A new crypto game linked to Donald Trump’s circle is reportedly launching later this month, drawing inspiration from the classic board game Monopoly. The project is led by Bill Zanker, who previously partnered with Trump on his NFT collection and the TRUMP meme coin.
Details about the game remain limited, but reports suggest players will earn in-game cash, hinting at a potential crypto integration. Developers claim it won’t copy Monopoly GO!, though gameplay is said to closely resemble the original board game. There are also reports Zanker is attempting to acquire rights to Trump’s 1989 Monopoly-themed spinoff.
The crypto community has responded with skepticism, raising concerns over the lack of transparency and the potential for IP conflicts with Hasbro, which owns Monopoly. Critics online have labeled the game a “cash grab” and questioned its value proposition for retail users.
No official details have been released about the game’s crypto mechanics, token utility, or integration with existing Trump-related assets like the TRUMP coin.
