民主黨議員針對有爭議的特朗普模因硬幣

這一舉動是在投資者從對特朗普模因硬幣的曝光率造成的巨大財務損失之中。

Democratic legislators are targeting the controversial TRUMP meme coin, launched by President Donald Trump, with a bill to prevent politicians from launching crypto coins.

民主黨議員的目標是唐納德·特朗普總統發起的有爭議的特朗普模因硬幣，並提出了一項法案，以防止政客推出加密貨幣。

This move comes amid substantial financial losses investors have encountered from exposures to the TRUMP meme coin.

這一舉動是由於投資者從對特朗普模因硬幣的曝光率造成的大量財務損失。

Last month, the TRUMP meme coin and a similar coin by Melania Trump quickly gained attention. They reached historic milestones with multi-billion-dollar valuations just hours after launching.

上個月，梅拉尼亞·特朗普（Melania Trump）的特朗普模因硬幣和類似的硬幣迅速引起了人們的關注。他們在發布後數小時就達到了歷史里程碑，並獲得了數十億美元的估值。

At one point, TRUMP ranked as the second-largest meme coin, trailing only Dogecoin. However, as the hype subsided, the price continued to plummet, with TRUMP falling by 82% from its all-time high.

有一次，特朗普被列為第二大模因硬幣，僅落後於狗狗。然而，隨著炒作的消退，價格繼續下降，特朗普從歷史最高時期下降了82％。

This downturn resulted in significant financial losses for many investors. As The Crypto Basic reported, the overwhelming majority of TRUMP buyers lost money.

這一不景氣給許多投資者帶來了巨大的財務損失。正如Crypto Basic報導的那樣，絕大多數特朗普買家損失了錢。

The decline has now caught the attention of lawmakers, including California Democrat Rep. Sam Liccardo. Liccardo is now leading a new effort to curb such financial ventures among U.S. officials.

現在的下降引起了議員的注意，包括加利福尼亞民主黨眾議員山姆·列卡多。 Liccardo現在正在領導一項新的努力，以遏制美國官員中的這種金融企業。

The MEME Act

模因法

Specifically, Rep. Liccardo is introducing the MEME Act, officially the Modern Emoluments and Malfeasance Enforcement (MEME) Act.

具體來說，眾議員Liccardo正在介紹《模因法》，正式的《現代梅爾和瀆職執法》（MEME）法案。

This bill would forbid the president and vice president from endorsing, issuing, or sponsoring any financial asset, including meme coins. It will also prohibit members of Congress, senior executive branch officials, and their families from similar activities.

該法案將禁止總統兼副總統認可，發行或贊助包括Meme Coins在內的任何金融資產。它還將禁止國會議員，高級執行部官員及其家人進行類似活動。

Liccardo argues that the Trump family’s involvement in launching these cryptocurrencies amounted to financial exploitation. He stressed that they capitalized on their political influence for personal gain.

Liccardo認為，特朗普家族參與推出這些加密貨幣的涉及財務剝削。他強調，他們利用了自己的政治影響，以供個人利益。

The legislation aims to prevent federal officials from profiting off digital assets, such as stocks or cryptocurrencies, as it could create conflicts of interest or invite corruption.

該立法旨在防止聯邦官員從股票或加密貨幣等數字資產中獲利，因為它可能會造成利益衝突或邀請腐敗。

Moreover, Liccardo has expressed concerns about the potential for insider trading and foreign influence over U.S. politics, especially given the global financial reach of such coins.

此外，Liccardo對內幕交易和外國對美國政治的影響的潛力表示關注，尤其是考慮到這種硬幣的全球財務影響力。

Challenges Ahead for the MEME Act

《模因法》提出的挑戰

Despite Liccardo’s strong stance, the MEME Act faces significant obstacles in the current political landscape.

儘管Liccardo的強烈立場，《模因法》在當前的政治格局中仍面臨重大障礙。

With Republicans holding majorities in both the House and Senate, the bill is unlikely to gain traction in the near term. However, Liccardo remains committed to pushing the bill forward, hoping to gain wider support under a future Democratic majority.

由於共和黨人在眾議院和參議院都持有多數，因此該法案在短期內不太可能受到關注。但是，Liccardo仍然致力於推動該法案前進，希望在未來的民主黨多數派的情況下獲得更廣泛的支持。

Liccardo’s proposal also includes retroactive provisions, meaning it would apply to coins like TRUMP that were issued before the bill’s potential enactment.

Liccardo的提案還包括追溯規定，這意味著它適用於在該法案的潛在頒布之前發布的諸如特朗普之類的硬幣。

Violators of the proposed law could face criminal and civil penalties to deter federal officials from profiting off any financial assets linked to their political roles.

違反擬議法律的人可能會面臨刑事和民事處罰，以阻止聯邦官員從與其政治角色有關的任何金融資產中獲利。
