Trump’s latest crypto venture will be a real estate video game.
President Donald Trump likes Monopoly. In 1989, the real estate mogul released Trump: The Game, a twist on the real-estate-themed board game. And in 2006, he explored launching a Monopoly-inspired reality TV show. “I’ve always thought Monopoly was an amazing game,” Trump told the New York Post in an interview about the program, which never got off the ground. Now, Trump’s latest venture will be a Trump-branded crypto game—one that has a Monopoly-like feel, according to two sources familiar with the project.
The upcoming real estate game would be the most recent addition to Trump and his family's growing list of crypto projects. World Liberty Financial, a stablecoin, and a Bitcoin mining company in which the President's sons Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. have a significant stake include NFT collections, memecoins, and decentralized finance ventures. One source familiar with the new Trump crypto game told Fortune it was a twist on Monopoly Go!, where players earn in-game cash through moving pieces around a digital Monopoly board to erect buildings in a digital city. A second, unconnected source familiar with the game also compared the project to Monopoly. Both individuals asked for anonymity to talk about private business dealings. #DonaldTrump #DonaldJTrump #DonaldTrumpCoin #NewsAboutCrypto #TrumpSupportsCrypto
