梅蘭妮亞·川普推出自己的加密貨幣，引發道德擔憂

梅蘭妮亞·川普在她丈夫就任總統的前夕週日推出了自己的加密貨幣，就在他自己的加密貨幣推出的第二天

Melania Trump launched her own cryptocurrency on Sunday ahead of her husband's presidential inauguration, a move that — along with the launch of Donald Trump's own coin a day earlier — is raising ethical concerns.

週日，梅拉尼婭·川普在她丈夫的總統就職典禮之前推出了自己的加密貨幣，此舉與唐納德·川普前一天推出的加密貨幣一起引發了道德擔憂。

"The Official Melania Meme is live! You can buy $MELANIA now," the incoming first lady wrote on X.

這位即將上任的第一夫人在 X 上寫道：「官方梅拉尼婭表情包已上線！您現在可以購買 $MELANIA」。

The launch of the coins surprised and concerned even those in the cryptocurrency industry, some of whom criticized the Trumps for again capitalizing on his presidency by launching a lucrative business product from which he and his family stand to profit.

這些代幣的推出甚至令加密貨幣行業的人士感到驚訝和擔憂，其中一些人批評川普家族再次利用他的總統任期，推出了一種利潤豐厚的商業產品，讓他和他的家人從中獲利。

"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.

香港獨立加密貨幣分析師 Justin D'Anethan 表示：“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。”

"Should public figures, especially those with such political clout, wield this kind of sway in speculative markets? That's a question regulators are unlikely to ignore," he said.

「公眾人物，尤其是那些具有如此政治影響力的公眾人物，應該在投機市場中發揮這種影響力嗎？監管機構不太可能忽視這個問題，」他說。

Trump, an enthusiastic supporter of crypto, has signalled that he will launch a strategic reserve of Bitcoin and many working in crypto are hoping he'll roll back regulations of the nascent industry.

川普是加密貨幣的熱情支持者，他已表示他將啟動比特幣策略儲備，許多從事加密貨幣工作的人希望他能取消對新興產業的監管。

The incoming president became the first presidential candidate to accept crypto as a valid form of donation to his campaign and Bloomberg reports that Trump might use an executive order to classify cryptocurrency as a "national priority" after his inauguration on Monday.

這位即將上任的總統成為第一位接受加密貨幣作為其競選活動的有效捐贈形式的總統候選人，彭博社報道稱，川普可能會在周一就職後使用行政命令將加密貨幣列為「國家優先事項」。

He also has strong support from the industry, with crypto companies like Ripple, Robinhood and Coinbase having donated to his inaugural fund.

他也得到了業界的大力支持，Ripple、Robinhood 和 Coinbase 等加密貨幣公司都向他的第一個基金捐款。

But the president-elect hasn't always been so enthusiastic about the digital assets: Trump previously called Bitcoin a "scam" in 2021, saying it was competing with and impacting the value of the U.S. dollar.

但當選總統並不總是對數位資產如此熱情：川普此前曾在 2021 年稱比特幣為“騙局”，稱其正在與美元價值競爭並影響美元價值。
