After launching his NFT cards, the World Liberty Financial crypto DeFi platform, the USD1 stablecoin, and the $TRUMP meme coin, president Trump is now reportedly preparing to launch a crypto game that is similar to the iconic MONOPOLY GO!

To wit, Fortune is now reporting that Trump is about to remove the proverbial wraps from his latest venture: a Monopoly-like crypto game where players can earn in-game cash by moving and erecting properties in a digital city.

The venture is reportedly being spearheaded by Bill Zanker, a longtime Trump associate. Zanker has confirmed that he is developing a game that will launch later in April, but denied his initiative's purported similarity to MONOPOLY GO!

As stated earlier, this venture would merely be the latest in a long series of commercial ventures that Trump and his family members have launched recently. For instance, the Trump family receives hefty fees from the sale of the $WLFI token, which is the governance token of the World Liberty Financial DeFi platform. Moreover, the launch of the $TRUMP meme coin just ahead of his inauguration briefly swelled the president's net worth to around $70 billion.

Recently, Trump Media and Technology Group, where Trump holds the majority stake albeit encapsulated within a trust, partnered with Crypto.com to offer a variety of crypto-related ETFs under the Truth.Fi brand, in conjunction with Yorkville advisors.

The CEO of Crypto.com recently noted that the envisaged ETFs will include one that comprises "the first of its kind basket of tokens including CRO." These crypto-focused ETFs are expected to launch later this year following regulatory approval, and will also be widely available internationally.

In November, the Financial Times reported that Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) was in advanced talks to acquire Bakkt, a dedicated crypto exchange owned by Intercontinental Exchange.

More recently, Trump Media's board approved the creation of a "strategic acquisition fund with select investors," setting off a wave of speculation in relation to the possible acquisition of Bakkt.
