唐納德·特朗普在第二任期之前推出了自己的模因幣 $TRUMP

唐納德·川普的第二個總統任期將於週一開始，他利用上任前的最後一個週末推出了自己的迷因幣。

Donald Trump has launched his own meme coin ahead of his second term as president, which begins on Monday.

唐納德·特朗普在周一開始的第二個總統任期之前推出了自己的模因幣。

“My NEW Official Trump Meme is HERE!” the president-elect announced in a post on X. “It’s time to celebrate everything we stand for: WINNING! Join my very special Trump Community. GET YOUR $TRUMP NOW. Go to http://gettrumpmemes.com — Have Fun!”

“我的新官方川普表情包在這裡！”當選總統在 X 上的一篇貼文中宣布。加入我非常特別的川普社群。立即獲取您的 $特朗普。請造訪 http://gettrumpmemes.com — 玩得開心！

The website from the post describes buying the meme as an opportunity to “get your piece of history” to celebrate “a leader who doesn’t back down, no matter the odds.”

貼文中的網站將購買迷因描述為「獲得你的歷史」的機會，以慶祝「無論可能性如何，都不會退縮的領導者」。

As of this writing, the volume of trade on the coin since Trump’s announcement yesterday evening has topped $29 billion, with the coin sitting at a current market cap of almost $12 billion according to CoinGecko. The coin reached a peak of $73.43, and is currently trading at just over sixty dollars.

截至本文撰寫時，自川普昨天晚上宣布這一消息以來，該代幣的交易量已超過 290 億美元，根據 CoinGecko 的數據，該代幣目前的市值接近 120 億美元。該代幣達到了 73.43 美元的峰值，目前交易價格略高於 60 美元。

In a cryptocurrency landscape already rife with fraud and dubious practices, meme coins like the one the president-elect is selling are broadly considered a more volatile investment at best, or an outright scam at worst. Also commonly known as “shitcoins,” they are cryptocurrencies built purely on hype that make no claims of intrinsic value of any kind, leaning on the popularity of a funny meme online or a celebrity – or in this case, the president-elect. According to the cryptocurrency analysis firm BDC, around 40% of meme coins are pump-and-dump schemes, and another 30% are so-called “rug-pull” scams where the coin’s creators make off with all the money. They also estimate that the average meme coin peaks and crashes within less than two hours. Despite the market for meme coins ballooning to over $100 billion in 2024, government regulation remains essentially nonexistent.

在已經充斥著詐欺和可疑行為的加密貨幣領域，像當選總統正在出售的迷因幣被廣泛認為是一種波動性更大的投資，往好裡說，或者說是徹頭徹尾的騙局。它們通常也被稱為“垃圾幣”，是純粹建立在炒作基礎上的加密貨幣，不聲稱任何形式的內在價值，依賴於網上有趣的模因或名人（或者在這種情況下，當選總統）的受歡迎程度。根據加密貨幣分析公司 BDC 的數據，大約 40% 的 meme 幣是拉高拋售計劃，另外 30% 是所謂的「拉動」騙局，即幣的創造者捲走所有的錢。他們還估計，平均模因幣在不到兩個小時內就會達到高峰並崩潰。儘管模因幣市場到 2024 年將激增至超過 1000 億美元，但政府監管仍然基本上不存在。

According to gettrumpmemes.com’s own data on $TRUMP, 80% of the meme coin is controlled by “Creators and CIC Digital,” the latter of which is an entity fully owned by the Donald Trump Revocable Trust. CIC Digital is the vehicle Trump used to launch NFTs, a crypto-adjacent digital asset whose market cratered in 2023. The site details how these coins are on a 3-year unlocking schedule, releasing more coins to the public released gradually over that period.

根據 gettrumpmemes.com 自己關於 $TRUMP 的數據，80% 的 meme 幣由“Creators 和 CIC Digital”控制，後者是唐納德·特朗普可撤銷信託公司 (Donald Trump Revocable Trust) 全資擁有的實體。 CIC Digital 是川普用來推出NFT 的工具，NFT 是一種與加密貨幣相關的數位資產，其市場在2023 年陷入困境。此期間逐步向公眾發行更多代幣。

There are already concerns about the coin’s allocation, as the top 10 holders control 89.06%; such concentration is broadly viewed as a sign of a pump-and-dump scheme or rug pull. Enthusiasts in the space are finding themselves conflicted between the signs pointing to a scam on one hand, and the boost that the imprimatur of the president-elect’s involvement means for the meme coin market.

人們已經開始擔心代幣的分配，因為前 10 名持有者控制著 89.06% 的股份；這種集中度被廣泛視為拉高拋售計畫或拉動行為的標誌。該領域的愛好者發現自己陷入了矛盾，一方面是指向騙局的跡象，另一方面是當選總統的參與對模因幣市場的認可所帶來的推動。

“We can see some insider traders involved, but I feel if the US government is supporting projects to set a roadmap for innovation in the country,” says Preetam Rao, head of a Web3 security firm, speaking to the crypto news site Cointelegraph. “Maybe it’s a rug pull, but it lays the foundation for innovation.”

Web3 安全公司負責人 Preetam Rao 在接受加密新聞網站 Cointelegraph 採訪時表示：“我們可以看到一些內幕交易者參與其中，但我覺得美國政府是否正在支持為該國製定創新路線圖的項目。” “也許這只是一種拉力，但它為創新奠定了基礎。”

Below all the promotional language and the two buttons to buy the meme coin (with crypto or a debit card), the president-elect’s meme coin site indicates that Trump Memes “are not intended to be, or to be the subject of, an investment opportunity, investment contract, or security of any type.” The text also indicates that CIC Digital “will receive trading revenue derived from trading activities” of the meme coin.

在所有促銷語言和購買模因硬幣（使用加密貨幣或借記卡）的兩個按鈕下方，候任總統的模因硬幣網站表明特朗普模因“無意成為投資或投資的主題”機會、投資合約或任何類型的安全。文字還表明，CIC Digital「將獲得來自 meme 幣交易活動的交易收入」。
