唐納德·川普在就任美國總統第二任期之前推出加密貨幣“Meme Coin”

他於週五晚上在 Truth Social 和 X 上宣布推出該產品。此後，該資產的價值飆升，價格從每個代幣約 20 美元增加到超過 70 美元，增加了兩倍多

US president Donald Trump has launched a cryptocurrency “meme coin” ahead of his inauguration for a second term, called $Trump.

美國總統唐納德·川普在就職第二任期之前推出了一種加密貨幣“模因幣”，名為“$Trump”。

He announced the launch on Truth Social and X on Friday night. The asset has since soared in value, more than tripling in price from about $20 per token to more than $70, with at least $24bn in trading volume as of Sunday morning and more than $14bn in market capitalization.

他於週五晚上在 Truth Social 和 X 上宣布推出該產品。此後，該資產的價值飆升，價格從每個代幣約 20 美元增至超過 70 美元，增長了兩倍多，截至週日上午，交易量至少為 240 億美元，市值超過 140 億美元。

A “meme coin” is a type of cryptocurrency inspired by trends such as internet memes with no inherent utility, and are often susceptible to price swings and crashes. The “Hawk Tuah girl”’s meme coin dropped 95% shortly after its release last month, fallen from a $500m market capitalization to $25m, with investors submitting complaints with the SEC of insider trading.

「迷因幣」是一種受網路迷因等趨勢啟發的加密貨幣，沒有固有的實用性，通常容易受到價格波動和崩盤的影響。 「Hawk Tuah 女孩」的 meme 幣上個月發行後不久就下跌了 95%，市值從 5 億美元跌至 2500 萬美元，投資者向 SEC 提交了內幕交易投訴。

The cryptocurrency community has been eagerly anticipating Trump’s second term, with anticipated favorable regulatory environments and Trump claiming he intends to make the US the “crypto capital of the planet”.

加密貨幣界一直熱切期待川普的第二任期，預期有利的監管環境，川普聲稱他打算讓美國成為「地球的加密貨幣之都」。

The president-elect has nominated Paul Atkins to serve as Chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), a known crypto enthusiast who served as co-chair of the crypto advocacy group Digital Chamber’s Token Alliance since 2017.

當選總統提名保羅·阿特金斯(Paul Atkins) 擔任美國證券交易委員會(SEC) 主席，他是一位著名的加密貨幣愛好者，自2017 年以來一直擔任加密貨幣倡導組織Digital Chamber 令牌聯盟的聯合主席。

Trump has also promised to issue an executive order once in office to create a crypto advisory council with as many as 20 members.

川普也承諾上任後將發布一項行政命令，成立一個由多達 20 名成員組成的加密貨幣諮詢委員會。

However, the speculative nature of crypto assets has incited concerns over a potential bubble, where political endorsements and support far inflate asset prices beyond fundamental values and do not reflect the risks associated with investments.

然而，加密資產的投機性質引發了人們對潛在泡沫的擔憂，政治認可和支持使資產價格遠遠超出基本價值，並且不能反映與投資相關的風險。

“Strong political and government endorsements of crypto, paradoxically, pose a threat to its decentralisation ethos and could ultimately undermine the appeal of crypto assets,” wrote Larisa Yarovaya, an associate professor of finance and director of the Centre for Digital Finance at Southampton Business School, for the Guardian earlier this month. “If, in 2025, the SEC turns a blind eye, consumers could be left entirely unprotected from financial losses – especially when another meme coin bubble bursts.”

南安普敦商學院金融學副教授兼數位金融中心主任Larisa Yarovaya 寫道：「矛盾的是，政治和政府對加密貨幣的大力支持對其去中心化精神構成了威脅，並最終可能削弱加密資產的吸引力。 “如果 2025 年 SEC 視而不見，消費者可能會完全無法受到經濟損失的保護，尤其是當另一個模因幣泡沫破裂時。”

According to the Trump meme coin website, a Trump-owned company called CIC Digital LLC owns 80% of the coin’s supply of 200m tokens, which is expected to grow to 1bn over three years.

據川普迷因幣網站稱，川普旗下一家名為 CIC Digital LLC 的公司擁有該幣 2 億枚代幣供應量的 80%，預計三年內將成長至 10 億枚。

Trump has previously released batches of crypto trading cards during his presidential campaign, generating over $4m per release in total revenue. His sons Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr also launched a cryptocurrency venture, World Liberty Financial, in 2024, inciting concerns of an overt conflict of interest.

川普先前在總統競選期間曾發布過多批加密貨幣交易卡，每次發布的總收入超過 400 萬美元。他的兒子 Eric Trump 和 Donald Trump Jr 也在 2024 年推出了一家加密貨幣企業 World Liberty Financial，引發了人們對公開利益衝突的擔憂。

Leading crypto firms have poured at least $10m into Trump’s Inauguration fund.

領先的加密貨幣公司已向川普的就職基金投入了至少 1000 萬美元。

The meme coin’s website included a disclaimer stating: “Trump Memes are intended to function as an expression of support for, and engagement with, the ideals and beliefs embodied by the symbol “$TRUMP” and the associated artwork, and are not intended to be, or to be the subject of, an investment opportunity, investment contract, or security of any type.
