隨著 Trump Meme 幣市值飆升至 100 億美元，World Liberty Financial 透過代幣銷售籌集了 10 億美元

與美國總統唐納德·川普相關的加密項目World Liberty Financial (WLF) 已籌集了10 億美元的代幣銷售，而隨著川普第二任期的上任，新的川普模因幣的市值也飆升至超過100 億美元。

A crypto project linked to United States President Donald Trump has announced that it has raised $1bn in token sales. Meanwhile, a new Trump meme coin also soared to more than $10bn in market value as Trump began his second term in office.

與美國總統唐納德·川普相關的一個加密項目宣布，其代幣銷售已籌集 10 億美元。與此同時，隨著川普開始他的第二個任期，一種新的川普迷因幣的市值也飆升至超過 100 億美元。

The crypto project, called World Liberty Financial (WLF), made the announcement on Monday, the day Trump was sworn in as president.

這個名為 World Liberty Financial (WLF) 的加密貨幣項目於週一（即川普宣誓就任總統的當天）宣布了這一消息。

The boom in Trump-related crypto ventures comes as he promises to usher in a “golden age” for cryptocurrencies, in stark contrast with the regulatory scrutiny of the industry enforced under the administration of former President Joe Biden.

與川普相關的加密貨幣企業蓬勃發展之際，他承諾迎來加密貨幣的“黃金時代”，這與前總統喬·拜登政府對該行業實施的監管審查形成鮮明對比。

WLF, promoted and formed by Trump, his sons and Trump’s new special envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, was launched two months before the US election.

WLF由川普、他的兒子們以及川普新任中東問題特使史蒂夫·威特科夫(Steve Witkoff)推動和組建，在美國大選前兩個月啟動。

Trump’s new meme coin, branded $TRUMP, was launched on Friday night during the first-ever Crypto Ball in Washington, DC, in conjunction with inauguration festivities. The coin surged on Monday from less than $10 on Saturday morning to as high as $74.59 before giving up some of its huge rise.

川普的新迷因硬幣，品牌為 $TRUMP，於週五晚上在華盛頓特區舉行的首屆加密舞會上與就職慶典同時推出。週一，該代幣從週六早上的不到 10 美元飆升至 74.59 美元，然後回吐了部分漲幅。

The new coin expanded Trump’s cryptocurrency interests beyond WLF.

新硬幣將川普的加密貨幣興趣擴展到 WLF 之外。

Melania Trump also launched her own coin, branded $MELANIA, on Sunday. Its rally pushed its market cap well beyond $1bn.

梅蘭妮亞·川普週日也推出了自己的硬幣，品牌為「$MELANIA」。其反彈推動其市值遠遠超過 10 億美元。

Four-fifths of Trump coin’s tokens are owned by CIC Digital, an affiliate of Trump’s business, and another entity called Fight, Fight, Fight, according to its website. It says the coins are “an expression of support for, and engagement with, the ideals and beliefs embodied by the symbol ‘$TRUMP'” and are not an investment or security.

根據其網站，川普幣的五分之四由川普企業的附屬公司 CIC Digital 和另一個名為「Fight, Fight, Fight」的實體擁有。它表示，這些硬幣是“對‘$TRUMP’符號所體現的理想和信仰的支持和參與的表達”，而不是投資或證券。

The launch of WLF just two months before November’s US election raised concerns over ethics and conflicts of interest. The launch of the meme coin on Friday night also raised red flags, even among those in the cryptocurrency industry.

距離 11 月美國大選僅兩個月，WLF 的推出引起了人們對道德和利益衝突的擔憂。週五晚上，迷因幣的推出也引發了危險信號，甚至在加密貨幣行業中也是如此。

“While it’s tempting to dismiss this as just another Trump spectacle, the launch of the official Trump token opens up a Pandora’s box of ethical and regulatory questions,” said Justin D’Anethan, an independent crypto analyst based in Hong Kong.

「雖然人們很容易將此視為川普的另一個奇觀，但川普官方代幣的推出打開了道德和監管問題的潘朵拉魔盒，」駐香港的獨立加密貨幣分析師Justin D'Anethan表示。

Cryptocurrency lawyer Preston Byrne published a blog post on Sunday predicting a civil lawsuit opposing the coin.

加密貨幣律師 Preston Byrne 週日發表了一篇博文，預測針對該貨幣的民事訴訟。

“Someone will lose money, some lawyer will come up with a theory and file,” Byrne wrote. “The memecoin launch is, from a purely political perspective, an enormous unforced error.”

「有人會賠錢，有些律師會提出理論和文件，」伯恩寫道。 “從純粹的政治角度來看，模因幣的推出是一個巨大的非受迫性錯誤。”

Byrne declined to comment further.

伯恩拒絕進一步置評。

‘Crypto president’

“加密總統”

The Trump Organization said this month that the president would hand daily management of his multibillion-dollar real estate, hotel, golf, media and licensing portfolio to his children when he entered the White House.

川普集團本月表示，總統入主白宮後將把他價值數十億美元的房地產、酒店、高爾夫、媒體和許可投資組合的日常管理權交給他的孩子。

By 2:45pm EST (19:45 GMT), Trump’s coin was trading at $42.20, giving it a market cap of about $8.5bn, according to CoinMarketCap.

根據 CoinMarketCap 的數據，截至美國東部時間下午 2:45（格林尼治標準時間 19:45），川普代幣的交易價格為 42.20 美元，市值約為 85 億美元。

Twenty-four-hour trading volume was nearly $40bn, CoinMarketCap data showed.

CoinMarketCap 數據顯示，24 小時交易量接近 400 億美元。

WLF sold nearly 22 billion tokens on Monday, according to the company’s website, trampling past its original goals.

據該公司網站稱，WLF 週一出售了近 220 億枚代幣，這超出了其最初的目標。

That includes a total investment of $75m from Tron founder Justin Sun, who was charged with crypto-related fraud and securities violations during the Biden administration.

其中包括 Tron 創辦人孫宇晨 (Justin Sun) 的 7,500 萬美元總投資，他在拜登政府期間被指控犯有與加密貨幣相關的詐欺和證券違規行為。

Excitement over the so-called meme coins aided a wider rally in cryptocurrency prices as traders and investors grew more hopeful that Trump would keep his promise to be a “crypto president” by loosening regulations and promoting ownership of digital assets.

對所謂的迷因幣的興奮推動了加密貨幣價格的更廣泛上漲，因為交易員和投資者越來越希望川普透過放鬆監管和促進數位資產所有權來兌現其作為「加密貨幣總統」的承諾。

Several key figures in Trump’s administration and his circles have ties to the crypto industry.

川普政府及其圈子中的幾位關鍵人物與加密貨幣行業有聯繫。

Bitcoin hit $104,031 on inauguration day and has surged nearly 7 percent so far this month.

比特幣在就職當天觸及 104,031 美元，本月迄今已飆升近 7%。

The Trump and Melania cryptocurrencies were created on the lesser-known Solana blockchain, which CoinMarketCap ranks as the third-biggest blockchain network.

川普和梅蘭妮亞的加密貨幣是在鮮為人知的 Solana 區塊鏈上創建的，CoinMarketCap 將其列為第三大區塊鏈網路。

The price of Solana’s coin also rose over the weekend, hitting an all-time high of $294.33 on Sunday.

Solana 代幣的價格在周末也有所上漲，週日觸及 294.33 美元的歷史新高。

“The cryptocurrency market gained additional popularity in recent hours due to the launch of the TRUMP and MELANIA cryptocurrencies just before the inauguration,” said Grzegorz Drozdz, market analyst at Conotoxia Ltd, in a statement.

Conotoxia Ltd 市場分析師 Grzegorz Drozdz 在一份聲明中表示：“由於川普和 MELANIA 加密貨幣在就職典禮前推出，加密貨幣市場在最近幾個小時內變得更加受歡迎。”

Blurring the lines

模糊界線

Peter Schiff, chief economist and global strategist at Euro Pacific Asset Management, pointed to the jump in $TRUMP’s value and called it the new digital gold on social media.

歐洲太平洋資產管理公司（Euro Pacific Asset Management）首席經濟學家兼全球策略師彼得·希夫（Peter Schiff）指出，$TRUMP 的價值大幅上漲，並將其稱為社交媒體上的新數位黃金。

Trump’s net worth is estimated by Forbes to be $6.7bn. That does not include the value, at least on paper, of the $TRUMP coin or his earnings from WLF.

根據《富比士》估計，川普的淨資產為 67 億美元。這不包括川普幣的紙面價值，也不包括他從 WLF 獲得的收入。

The prospect of looser regulations around crypto policy has been met with fanfare by the industry and had turbocharged a rally in Bitcoin following Trump’s election victory in November.

圍繞加密貨幣政策放鬆監管的前景受到了業界的熱烈歡迎，並在川普 11 月大選獲勝後推動了比特幣的上漲。
