Bitcoin has been climbing ever since Trump was elected and surged from around $70,000 (€67,825) at the beginning of November to beyond $100,000 (€96,893) in two months.

自川普當選以來，比特幣一直在攀升，並在兩個月內從 11 月初的約 70,000 美元（67,825 歐元）飆升至 100,000 美元（96,893 歐元）以上。

Trump family's meme coins yielded billions over the weekend

川普家族的迷因幣週末收益達數十億美元

The then President-elect launched his own meme-coin on Friday. The token dubbed $Trump was priced at around $6 (€5.81) but surged to as high as $75.35 (€73.01). About 80% of these coins are held by CIC Digital LLC, which is directly linked to the Trump family business.

當時的當選總統於週五推出了自己的迷因幣。被稱為「川普」的代幣價格約為 6 美元（5.81 歐元），但飆升至 75.35 美元（73.01 歐元）。這些硬幣中約 80% 由 CIC Digital LLC 持有，該公司與川普家族企業有直接聯繫。

Its success was slightly diminished when another meme coin appeared on Sunday, as incoming First Lady Melania Trump followed suit with her launch of $MELANIA. The price of the latter doubled, gaining a more-than $2bn (€1.9bn) market capitalisation for the coin.

當週日出現另一種迷因幣時，它的成功略有減弱，即將上任的第一夫人梅拉尼婭·川普緊隨其後，推出了 $MELANIA。後者的價格翻了一番，使該代幣的市值超過 20 億美元（19 億歐元）。

The total value of Trump's token reached more than $14bn (€13.6bn) over the weekend, before falling to some $10bn (€9.7bn) by Monday morning, according to CoinMarketCap.

根據 CoinMarketCap 的數據，川普代幣的總價值在周末達到了超過 140 億美元（136 億歐元），但到週一早上跌至約 100 億美元（97 億歐元）。

The launch of the meme coins sparked criticism that Donald Trump is taking financial advantage of his political position.

迷因幣的推出引發了批評，稱唐納德·川普正在利用其政治地位來獲取經濟利益。

Trump, the 'crypto president'

川普，“加密貨幣總統”

Once a sceptic who said some years ago that bitcoin "seems like a scam", Trump has embraced digital currencies with a convert's zeal. He's launched a new cryptocurrency venture and vowed on the campaign trail to take steps early in his presidency to make the US into the "crypto capital" of the world.

川普曾經是一位懷疑論者，幾年前曾表示比特幣“似乎是一個騙局”，但現在他以皈依者的熱情擁抱了數位貨幣。他推出了一家新的加密貨幣企業，並在競選過程中發誓要在總統任期之初採取措施，使美國成為世界「加密貨幣之都」。

His promises included creating a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and enacting industry-friendly regulations.

他的承諾包括建立比特幣戰略儲備和製定有利於產業的法規。

Trump's picks for key cabinet and regulatory positions are stocked with crypto supporters, including his choice to lead the Treasury and Commerce departments and the head of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

川普對關鍵內閣和監管職位的選擇充滿了加密貨幣的支持者，包括他選擇領導財政部和商務部以及證券交易委員會主席。

"You're going to be very happy with me", Trump told crypto-enthusiasts at a Bitcoin conference last summer.

川普在去年夏天的一次比特幣會議上對加密貨幣愛好者說：“你們會對我感到非常滿意。”

Key industry players were throwing a first-ever "Crypto Ball" Friday evening, which promised on its website to include "an elite lineup of musical entertainment" to celebrate the first "crypto president". The event is sold out, with tickets costing several thousand dollars.

週五晚上，該行業主要參與者舉辦了有史以來第一次“加密舞會”，該舞會在其網站上承諾將包括“音樂娛樂精英陣容”，以慶祝第一位“加密貨幣總統”。活動門票已售罄，票價數千美元。
