A new Trump-branded mobile game, "Trump Billionaires Club," is set to launch on December 30, 2025. The board-style game, developed by Freedom 45 Games with a license to use Trump's branding, will allow players to buy virtual properties, trade NFTs, and use the TRUMP memecoin for in-app transactions. A $1 million pool of TRUMP tokens is allocated for early players and leaderboard winners to drive engagement. This initiative aims to provide utility to the TRUMP token, which has seen an 87% decline from its peak. Critics caution that such promotions may only offer short-term attention without ensuring lasting value or fair returns for participants.

US President Donald Trump’s name is back in the headlines this week as a Trump-branded mobile game tied to the TRUMP memecoin prepares to go live at the end of the month.

The title, called Trump Billionaires Club, is being marketed as a board-style mobile game that will let players buy virtual properties, trade NFT collectibles and use the TRUMP token inside the app.

Launch Set For December 30 On App Stores

According to the game’s public pages and several crypto outlets, the developer expects an App Store release on December 30, 2025, with pre-registration already open for players who want early access.

Reports have disclosed that the project is led by Bill Zanker and built by a studio using the name Freedom 45 Games, with licensing that allows use of Trump’s branding while noting the product is not created or distributed by his businesses.

A $1M Token Pool To Draw Players

The launch campaign will include a $1 million pool of $TRUMP tokens set aside for early players and leaderboard winners as part of pre-launch promotions and airdrops.

The game’s marketing highlights play-to-earn style rewards and tradable NFT items such as statues and pins, which are billed as in-game collectibles that can be bought and sold.

Crypto Connection: Game Tied Directly To TRUMP Coin

The title is explicitly linked to the TRUMP Coin ecosystem: users will be able to fund accounts with cash, crypto, or the TRUMP token, and in-game transactions are expected to use that token as currency.

That integration is part of an effort by promoters to give the memecoin “utility” beyond simple trading. Some early demos show a digital New York board where players roll dice, build and trade, while token balances move behind the scenes.

Token’s Sharp Drop Raises Questions

Reports have also pointed out that the TRUMP token has shed much of its market value since launch, with coverage noting an about 87% decline from peak levels — a collapse that adds urgency to promoters’ push to revive interest via gaming.

Observers and some crypto market analysts warn that giveaways and gimmicks can boost short-term attention but do not guarantee lasting demand or fair returns for buyers.

Dialogue with Epoch Ventures Founder: Large-Scale Capital Rotation Has Begun, the Four-Year Cycle Has Ended

Epoch Ventures founder Eric Yakes discusses why Bitcoin's traditional four-year boom-bust cycle may be ending. He argues that Bitcoin, with recent drawdowns limited to around 50% instead of 80%, is transitioning from a high-risk asset to a hedge against currency debasement due to institutional inflows and lower volatility. This shift allows for higher portfolio allocations and disconnects Bitcoin from general risk assets. Yakes outlines Bitcoin's path to global adoption through three monetary functions: store of value, medium of exchange, and unit of account. He believes Bitcoin is currently in the store-of-value phase. A massive capital rotation from gold into Bitcoin is imminent once Bitcoin achieves deeper liquidity, potentially seeing prices rise tenfold. A key mechanism for this transition involves stablecoins. Yakes posits that the U.S. Treasury, facing a debt spiral, will promote stablecoin adoption to create demand for U.S. Treasuries. As stablecoins grow, they will increasingly hold Bitcoin in their reserves to differentiate themselves, leading to a "Bitcoinization" of stablecoins. This sets the stage for "hyperbitcoinization" as fiat currencies become obsolete. Addressing concerns about centralization from ETFs and custodians, Yakes argues Bitcoin's easy self-custody creates a powerful exit threat that deters malicious control. Wealth concentration among early holders is seen as a natural, temporary phase in an emerging economy. Finally, Yakes explains his firm's investment focus: building Bitcoin-compatible financial infrastructure, particularly Bitcoin-backed lending, to bridge traditional finance with the Bitcoin ecosystem.

What to Expect from Bitcoin (BTC) and Dogecoin (DOGE) Prices in the Coming Days?

Crypto analyst Ali Martinez provided a technical outlook for Bitcoin (BTC) and Dogecoin (DOGE), identifying critical price levels for investors to watch. For Bitcoin, Martinez highlighted the $73,880 level as a decisive threshold to maintain the bullish scenario. Sustaining above this level could set the next key MVRV price band target at $100,000. He noted similarities between Bitcoin's current price structure and movements following the 2022 bear market low, suggesting a potential pattern where Bitcoin tests a peak near $83,000 (expected around May 2026) and then experiences a correction, which could present a major buying opportunity. Regarding Dogecoin, Martinez observed a potential bull flag forming on the hourly chart. He stated that within this pattern, the price might first retest a key support level at $0.081. The critical level for upward momentum is $0.090. A confirmed technical breakout, indicated by an hourly candle closing above $0.090, could propel the price toward $0.115. *This is not investment advice.

Despite Recent Bitcoin Rise, One Analyst Remains Cautious: 'I Haven't Seen What I Wanted Yet'

Despite Bitcoin's recent rally reigniting bullish sentiment, Alphractal founder Joao Wedson advises caution based on blockchain data analysis. He highlights the MVRV Z-Score indicator, used to measure investor behavior and market value cycles, suggesting Bitcoin's cycle low may not be in yet. Drawing parallels to the 2017-2018 cycle, Wedson notes that after its 2017 peak, Bitcoin experienced another sharp drop in November 2018. Similarly, in the current 2024-2025 period, the MVRV Z-Score has formed three peaks but has recently risen again alongside price. The key risk, according to Wedson, is that the indicator has not yet entered negative territory, historically associated with major cycle bottoms. He states that purely from on-chain data, there isn't enough evidence to confirm the recent low as the final bottom. If historical patterns repeat, Bitcoin could potentially fall to at least $53,000 or lower. Wedson clarifies this is data analysis, not financial advice, and emphasizes that on-chain metrics currently indicate downside risks remain, rather than conclusively signaling a market bottom.

Anthropic Eyes 'Training Chips'? Reportedly Considered Acquiring AI Chip Company MatX for $7 Billion

AI giant Anthropic reportedly discussed acquiring AI chip startup MatX for approximately $7 billion to accelerate its in-house chip development, specifically targeting "training chips" for large language models. This move follows OpenAI's recent unveiling of its own inference chip, "Jalapeño," highlighting a growing trend of major AI companies vertically integrating into hardware. However, the MatX deal was ultimately abandoned, with talks shifting toward potential collaboration instead. Anthropic's interest in MatX, a company founded in 2023 by former Google TPU engineers, underscores its strategic push to secure faster and more cost-efficient computing power for its Claude model. The company's broader chip ambitions are further evidenced by its recruitment of key industry veterans, including former Google TPU leader Amir Salek and ex-OpenAI chip engineer Clive Chan, to build an internal chip team. Anthropic is also actively meeting with several other AI chip startups to evaluate different architectures. Despite this significant investment in chip design capabilities, Anthropic reportedly plans to maintain a multi-vendor strategy, continuing its partnerships with major suppliers like Nvidia and Google. Developing advanced chips remains a costly and time-intensive endeavor, making the acquisition of an established startup like MatX an attractive, though currently unrealized, shortcut to gain expertise and potentially reduce long-term costs.

Fed Chair Warsch 'Hawkish', Goldman Still Not Buying a 'September Hike', JPMorgan Says 'Still Have to See August Jobs and CPI'

Fed Chair Kevin Warsh struck a more hawkish tone in his Jackson Hole speech, emphasizing that inflation remains the Fed's "primary focus." He expressed concern that underlying price trends have not shown substantial improvement, citing data showing a high proportion of PCE basket items with price increases above 3%. While the speech pushed market-implied odds of a September rate hike above 50%, major Wall Street banks remain unconvinced. Both JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs maintain that a September hike is not their base case. JPMorgan's economists see the upcoming August nonfarm payrolls and CPI reports as the critical data points for the September decision, and the bank maintains its forecast for a December hike. Goldman Sachs expects core inflation to rise around 0.2% month-over-month in August, a pace they believe would keep the FOMC on hold. They suggest a September move would only be likely if the August CPI and PPI data come in significantly stronger than expected. In his remarks, Warsh clarified two controversial points from July, affirming the Fed's commitment to its 2% inflation target and identifying the short-term interest rate as the primary policy tool. He also described the economy as "impressive" and current broad financial conditions as not restrictive.
