唐納德·特朗普正在推出加密貨幣。這就是它與比特幣的不同之處。

這位前總統和共和黨領跑者將於明天推出一種加密貨幣，但這種加密貨幣與加密貨幣市場上的許多其他加密貨幣有很大不同。

Donald Trump is launching a cryptocurrency tomorrow, but the coin is significantly different from many others in the crypto market.

唐納德·川普明天將推出一種加密貨幣，但該貨幣與加密貨幣市場上的許多其他貨幣有很大不同。

The former president and Republican frontrunner will be offering a token for World Liberty Financial (WLFI), which is a decentralized finance platform.

這位前總統和共和黨領跑者將為世界自由金融（WLFI）提供代幣，這是一個去中心化金融平台。

The waitlist opens tomorrow at 8 a.m. ET in what Trump has pledged to be his first step to "make America the crypto capital of the world."

等候名單將於美國東部時間明天上午 8 點開放，川普承諾這是他「讓美國成為世界加密貨幣之都」的第一步。

"I promised to Make America Great Again, this time with crypto," Trump wrote on Truth Social last month. "@WorldLibertyFi is planning to help make America the crypto capital of the world! The whitelist for eligible persons is officially open—this is your chance to be part of this historic moment."

川普上個月在 Truth Social 上寫道：“我承諾讓美國再次偉大，這次是透過加密貨幣。” “@WorldLibertyFi 計劃幫助美國成為世界加密貨幣之都！合格人員的白名單已正式開放 - 這是您參與這一歷史性時刻的機會。”

WLFI works as a money market for people to borrow, lend and earn interest on their cryptocurrencies. In the process, the platform has removed financial intermediaries for users.

WLFI 是一個貨幣市場，供人們借入、貸出加密貨幣並賺取利息。在此過程中，該平台為使用者消除了金融中介機構。

Users will also be able to get a token that ensures they have voting rights over WLFI.

用戶還可以獲得代幣，以確保他們擁有 WLFI 的投票權。

"This is more than just a financial venture," Ryan Waite, a political marketing expert and the VP of Public Affairs at Think Big, told Newsweek.

「這不僅僅是一次金融冒險，」政治行銷專家、Think Big 公共事務副總裁 Ryan Waite 告訴《新聞周刊》。

"It partially represents a larger political statement aimed at rallying supporters to engage with the Trump movement while participating in the emerging decentralized finance (DeFi) space. The WLF token is being promoted as an opportunity for supporters to 'shape the future of finance,' emphasizing financial autonomy and conservative values."

「它在一定程度上代表了一項更大的政治聲明，旨在團結支持者參與川普運動，同時參與新興的去中心化金融（DeFi）領域。WLF 代幣正在被宣傳為支持者」塑造金融未來”的機會，強調財務自主權和保守價值。”

Here's How Trump's New Crypto Coin Differs from Bitcoin

川普的新加密貨幣與比特幣有何不同

While bitcoin might be the most common type of crypto known to most Americans, Trump's new crypto coin differs in several ways.

雖然比特幣可能是大多數美國人所知道的最常見的加密貨幣類型，但川普的新加密貨幣在幾個方面有所不同。

"Whereas bitcoin is primarily a decentralized digital currency and a store of value, the WLF token operates within a larger DeFi platform and has elements of governance, utility, and political messaging," Waite said. "It's intended to serve as both an investment vehicle and a utility token, empowering its holders to participate in borrowing, lending, and governance within the World Liberty Financial ecosystem."

韋特說：“比特幣主要是一種去中心化的數位貨幣和價值儲存手段，而 WLF 代幣在更大的 DeFi 平台中運行，並具有治理、實用性和政治信息等元素。” “它旨在充當投資工具和實用代幣，使其持有者能夠參與世界自由金融生態系統內的借貸和治理。”

While most crypto can be traded, the WLFI coin will be non-transferable and non-yielding. Additionally, a majority of the WLFI coin will be for accredited investors, with 63 percent of the token supply reserved for this group.

雖然大多數加密貨幣都可以交易，但 WLFI 代幣將不可轉讓且不可收益。此外，大部分 WLFI 代幣將供認可投資者使用，其中 63% 的代幣供應量為該群體保留。

That's specifically available to those who have a net worth of $1 million or more or otherwise meet the accredited investor threshold.

這是專門為那些淨資產達到或超過 100 萬美元或符合認可投資者門檻的人提供的。

So far, more than 100,000 accredited American investors have been whitelisted for the project.

到目前為止，已有超過10萬名經過認證的美國投資者已被列入該計畫的白名單。

From the WLFI sale, Trump anticipates making $300 million for the company, which would give it an overall business value of $1.5 billion.

川普預計透過 WLFI 的出售將為該公司帶來 3 億美元的收入，這將使其整體業務價值達到 15 億美元。

Trump's upcoming launch has been met with some concerns over how the platform could potentially violate the Constitution. If foreign governments are able to use the platform, it could potentially create a conflict of interest under a second Trump presidency.

川普即將推出的平台引起了一些人的擔憂，人們擔心該平台可能違反憲法。如果外國政府能夠使用該平台，則可能會在川普第二任總統期間產生利益衝突。

"Anyone who thinks this is good for crypto, that it doesn't make us look like clowns, that it doesn't set us back YEARS in credibility.... This is such an obvious pump scheme. Maybe he won't literally rug but he's just grifting and it's pathetic," Alex Miller, a crypto expert and the CEO of Hiro Systems, wrote on Truth Social upon hearing of Trump's launch.

「任何認為這對加密貨幣有利的人，它不會讓我們看起來像小丑，它不會讓我們的信譽倒退數年......這是一個如此明顯的泵計劃。也許他不會真的這麼做加密貨幣專家兼 Hiro Systems 執行長 Alex Miller 在聽到川普的推出後在 Truth Social 上寫道。

The specific requirements for the majority of the crypto holders being accredited investors also have many complaining about the elitist nature of the project.

對大多數加密貨幣持有者作為合格投資者的具體要求也引起了許多人對該項目精英主義性質的抱怨。

"I wish I could qualify on the whitelist!.... Once again middle class is weeded out!" @PharmD999 wrote on Truth Social.

“我希望我能進入白名單！…中產階級再次被淘汰！” @PharmD999 在 Truth Social 上寫道。

A Look at Trump's Past Crypto Views

川普過去的加密貨幣觀點

While Trump might be embracing crypto as the way of the future now, the former president used to be against the digital payment system.

雖然川普現在可能會擁抱加密貨幣作為未來的發展方向，但這位前總統曾經反對數位支付系統。

After meeting with major Bitcoin players at his Mar-a-Lago home in June, Trump urged crypto investors to vote for him, saying he would counteract "Biden's hatred of Bitcoin."

六月，川普在海湖莊園的家中與比特幣主要參與者會面後，敦促加密貨幣投資者投票給他，並表示他將抵消「拜登對比特幣的仇恨」。

That was a far cry from Trump's perspective on crypto during his time in the White House.

這與川普在白宮期間對加密貨幣的看法相去甚遠。

"I am not a fan of Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies, which are not money, and whose value is highly volatile and based on thin air," Trump wrote on social media in 2019. "Unregulated Crypto Assets can facilitate unlawful behavior, including drug trade and other illegal activity."

川普在2019 年在社群媒體上寫道：「我不是比特幣和其他加密貨幣的粉絲，它們不是貨幣，其價值高度波動且憑空而來。不受監管的加密資產可能會助長非法行為，包括毒品交易以及其他非法活動。

"We have only one real currency in the USA," Trump also said. "And it will always stay that way. It is called the United States Dollar!"

「我們在美國祇有一種真實貨幣，」川普也表示。 “而且它將永遠保持這種狀態。它被稱為美元！”

Trump also previously told Fox Business that bitcoin "just seems like a scam."

川普先前還告訴福克斯商業頻道，比特幣「看起來就像是一個騙局」。

But Waite said Trump's changing perspective could reflect the shifting views of his own voter base.

但韋特表示，川普觀點的轉變可能反映了他自己選民基礎觀點的轉變。

"This turnaround seems partly driven by the growing popularity of crypto, especially among segments of his support base who see digital assets as a means to circumvent centralized financial control," Waite said.

韋特說：“這種轉變似乎在一定程度上是由於加密貨幣的日益普及所推動的，特別是在他的支持基礎中，他們將數位資產視為規避集中金融控制的一種手段。”
