梅蘭妮亞·川普在丈夫準備重返白宮之際推出迷因幣

在數位貨幣上漲之際，即將上任的美國第一夫人跟隨她丈夫的腳步，推出了價值數十億美元的加密貨幣迷因硬幣

Melania Trump has launched her own cryptocurrency meme coin, $Melania, amid a rally in digital currencies as her husband prepares to return to the White House.

梅蘭妮亞·川普(Melania Trump)在她的丈夫準備重返白宮之際，在數位貨幣上漲之際，推出了自己的加密貨幣模因幣$Melania。

The price of the incoming president’s token, $Trump, had tripled to more than $70, giving it a total value of over $14 billion shortly after its launch on Friday. However, the launch of his wife’s coin pared back those gains as investors piled into her rival coin.

即將上任的總統的代幣 $Trump 的價格在周五推出後不久就上漲了兩倍，達到 70 美元以上，總價值超過 140 億美元。然而，隨著投資者紛紛湧入她的競爭對手的硬幣，他妻子的硬幣的推出削減了這些漲幅。

Cryptocurrencies have made significant gains since Donald Trump’s election victory in November as he has signalled plans to deregulate the sector.

自從唐納德·川普 (Donald Trump) 於 11 月贏得大選以來，加密貨幣已取得顯著收益，因為他表示計劃放鬆對該行業的監管。

On Monday, bitcoin – the world’s best known digital currency – reached a fresh record high of $109,241, up by more than 5 per cent. Dogecoin – which has been touted by Trump-supporting billionaire Elon Musk as the “people’s crypto” – gained nearly 5 per cent, while Ethereum climbed 3.5 per cent to $3,384.

週一，全球最著名的數位貨幣比特幣創下 109,241 美元的新紀錄，漲幅超過 5%。被支持川普的億萬富翁伊隆馬斯克吹捧為「人民的加密貨幣」的狗狗幣上漲了近 5%，而以太幣則上漲了 3.5%，至 3,384 美元。

Trump, who will be inaugurated on Monday, posted on social media as his token launched: “It’s time to celebrate everything we stand for: WINNING! Join my very special Trump Community. GET YOUR $TRUMP NOW.”. According to the meme coin’s website, a Trump-owned company, CIC Digital LLC, will own 80 per cent of the token’s supply.

將於週一就職的川普在其代幣推出時在社群媒體上發文表示：「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群。現在就得到你的川普吧。根據 meme 幣的網站，川普旗下的公司 CIC Digital LLC 將擁有該代幣 80% 的供應量。

The token quickly broke into the top 20 of all cryptocurrencies. Such was the extent of the digital stampede, blockchain analysts said, it sucked liquidity from the rest of the market, causing other coins to fall in value, as traders sold their existing holdings to buy into Trump’s.

該代幣很快就躋身所有加密貨幣前 20 名。區塊鏈分析師表示，這就是數位化浪潮的嚴重程度，它吸走了市場其他部分的流動性，導致其他加密貨幣價值下跌，因為交易員出售了現有資產，轉而購買川普的加密貨幣。

Melania Trump’s launch appeared to have a similarly unintended effect on the market, as some traders sold his meme coin for a new target. “The Official Melania Meme is live! You can buy $MELANIA now,” she posted on X, which was reposted by her husband.

梅拉尼婭·川普的推出似乎對市場產生了類似的意想不到的影響，因為一些交易員為了新的目標而出售了他的迷因幣。 「梅蘭妮亞官方表情包上線了！現在你可以購買 $MELANIA 了，」她在 X 上發帖，該帖子被她的丈夫轉發了。

Shortly after the launch of $Melania, the price of $Trump fell by more than 50%, from $75 to $30, before recovering steadily in subsequent hours to about $64. The market capitalisation of $Melania reached as high as $13 billion.

$Melania 推出後不久，$Trump 的價格下跌了 50% 以上，從 75 美元跌至 30 美元，然後在隨後的幾個小時內穩步回升至 64 美元左右。 $Melania的市值高達130億美元。

“This is beyond insane,” analysts at The Kobeissi Letter posted on X. “Less than 48 hours ago, Donald Trump launched $trump which just erased $7.5 billion in market cap in 10 minutes. In the minutes around the launch of Melania Trump’s token, we saw massive sell orders in $trump.”

“這太瘋狂了，”《科比西信函》的分析師在X 上發帖稱。美元。在梅拉尼婭·川普代幣推出的幾分鐘內，我們看到了川普美元的大量賣單。

A meme coin is a type of cryptocurrency inspired by trends such as internet memes with no inherent utility, and are often susceptible to price swings and crashes.

迷因硬幣是一種受網路迷因等趨勢啟發的加密貨幣，沒有固有的實用性，並且通常容易受到價格波動和崩潰的影響。

Meme coins have been described by traders as a “pure form of gambling” and akin to “buying a lottery ticket”.

交易者將模因幣描述為“純粹的賭博形式”，類似於“買彩票”。

While the notional value of the Trump-affiliated meme coins rose into the billions of dollars, in practice it would be difficult to realise that amount of money by selling the tokens without dramatically affecting the price. However, they could still allow Trump-controlled companies to make significant amounts of money as lock-up periods end over the next three to 12 months, while he is US president.

儘管與川普相關的迷因幣的名義價值已升至數十億美元，但實際上，在不顯著影響價格的情況下，很難透過出售代幣來實現這筆金額的資金。然而，在川普擔任美國總統期間，隨著禁售期在未來 3 到 12 個月內結束，他們仍然可以讓川普控制的公司賺取大量資金。

The $Melania meme coin is marketed by MKT World LLC, a Florida-registered company owned by Melania Trump, whose previous surname name was Knauss. The owners will be able to sell the meme coin themselves after 30 days.

$Melania meme 硬幣由 MKT World LLC 銷售，MKT World LLC 是一家在佛羅裡達州註冊的公司，由梅拉尼婭·川普 (Melania Trump) 擁有，她以前的姓氏是克瑙斯 (Knauss)。 30 天后，所有者可以自行出售 Meme 幣。

Some crypto enthusiasts hailed the Trump meme coin’s release, saying it was symbolic of the incoming president’s support for an industry that felt unfairly targeted by the Biden administration. Trump has promised to usher in crypto-friendly regulations and picked its supporters for key government positions.

一些加密貨幣愛好者對川普迷因硬幣的發布表示歡迎，稱這象徵著即將上任的總統對一個感覺受到拜登政府不公平攻擊的行業的支持。川普承諾引入對加密貨幣友善的法規，並挑選其支持者擔任關鍵政府職位。

But it has also stoked concerns of conflicts of interest and criticisms over an attempt to personally profit from political office.

但這也引發了對利益衝突的擔憂以及對試圖從政治職位中謀取個人利益的批評。

Trump released batches of crypto trading cards during his presidential campaign, generating more than $4 million for each release. Trump’s sons Eric and Donald Jr also launched a cryptocurrency venture, World Liberty Financial, in 2024, inciting concerns of an overt conflict of interest.

川普在總統競選期間發布了多批加密貨幣交易卡，每次發布帶來的收入超過 400 萬美元。川普的兒子艾瑞克和小唐納德也在 2024 年推出了一家加密貨幣企業 World Liberty Financial，引發了人們對公開利益衝突的擔憂。
