Monopoly Go passes $5B in gross bookings at a speed unseen in mobile gaming
Scopely announced today that Monopoly Go! has surpassed $5 billion in gross bookings, and that it has hit this target within 24 months — faster than any game in mobile gaming history. The company revealed the figure and thanked the players who have helped the title reach that goal, and gave a sneak preview of what's coming in the near future. Massimo Maietti, Scopely's president of gaming, said in a blog post, 'To provide context: over the past decade, more than 1.4 million mobile titles have launched globally. Among them, MONOPOLY GO! reached this financial milestone in just 24 months—significantly ahead of the previous benchmark of 40 months.' Monopoly Go! recently celebrated its 2-year anniversary, during which time it's hosted millions of players. The studio also noted that, in terms of numbers, players have made 500 million in-game connections and 450 million invites, and that 20 million players engage with the game's community channels on a regular basis. Maietti also gave a view on what's coming next for Monopoly Go!, including that the studio plans to implement new board designs and enhanced PvP mechanics, alongside a roadmap of tournaments and themed events. It's also planning to continue evolving the sticker system. Maietti said, 'As we enter our third year, our mission is unchanged: to continue delivering a best-in-class, deeply socially connected, and creatively engaging experience for our players.'

Trump reportedly to launch Monopoly-style crypto game
Trump's most recent endeavor will be a Trump-branded cryptocurrency game with a Monopoly-like feel, based on two sources familiar with the project. President Donald Trump is said to be creating a Monopoly-like game in cryptocurrency, representing the latest in a series of blockchain activities that the Trump family has engaged with, as per Fortune. According to two sources familiar with the initiative, the Trump-branded game will function like MONOPOLY GO!—players will be able to generate in-game cash by relocating digital pieces around a virtual city to gain in-game items to build buildings (a nod to the real estate developer model). The game is being developed by Bill Zanker, a long-time friend and client of Trump who previously helped launch Trump's NFT collections and memecoin. Zanker's representative, Kevin Mercuri, stated that a crypto-oriented game is in development to be launched at the end of April but denied any formal association with MONOPOLY GO! exists, dismissing any references to the board game as "hearsay." In 1989, he released Trump: The Game, a variation on the classic board game, and in 2006, he tried to do a Monopoly-inspired reality show. Reportedly, last year he tried to reacquire the rights to his old game, but Hasbro said no to Zanker's request for a license. The new crypto game joins a growing Trump ecosystem that contains NFTs and a memecoin, World Liberty Financial (a DeFi platform), a stablecoin, and even a Bitcoin mining operation through all of the Trumps, including Eric and Donald Jr., as the president is decidedly changing U.S. policy in favor of crypto. While there's been no suggestion of impropriety, disclaimers and trademark applications from DTTM Operations, the business managing all of Trump's intellectual property, hint that the family is getting more involved in digital assets.
