戴維·薩克斯（David Sacks），唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）和他的風險投資公司Craft Ventures的AI和Crypto的“沙皇”和加密貨幣

根據彭博社的說法，援引白宮的一份備忘錄，麻袋和手工藝品清算了他們的整個加密貨幣組合-Bitcoin（BTC），以太坊（ETH），Solana（Solan）（Solana（Sol））在1月20日特朗普就職之前。

President Donald Trump's go-to “czar” for AI and crypto, David Sacks, and his venture-capital firm, Craft Ventures, have recently sold a whopping $200 million worth of digital asset holdings.

唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）總統為AI和Crypto，David Sacks和他的風險投資公司Craft Ventures登上了“沙皇”，最近出售了價值2億美元的數字資產持有量。

According to Bloomberg, citing a White House counsel, David Warrington, on March 5 during a hearing with the Senate Judiciary Committee, Sacks and Craft liquidated their entire crypto portfolio—Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and more—before Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20.

據彭博社報導，戴維·沃靈頓（David Warrington）在3月5日在參議院司法委員會的聽證會上援引戴維·沃靈頓（David Warrington）的說法，薩克斯和工藝清算了他們的整個加密貨幣投資組合-Bitcoin（BTC）（BTC），以太坊（ETH），Solana（Solan），Solana（Sol）（Sol）等，在特朗普在1月20日舉行之前。

This revelation came in response to inquiries from Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who had also been pressing for Sacks to release his financial disclosures to the public. By divesting his crypto holdings before taking on the role of crypto adviser, Sacks is clearly distancing himself from any potential bias.

這一啟示是為了回應民主黨參議員伊麗莎白·沃倫（Elizabeth Warren）的詢問，後者還一直敦促麻袋向公眾發布財務披露。通過在擔任加密顧問的角色之前剝離他的加密貨幣，薩克斯顯然使自己遠離了任何潛在的偏見。

But Trump’s track record on the matter? That’s a different story.

但是特朗普關於此事的往績嗎？那是一個不同的故事。

Potential conflicts of interest

潛在的利益衝突

On the eve of his inauguration, Trump launched his very own memecoin, Official Trump (TRUMP) — a token that has no utility. But that didn’t stop it from gaining a cult following and peaking at a staggering valuation of $15 billion. Sadly, those loyal followers are now nursing huge losses as the coin plummeted. It’s currently down about 83.5% from its all-time high.

在就職典禮的前夕，特朗普推出了自己的紀念特朗普（特朗普），這是沒有效用的代幣。但這並沒有阻止它獲得追隨者的追隨，並以驚人的估值達到150億美元。可悲的是，隨著硬幣暴跌，這些忠實的追隨者現在正在護理巨大的損失。目前，它的歷史最高水平下降了約83.5％。

Those who invested in the token lost billions after it crashed and burned.

那些投資代幣崩潰並燃燒後損失了數十億美元的人。

According to a recent Financial Times investigation, the project managed to raise at least $350 million in the first three weeks following its launch. And despite claims that the token is “not distributed or sold by Donald Trump or his affiliates,” the subsidiary of Trump's company, CIC Digital, and Fight Fight Fight LLC appear to be the major backers of the memecoin, collectively holding a whopping 80% of the token.

根據最近的《金融時報》的調查，該項目在推出後的前三週設法籌集了至少3.5億美元。儘管宣稱該令牌“不是唐納德·特朗普或其分支機構分發或出售”，但特朗普公司CIC Digital和Fight Fight Fight Fight LLC的子公司似乎是Memecoin的主要支持者，共同持有80％的代幣。

Trump’s crypto ventures didn’t stop there. Last September, he launched World Liberty Financial, a decentralized finance platform that peddles the WLFI token. His sons—Eric, Don Jr., and Barron—are all reportedly involved in the project.

特朗普的加密貨幣並不止於此。去年9月，他推出了世界自由金融（World Liberty Financial），這是一個分散的金融平台，兜售WLFI代幣。據報導，他的兒子 - 歐洲，小唐和巴倫都參與了該項目。

This week, World Liberty Financial managed to raise $550 million in a token sale, pushing its total funding close to $600 million so far. Out of this sum, $550 million was secured through selling its WLFI tokens, according to data from ICO Drops.

本週，World Liberty Financial設法籌集了5.5億美元的代幣銷售，到目前為止，其總資金接近6億美元。根據ICO Drops的數據，在這筆款項中，通過出售其WLFI代幣獲得了5.5億美元。

Last month, crypto.news reported that World Liberty Financial sold over 24 billion tokens, leaving around 950 million tokens available for purchase.

上個月，Crypto.News報導說，世界自由金融售出了超過240億個令牌，可購買約9.5億代幣。

It’s worth noting that, on March 6, Trump signed a second Executive Order to establish a U.S. Bitcoin reserve and a Digital Asset Stockpile. At the time, Sacks downplayed the decision to include altcoins in the stockpile. He explained that it was a "political decision" to include anything other than BTC.

值得注意的是，3月6日，特朗普簽署了第二項行政命令，以建立美國比特幣儲備和數字資產庫存。當時，薩克斯（Sacks）淡化了在庫存中包括替代幣的決定。他解釋說，包括BTC以外的任何東西是一個“政治決定”。

Buddying up to Binance?

夥伴到binance？

Meanwhile, rumors have swirled that Binance is in talks with Trump and/or World Liberty Financial to sell a financial stake in its U.S. arm.

同時，有傳言稱，Binance正在與特朗普和/或世界自由財務上的對話，以在其美國黨中出售財務利益。

The discussions reportedly began after Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, began looking to reestablish a presence in the U.S. market following a turbulent period that saw it withdraw from the country in 2021.

據報導，討論始於全球最大的加密貨幣交易所Binance之後，在動蕩的時期看到它於2021年退出該國，開始尋求在美國市場上的存在。

According to Bitsonic Central, the rumors suggest that a pardon for Binance founder and former CEO Changpeng Zhao could be linked to the sale of a stake in the U.S. exchange. However, it remains unclear whether the stake would be contingent on a pardon or vice versa.

根據Bitsonic Central的說法，謠言表明，Binance創始人和前首席執行官Changpeng Zhao的赦免可能與在美國交易所的股份出售有關。但是，目前尚不清楚該股份是否會藉給赦免，反之亦然。

As for the pardon, it's no secret that Trump is known for granting pardons to those in legal trouble, and Zhao has certainly faced his fair share of legal woes recently. Binance has been the subject of several investigations by U.S. authorities for allegedly facilitating money laundering and flouting securities regulations.

至於赦免，特朗普以赦免法律麻煩的人而聞名並非秘密，而趙最近面臨著他的合法困境。 Binance一直是美國當局的幾項調查主題，據稱據稱促進了洗錢和違反證券法規。

However, under the Trump administration, cryptocurrency companies like Binance stand to benefit from relatively loose regulations compared to the Biden administration. So far, the Trump-appointed leadership of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has halted numerous investigations into crypto-related companies that began under President Joe Biden’s watch — including Binance.

但是，在特朗普政府的領導下，與拜登政府相比，像Binance這樣的加密貨幣公司將受益於相對鬆散的法規。到目前為止，美國證券交易委員會的特朗普任命領導層已經停止了對與加密相關的公司進行的許多調查，這些公司在喬·拜登（Joe Biden）總統（包括binance）（包括binance）中開始了。
