Why do I feel like the blockchain game Seraph, which I've been playing for two years, seems to be collaborating with Trump's WLFI for something big?
The following are all just wild guesses based on publicly available information:
1. Trump wants to create a Monopoly-style blockchain game because his main profession before becoming president was real estate, and developing a land-buying and selling blockchain game is just a perfect match.
2. The most well-known Monopoly game in Asia is the version from Taiwanese company Daewoo, which I believe many older Chinese people have played.
3. Taiwanese Daewoo is a wholly-owned subsidiary acquired by China Mobile Game.
In May 2018, China Mobile Game acquired 51% of Beijing Softstar, the domestic subsidiary of Taiwanese Daewoo; in August 2021, it acquired the remaining 49% of Beijing Softstar for 641.84 million HKD. In September 2024, China Mobile Game bought out the global intellectual property rights from Taiwanese Daewoo.
4. China Mobile Game is a subsidiary of Century Huatong Holdings, a publicly listed company on the A-share market.
Century Huatong's wholly-owned subsidiary, Changpei Shanghai, holds 44.67% of China Mobile Game's shares.
5. In 2019, Century Huatong fully acquired Shanda Games (yes, the game company of Chen Tianqiao), which was later renamed Shengqu Games.
6. In 2004, Shanda Games spent 90 million USD to acquire a controlling stake in the Korean listed game company Actoz, and later fully acquired Actoz (yes, Actoz is Cathy’s employer for 2023-2024).
7. Actoz once participated in incubating the Seraph blockchain game (they invested a small amount of seed funding).
8. The Seraph blockchain game airdropped 1 USD1 to all players on June 20, 2025; the third picture is one USD1 that I received. They should have been negotiating a partnership with the Trump family at that time.
9. In addition to discussing the cooperation on the USD1 stablecoin, Seraph is also likely to talk with WLFI about collaborating on the Monopoly blockchain game. Due to the joint financial backers with Taiwanese Daewoo, it would be easy for the Seraph team to integrate the original team of Daewoo's 'Monopoly'.
10. WLFI is building an ecosystem and needs dApps with a high penetration rate among Web3 users, especially to penetrate Asian users, because the culture of playing console games in Europe and America is lagging behind mobile games by many years, and it’s hard to predict how long it will take them to adapt to blockchain games.
11. WLFI will likely look for mature blockchain game teams with endorsements from big companies and successful experiences in issuing tokens when developing the Monopoly game.
Everything I've imagined above has no factual basis, so feel free for the Seraph blockchain game project team to throw stones at me.
