Strengthening American Leadership in Digital Financial Technology

加強美國在數字金融技術方面的領導

On January 23, Trump issued an Executive Order on Strengthening American Leadership in Digital Financial Technology

1月23日，特朗普發布了一項行政命令，以加強美國在數字金融技術方面的領導

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, and in order to promote United States leadership in digital assets and financial technology while protecting economic liberty, it is hereby ordered as follows: …

由憲法和美利堅合眾國法律賦予我總統的當局，為了在保護經濟自由的同時促進美國在數字資產和金融技術方面的領導地位，特此訂購如下：…

I leave it to the reader to read the rest of the nonsense because Trump has no such authority to do what he says.

我把它留給讀者閱讀其餘的胡說八道，因為特朗普沒有這樣的權力去做他說的事情。

The article below sums up the situation nicely.

下面的文章很好地總結了情況。

Strategic Corruption Reserve

戰略腐敗儲備

Please consider the Strategic Corruption Reserve

請考慮戰略腐敗儲備

The term “Crypto Strategic Reserve” is a non sequitur since there are no plausible circumstances in which the United States government holding large amounts of cryptocurrencies would be of any strategic benefit.

“加密戰略儲備”一詞是非序列的，因為在沒有合理的情況下，美國政府持有大量加密貨幣將帶來任何戰略利益。

A strategic oil reserve is beneficial in the event of a shortage of oil imports or a disruption in domestic oil production. When would a reserve of cryptocurrency be useful? Under what circumstance would the United States need to make a transaction with a crypto token that could not also be made with the dollar?

如果石油進口不足或國內石油生產中斷，戰略石油儲備是有益的。什麼時候有用的加密貨幣儲備？在什麼情況下，美國需要與無法用美元進行的加密代幣進行交易？

It raises the question of why the United States would divert taxpayer resources to obtain these tokens.

它提出了一個問題，即為什麼美國會轉移納稅人資源以獲取這些令牌。

While the public benefit is unclear, the biggest economy in the world buying up large amounts of various crypto tokens would be a financial windfall for the companies that created these tokens and the people who already own them. Those companies and investors also have close political and financial ties to Trump.

儘管公共利益尚不清楚，但全世界最大的經濟體購買了大量的各種加密代幣將是創建這些代幣和已經擁有它們的人的公司的金融意外之財。這些公司和投資者還與特朗普有著密切的政治和財務聯繫。

For XRP, being included in Trump’s proposed national crypto reserve is a major coup for its creator, Ripple.

對於XRP而言，被包括在特朗普提議的國家加密保護區中，這是其創作者Ripple的重大政變。

Introduced in 2012, XRP is the world’s third-largest cryptocurrency and was designed to speed up international transactions by using XRP as a bridge currency for transactions made through Ripple’s payment network. Most of the large financial institutions that use Ripple’s platform, however, do not use XRP, so the currency has little value other than as a speculative asset. The currency remains highly centralized, with Ripple owning 48 billion XRP of the 100 billion coins in circulation.

XRP於2012年推出，是世界第三大加密貨幣，旨在通過使用XRP作為通過Ripple的支付網絡進行的交易來加快國際交易的速度。但是，大多數使用Ripple平台的大型金融機構都不使用XRP，因此該貨幣除了投機資產以外幾乎沒有價值。該貨幣仍然是高度集中的，波紋在流通中擁有480億XRP。

In December 2020, the end of Trump’s first term, the SEC issued charges against Ripple related to XRP, alleging that the token was an unregistered security. Initially a court ruled that XRP is a security in certain transactions but not in others, but the SEC appealed that decision. Although the SEC has abandoned many of its other legal actions against crypto firms, the appeal in the XRP case is still pending.

在2020年12月，即特朗普的第一任期結束時，SEC對與XRP有關的波紋發出了指控，指控令牌是未註冊的安全性。最初，法院裁定XRP是某些交易的安全性，但在其他交易中不是，但SEC對此決定提出上訴。儘管SEC放棄了針對加密貨幣公司的許多其他法律訴訟，但XRP案件中的上訴仍在審理中。

Ripple’s improving political fortunes is not an accident. The company contributed $5 million worth of XRP to Trump’s inauguration fund, one of the largest corporate contributions. Ripple also donated $45 million dollars to Fairshake, a Super PAC that supported pro-crypto congressional candidates and played a critical role in securing Republican majorities in the House and Senate. The company has since contributed another $25 million to Fairshake ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

波紋的改善政治命運並不是偶然的。該公司為特朗普的就職基金（最大的公司捐款之一）捐款了價值500萬美元的XRP。 Ripple還向Fairshake捐贈了4500萬美元，這是一家超級PAC，支持Pro-Crypto國會候選人，並在確保眾議院和參議院的共和黨多數派中發揮了至關重要的作用。此後，該公司在2026年中期選舉之前又為Fairshake貢獻了2500萬美元。

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse attended Trump’s inauguration and earlier in January, he and Ripple’s chief legal officer had dinner with Trump at Mar-A-Lago. The New York Post reported that Garlinghouse is on the shortlist of candidates for Trump’s crypto advisory council.

Ripple首席執行官布拉德·加林豪斯（Brad Garlinghouse）出席了特朗普的就職典禮，一月初，他和Ripple的首席法律官在Mar-A-Lago與特朗普共進晚餐。 《紐約郵報》報導說，加林豪斯在特朗普加密諮詢委員會的候選人名單上。

Garlinghouse praised Trump’s inclusion of smaller and more volatile cryptocurrencies like XRP in the national crypto reserve on X.

加林豪斯（Garlinghouse）讚揚特朗普（Trump）在X的國家加密保護區（National Crypto Reserve）中包括XRP等較小且更加動蕩的加密貨幣。

Trump himself could also benefit through the bolstering of the Solana protocol, which hosts most memecoins. In January, Trump and his wife Melania both launched their own memecoins on Solana. Including Solana in a crypto reserve may benefit the Solana network and, as a result, boost the value of Trump’s memecoin.

特朗普本人也可以通過對索拉納協議的加強來受益，該協議主持了大多數紀念物。一月份，特朗普和他的妻子梅拉尼亞（Melania）都在索拉納（Solana）發起了自己的成員。在加密保護區中包括索拉納（Solana）可能會使Solana網絡受益，從而提高特朗普的成員的價值。

Questions Abound

問題比比皆是

No Vested Power to Fund This

沒有既得的權力來資助

There is no vested power for Trump to fund a crypto reserve with taxpayer or Treasury funds.

特朗普沒有既得權力可以通過納稅人或財政資金為加密儲備金提供資金。

I am not sure who if anyone would have standing to block a crypto advisory committee, but I fail to see how Trump can get this legally funded without Congress or gifts that would then become government assets that Congress could appropriate.

我不確定誰是否有任何人會阻止加密諮詢委員會，但我看不到特朗普在沒有國會或禮物的情況下如何獲得這項合法資助，或者將成為國會可以適當的政府資產。

Even crypto fans should be nauseated by this effort, the hypocrisy, and the obvious inherent corruption.

即使是加密貨幣的粉絲也應該因這種努力，偽善和明顯的內在腐敗而感到噁心。

Will the US Be that Stupid?

美國會這麼愚蠢嗎？

Q: What do you mean?

問：你是什麼意思？

A: Have a crypto reserve.

答：有一個加密儲備。

I don’t know. If Congress approves and funds a crypto reserve, then we will have one.

我不知道。如果國會批准並資助了加密儲備，那麼我們將擁有一份加密儲備。

But we won’t have one by executive order because Trump has no authority to authorize and fund projects.

但是我們不會按行政命令進行一個，因為特朗普無權授權和資助項目。

And if you are foolish enough to be cheering for this, wait until Democrats use their “vested power” to do similar things.

而且，如果您愚蠢到為此歡呼，請等待民主黨人使用他們的“既得力量”來做類似的事情。
