Just When You Thought Crypto Couldn't Get Any More Surreal

Just when you thought crypto couldn't get any more surreal, Donald Trump reportedly works on a blockchain-based game that resembles Monopoly

Just when you thought crypto couldn’t get any more surreal, Donald Trump is reportedly working on a blockchain-based game that resembles Monopoly, only with NFTs, memecoins, and digital real estate.

The project, which is said to launch later this month, is being built by Trump’s longtime business associate Bill Zanker, who’s also known for helping to launch the $TRUMP token and Trump’s NFT collections. This time, they’re tapping into the popularity of mobile games like MONOPOLY GO!, except the rewards might be crypto instead of fake cash.

The game’s full details are still under wraps, but early reports suggest players will earn in-game currency (not to be confused with U.S. dollars) by buying and building digital properties. Think of it as a political-meets-crypto twist on the classic board game vibe.

According to Fortune, Zanker attempted to secure the rights to use the Monopoly name from Hasbro for the project in 2024, but his request was reportedly denied. A spokesperson for Zanker has stated that the game is not based on Monopoly and any comparisons are “hearsay.”

The Growing Trump Crypto Ecosystem

This wouldn’t be the first Web3 project launched by Trump or his family. Since returning to U.S. politics, he’s become a major figure in the memecoin and NFT scene, with several projects tied to his brand.

Earlier this year, the $TRUMP token reached a $14 billion market cap following its launch, although the price has since crashed amid volatility and skepticism towards the token’s true value. The token’s distribution also raised eyebrows, with a significant portion reportedly remaining in wallets controlled by Trump-aligned entities.
