Key Takeaways
A Trump-branded crypto mobile game, Trump Billionaires Club, is set to launch on Dec. 30.
Bill Zanker, tied to previous Trump crypto ventures, is backing the game.
Despite the upcoming game integration, long-term recovery for Trump Coin remains uncertain.
A Trump-themed crypto video game backed by entrepreneur Bill Zanker, a member of the team behind Donald Trump’s official memecoin, is nearing release on Apple’s App Store.
The video game, while not directly distributed by one of Trump’s companies, arrives at a time when Trump-linked crypto ventures are under scrutiny from government officials who believe potential conflicts of interest may exist.
It also launches as Trump’s official memecoin continues a rapid decline, losing nearly all of the initial momentum sparked by Trump’s inauguration in January.

Zanker, who has been involved in previous Trump-branded blockchain projects, was reported earlier this year to be developing a game that shared similarities with MONOPOLY GO.
However, Hasbro, the company that owns the rights to Monopoly, stated it had not licensed the game to any Trump-affiliated crypto venture.
Zanker’s spokesperson, Kevin Mercuri, confirmed that a game was in development but denied any direct similarity to Monopoly.
Trump’s Memecoin Link
The integration of the game with Trump Coin represents an effort to revive the token’s visibility after months of steep decline.
Trump-branded crypto assets, including the coin and a series of controversial NFT launches, have fallen into near-irrelevance, with trading volumes now minimal.
Zanker’s Trump-linked memecoin rose to an all-time high of more than $73 the day after its debut but has since fallen by over 90%, trading at just $5.82 at the time of reporting.
Although the developers have not disclosed how gameplay will translate into token utility, blockchain-linked mobile games often rely on in-game economies to drive engagement.
Crypto Games Yet to Find a Breakout Hit
The launch comes as crypto-integrated video games continue to struggle in mainstream app markets.
Despite high-profile attempts during the 2021–2022 play-to-earn boom, most blockchain games have failed to retain players amid volatile token economics and skepticism from traditional gamers.
Only a handful of titles have achieved sustained engagement; many others, promising token rewards, have collapsed after failing to build stable in-game ecosystems.
However, with Trump’s likeness featured in the upcoming title, the game could attract both traditional players and non-gamers.
Can a Mobile Game Revive Trump’s Turbulent Memecoin?
Whether the game’s release can significantly boost Trump Coin remains uncertain — and some believe it is unlikely.
Since the token’s launch in January, search interest for “Trump memecoin” has remained almost completely flat.
While a branded mobile game could bring new attention, especially from Trump supporters, long-term success will require strong token economics capable of sustaining that interest.
Over the past 24 hours, the memecoin has seen a slight price increase of nearly 3%, though it remains far below its previous all-time high.
Looking ahead, the Dec. 30 debut will serve as a key test of whether Trump-aligned digital assets can regain momentum — or whether the game becomes another entry in the long list of crypto projects that fail to launch.
