Trump's Latest Investment in Cryptocurrency Project Will Be a Real Estate Crypto Game

According to Foresight News, as reported by Fortune magazine, two sources have revealed that Trump's latest investment is a cryptocurrency game under the Trump brand. This game will also offer an experience similar to the Monopoly game and is likely a variant of "Monopoly GO!" Players can earn game coins by moving pieces on a digital Monopoly board to build structures in a digital city. Another anonymous source familiar with the game also compared the project to Monopoly. Both sources requested anonymity.

Bill Zanker, a longtime friend of Trump who helped the president launch memecoin and NFTs, is the driving force behind this venture capital. Bill Zanker's spokesman, Kevin Mercuri, denied that the project is similar to "Monopoly GO! (MONOPOLY GO!)," but confirmed to Fortune that Zanker is developing a "game" slated to launch by the end of April. He also mentioned that the Monopoly claims are "hearsay." A spokesperson for Hasbro, the company behind the original Monopoly board game, stated that it has not licensed its intellectual property to Trump's cryptocurrency enterprise.

According to an informed source, Zanker originally planned to launch the project before the inauguration of the 47th president. In May 2024, Zanker contacted Hasbro seeking to repurchase the rights to Trump: The Game (the Trump-branded version of Monopoly). However, Hasbro told Zanker that it no longer owns the copyright for the game, which has been around for over 30 years.
