Former U.S. President Donald Trump is reportedly expanding his cryptocurrency ventures with the development of a Monopoly-style digital real estate game.
The project, expected to launch in late April, will integrate gaming and blockchain elements, according to sources cited by Fortune.
The game, described as resembling MONOPOLY GO!, will allow players to navigate a virtual board and earn digital currency by constructing buildings in a simulated city.
Bill Zanker, a long-time Trump associate who previously helped launch Trump’s memecoin and NFT collections, is said to be leading the project.
While Zanker has denied direct similarities to Monopoly, he confirmed that a crypto-focused game is under development.
This initiative is part of Trump’s broader push into the digital asset space.
His ventures include the Official Trump memecoin, which currently holds a market capitalisation of $1.5 billion, multiple NFT collections, and the decentralised finance platform World Liberty Financial (CRYPTO:WLFI).
In February 2025, Trump’s DTTM Operations also filed trademarks for a metaverse and NFT marketplace offering both physical and virtual goods.
Trump’s shift toward cryptocurrency marks a notable change in his stance.
In 2021, he dismissed Bitcoin as “a scam against the dollar.”
However, during his 2024 presidential campaign, he embraced Web3 technologies and signed an executive order to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve for the United States.
Despite these developments, the Web3 gaming sector faces challenges.
According to an April 10 report by DappRadar, daily active users in Web3 games declined by 6% in the first quarter of 2025, while investments in the sector dropped 71% quarter-over-quarter to $91 million.
Macroeconomic factors such as trade wars and geopolitical tensions have contributed to this downturn, with investor sentiment remaining cautious.
