Monopoly comparison to Fortune. The sources also confirmed that Bill Zanker, who helped Trump launch his official memecoin and non-fungible tokens (NFTs), is backing Trump on this venture.
A spokesperson for Zanker told Fortune that any comparison to Monopoly is “hearsay” but did confirm that a game set to launch sometime in April was in the works.
One of the sources also says that Zanker has had plans to create a Trump-based game since May 2024 when he contracted Hasbro – the company that held the license for the Trump-branded version of Monopoly – to buy back the license for the game. However, Hasbro informed him that they no longer have the rights to that specific game.
Last year, Trump launched World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform, purportedly as a means of spreading the dominance of the US dollar and helping those disenfranchised by the banking system. In January, he launched his own memecoin, and in March, WLFI launched an “institutional-ready” stablecoin called USD1.
