Trump's latest crypto project will be a real estate video game

ChainCatcher news, according to Fortune, Trump's latest crypto project will be a real estate video game, as President Trump enjoys Monopoly. In 1989, the real estate mogul launched "Trump: The Game," a variant of a board game themed around real estate. In 2006, he considered launching a reality show inspired by Monopoly. "I've always thought Monopoly was a great game," Trump told the New York Post when discussing the show, but the program ultimately did not materialize. Now, Trump's latest project will be a crypto game branded with the Trump name—according to two insiders, this game has a Monopoly-like feel.

This planned real estate game will be the latest addition to Trump's and his family's growing list of crypto projects. In addition to an NFT series and a MEME coin, there is the decentralized finance project World Liberty Financial, a stablecoin, and a Bitcoin mining company, in which the president's son Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. hold significant stakes.

An insider familiar with Trump's new crypto game told Fortune that the game is an adaptation of "MONOPOLY GO!" where players earn in-game cash by moving pieces on a digital Monopoly board and building structures in a digital city. Another unrelated insider also compared the project to Monopoly. Both insiders requested anonymity due to the private nature of the business dealings.

Insiders revealed that Trump's longtime friend Bill Zanker is the driving force behind the project, having helped the president launch his meme coin and NFT projects.

Zanker's spokesperson Kevin Mercuri denied that the project is similar to "MONOPOLY GO!" but confirmed to Fortune that Zanker is developing a "game" set to launch at the end of April. He also stated that the Monopoly claims are "rumors."
