加密貨幣上漲：唐納德·川普重返白宮，比特幣飆升

隨著當選總統唐納德·特朗普和即將成為第一夫人的梅拉尼婭·特朗普推出了他們的模因幣，比特幣週一創下歷史新高

Bitcoin hit record highs on Monday, as President-elect Donald Trump, and soon-to-be First Lady-again Melania Trump launched their meme coins, days ahead of the inauguration.

週一，當選總統唐納德·特朗普和即將成為第一夫人的梅拉尼婭·特朗普在就職典禮前幾天推出了他們的模因幣，比特幣創下歷史新高。

The cryptocurrency leader reached above $108,000 (£88,668) for the first time ever on Monday morning, ahead of Trump’s official return to office.

週一早上，在川普正式重返辦公室之前，這位加密貨幣領導者的價格首次突破 108,000 美元（88,668 英鎊）。

Susannah Streeter, head of money and markets at Hargreaves Lansdown, said: “With the writing on the wall so overwhelmingly pro-crypto as Trump returns to the White House, Bitcoin has surged again in value to a fresh record high.”

Hargreaves Lansdown 貨幣和市場主管 Susannah Streeter 表示：“隨著川普重返白宮，不祥之兆壓倒性地支持加密貨幣，比特幣的價值再次飆升至新的歷史新高。”

This price surge followed the launch of the Trump family’s cryptocurrencies over the weekend, under the names of $TRUMP and $MELANIA.

這次價格飆升是在川普家族週末推出名為「$TRUMP」和「$MELANIA」的加密貨幣之後出現的。

Both meme coins initially surged dramatically, with the Trumps’ crypto gaining over 18,000 per cent in value within its first 24 hours.

這兩種迷因幣最初都大幅飆升，川普家族的加密貨幣在最初 24 小時內價值就上漲了 18,000% 以上。

By Saturday afternoon, just hours after its launch, the meme coin’s market capitalisation had boomed to $5.5bn (£4.5bn), reported CoinMarketCap, making it one of the most spoken about digital assets in the world.

根據 CoinMarketCap 報道，到週六下午，即發行後幾小時，這款迷因幣的市值已飆升至 55 億美元（45 億英鎊），使其成為世界上最受關注的數位資產之一。

He introduced his coin on his social media platform, Truth social, calling it a celebration of “everything we stand for: WINNING!”

他在自己的社交媒體平台 Truth Social 上介紹了他的硬幣，稱其是對「我們所代表的一切：勝利！」的慶祝。

Melania followed suit on Sunday evening by announcing the launch of her own meme coin on Musk’s X, urging investors to “buy $MELANIA now”.

週日晚上，梅蘭妮亞緊隨其後，宣佈在馬斯克的 X 上推出她自己的迷因幣，敦促投資者「立即購買 MELANIA 美元」。

Her coin diverted attention and market value from Trump’s coin, which fell below $8bn (£6.5bn) at one point as a result.

她的硬幣轉移了人們對川普硬幣的注意力和市場價值，導致川普硬幣一度跌破 80 億美元（65 億英鎊）。

Both coins have been described as symbolic, rather than financial instruments, having been disclaimed as “not political”, or tied to any campaigns.

這兩種硬幣都被描述為象徵性的，而不是金融工具，並被否認為“非政治性”，或與任何運動有關。

Yet, critics have accused the Trumps of using their platforms to profit from market speculation.

然而，批評者指責川普家族利用他們的平台從市場投機中獲利。

What’s in store for bitcoin in 2025 as Donald Trump returns to the White House?

隨著唐納德·川普重返白宮，2025 年比特幣將會發生什麼事？

Crypto venture capitalist Nick Tomaino called the timing and structure “predatory”, warning that many investors could lose money when the hype fades.

加密貨幣風險投資家 Nick Tomaino 稱這種時機和結構是“掠奪性的”，並警告說，當炒作消退時，許多投資者可能會虧損。

Meme coins are known for their volatility and lack of stable, intrinsic value, relying on social media buzz for its demand.

Meme 幣以其波動性和缺乏穩定的內在價值而聞名，其需求依賴於社群媒體的熱議。

Some praised Trump for embracing digital currencies, seeing it as a broader sign that his incoming administration, from Monday, will be pro-crypto.

有些人讚揚川普擁抱數位貨幣，認為這是一個更廣泛的跡象，表明他的即將上任的政府從週一開始將支持加密貨幣。

This follows his promise to make the US the “crypto capital of the planet” during his presidential campaign.

此前，他在總統競選期間承諾讓美國成為「地球的加密貨幣之都」。

Streeter deemed this as a “sign that Trump’s pledge to make the US the Bitcoin capital of the world will be honoured. “

斯特里特認為這是“一個跡象，表明川普將兌現讓美國成為世界比特幣之都的承諾。” “

Others saw this move as undermining crypto’s credibility.

其他人則認為此舉損害了加密貨幣的可信度。

“Meme coins like this are a distraction and a setback for serious crypto projects”, said Rob Hadick, partner at Dragonfly Capital.

Dragonfly Capital 合夥人 Rob Hadick 表示：“對於嚴肅的加密項目來說，像這樣的 Meme 幣會分散注意力並造成挫折。”

The timing of both launches also raised questions about their purpose, raising accusations of profiteering, with critics suggesting the ventures were designed to capitalise on the President’s return to power.

這兩次發射的時機也引發了對其目的的質疑，引發了對牟取暴利的指控，批評者認為這些企業旨在利用總統重新掌權。

Streeter, however, warned investors: “Although institutional interest and expected changes in regulation are adding more legitimacy, it’s still a highly volatile asset and has a history of dropping sharply after steep climbs.” 

然而，斯特里特警告投資者：“儘管機構興趣和監管的預期變化正在增加更多的合法性，但它仍然是一種高度波動的資產，並且有在急劇攀升後急劇下跌的歷史。”
