加密貨幣模因硬幣 - 像唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）晉升的一號 - 不受聯邦證券法規的約束

加密貨幣代幣稱為模因硬幣（例如上個月唐納德·特朗普總統倡導的硬幣）不受聯邦證券法規的約束

Cryptocurrency tokens known as meme coins — such as the one promoted by President Donald Trump last month — are not subject to federal securities regulations, the Securities and Exchange Commission said Thursday.

美國證券交易委員會周四表示，加密貨幣代幣被稱為模因硬幣（例如上個月由唐納德·特朗普總統提起的一枚）不受聯邦證券法規的約束。

Meme coins associated with Donald and Melania Trump soared shortly before Trump's inauguration — likely netting companies affiliated with the coins millions in fees — before plummeting in recent weeks.

與唐納德（Donald）和梅拉尼亞·特朗普（Melania Trump）有關的模因硬幣在特朗普就職典禮前不久飆升，可能是在最近幾週暴跌之前與硬幣簽訂的淨薪水。

According to the SEC, the coins are more akin to "collectibles" and don't fall under the category of securities under federal law, likely shielding companies like the one behind $TRUMP from potential litigation.

根據SEC的說法，硬幣更類似於“收藏品”，並且不屬於聯邦法律規定的證券類別，很可能屏蔽了像特朗普$ trump背後的公司免於潛在訴訟的公司。

"Meme coins typically are purchased for entertainment, social interaction, and cultural purposes, and their value is driven primarily by market demand and speculation. In this regard, meme coins are akin to collectibles," the SEC said in a statement from its division of corporate finance.

SEC在其公司財務部的一份聲明中說：“模因硬幣通常是用於娛樂，社會互動和文化目的，其價值主要由市場需求和投機驅動。在這方面，模因硬幣類似於收藏品。”

Meme coins are a highly volatile slice of the crypto industry that may start as a joke but can become quite profitable for the individual promoter.

模因硬幣是加密貨幣行業的高度揮發性切片，可能是開玩笑的，但對個人發起人來說可能會非常有利可圖。

"It is the Division's view that transactions in the types of meme coins described in this statement, do not involve the offer and sale of securities under the federal securities laws. As such, persons who participate in the offer and sale of meme coins do not need to register their transactions with the Commission under the Securities Act of 1933 or fall within one of the Securities Act's exemptions from registration. Accordingly, neither meme coin purchasers nor holders are protected by the federal securities laws."

The SEC statement comes after Trump launched his own meme coin just before the inauguration. It was valued at more than $74 at the outset but has since fallen to about $12.

SEC聲明發表在特朗普就就職之前推出自己的模因硬幣。一開始，它的價值超過74美元，但此後跌至約12美元。

The announcement from the SEC comes as House Democrats are planning to introduce legislation that would prohibit elected officials and their families from profiting from personal memes coins.

SEC的宣布是因為眾議院民主黨計劃介紹將禁止民選官員及其家人從個人模因硬幣中獲利的立法。

California freshman Democrat Rep. Sam Liccardo told ABC News he is working with a dozen Democratic co-sponsors to introduce the Modern Emoluments and Malfeasance Enforcement (MEME) Act that would prohibit the president, vice president, members of Congress, senior executive branch officials, and their spouses and dependent children from issuing, sponsoring or endorsing a security, future, commodity or digital asset.

加利福尼亞大一新生民主黨眾議員薩姆·利卡多（Sam Liccardo）告訴美國廣播公司新聞，他正在與十幾個民主共同發起人合作，介紹現代埃米爾語和瀆職執法（MEME）法案（MEME），該法案將禁止總統，副總統，國會議員，高級行政部門官員以及他們的配偶和依賴的兒童簽發或簽發安全，商品，商品，未來，未來，

"Our public offices belong to the public, not the officeholders, nor should they leverage their political authority for financial gain," Liccardo said. "The Trumps' issuance of meme coins financially exploits the public for personal gain and raises the specter of insider trading and foreign influence over the Executive Branch."

LiCcardo說：“我們的公共辦公室屬於公眾，而不是辦公室持有人，也不應利用其政治權力來獲得經濟利益。” “特朗普的發行模因硬幣在財務上利用公眾以謀取個人利益，並提高了內幕交易和外國對行政部門的影響力。”
