梅蘭妮亞·川普推出了自己的加密貨幣，即梅蘭妮亞官方迷因

在當選總統唐納德·川普第二次就職典禮前幾個小時，即將上任的第一夫人梅蘭妮亞·川普推出了自己的加密貨幣。

Hours before the second inauguration of president-elect Donald Trump, incoming first lady Melania Trump has launched her own cryptocurrency.

在當選總統唐納德·川普第二次就職典禮前幾個小時，即將上任的第一夫人梅蘭妮亞·川普推出了自己的加密貨幣。

“The Official Melania Meme is live! You can buy $MELANIA now,” Melania Trump posted on X in the early hours of Monday.

「梅蘭妮亞官方表情包上線了！現在你可以購買 $MELANIA，」梅拉尼婭·川普週一凌晨在 X 上發文。

The launch of $Melania comes just days after Mr Trump launched his own meme coin, and appeared to briefly tank the value of $Trump before it then rebounded.

就在川普推出自己的迷因幣幾天后，$Melania 的推出似乎使 $Trump 的價值短暫下跌，然後又反彈。

The meme coin's official website says the cryptocurrency is created and tracked on the Solana blockchain.

Meme 幣的官方網站稱，該加密貨幣是在 Solana 區塊鏈上創建和追蹤的。

Meme coins are defined as any cryptocurrency that is named after characters, individuals, animals or artwork.

Meme 幣被定義為以人物、個人、動物或藝術品命名的任何加密貨幣。

Both the $Trump and $Melania coins have risen in value since launch but are also seeing volatile trade, and their respective websites note that the cryptocurrencies are “not intended to be, or the subject of” an investment opportunity or a security.

自推出以來，川普幣和梅拉尼亞幣的價值都在上漲，但交易也出現波動，它們各自的網站指出，加密貨幣「無意成為投資機會或證券的主題」。

The $Trump website describes the token as an expression of support for the new president.

$Trump 網站將該代幣描述為表達對新總統的支持。

“It’s time to celebrate everything we stand for: WINNING! Join my very special Trump Community,” the president-elect said in a post late on Friday.

「是時候慶祝我們所代表的一切了：勝利！加入我非常特別的川普社區，」當選總統在周五晚些時候的一篇貼文中說道。

The $Trump meme coin has a total market valuation of about $12 billion (£9.8bn) and the $Melania cryptocurrency stands at just over $2 billion, according to the CoinMarketCap website.

根據 CoinMarketCap 網站的數據，川普迷因幣的總市場估值約為 120 億美元（98 億英鎊），而梅拉尼亞加密貨幣的總市值略高於 20 億美元。

Mr Trump has suggested that as president he would issue an executive order to make crypto a policy priority, marking a shift from the Biden administration which probed the crypto industry over concerns about fraud and money laundering.

川普表示，身為總統，他將發布一項行政命令，將加密貨幣作為政策優先事項，這標誌著拜登政府的轉變，拜登政府因對詐欺和洗錢的擔憂而調查加密貨幣產業。

The president-elect ran a campaign that promised to end the “persecution” of the crypto industry, and to position the US as the “bitcoin superpower of the world”.

這位當選總統發起了一場競選活動，承諾結束對加密貨幣行業的“迫害”，並將美國定位為“世界比特幣超級大國”。

He even floated the idea of using bitcoin to “pay off the $35 trillion” national debt in August.

他甚至在 8 月提出了使用比特幣「償還 35 兆美元」國債的想法。

“Hand them a little crypto check, right? We’ll hand them a little bitcoin and wipe out our $35 trillion,” he told Fox Business.

「給他們一些加密支票，對吧？我們將向他們提供一點比特幣，並抹去我們的 35 兆美元，」他告訴福克斯商業頻道。

The president-elect has also invested personally in NFTs, or nonfungible tokens.

這位當選總統還親自投資了 NFT（非同質化代幣）。

He reported earning between $100,000 and $1 million last year from digital trading cards portraying him in cartoon-like images, including as an astronaut, a cowboy and a superhero, the Associated Press reported.

根據美聯社報道，他去年透過以卡通形象描繪他的數位交易卡賺取了 10 萬至 100 萬美元的收入，其中包括太空人、牛仔和超級英雄。

As of Monday morning, the price of bitcoin remained at record-high levels above $108,000 since crossing the $100,000 mark on Friday.

自周五突破 10 萬美元大關以來，截至週一上午，比特幣價格仍維持在 108,000 美元以上的歷史高點。
