Meme coins, a type of cryptocurrency issued without a practical purpose, mainly for fun, have seen a recent surge in popularity among Korean investors. Now, a meme coin launched by Trump himself has debuted on Korea's virtual asset exchanges.

Meme 幣是一種沒有實際目的、主要是為了好玩而發行的加密貨幣，最近在韓國投資者中人氣飆升。現在，川普本人推出的一款迷因幣已在韓國虛擬資產交易所首次亮相。

Officials at cryptocurrency exchanges said Thursday that Official Trump, a meme coin launched by Trump last week in the U.S., has started trading on two out of the five virtual asset exchanges in Korea. They added that the coin is exhibiting significant price swings, which could deepen negative perceptions of the cryptocurrency market.

加密貨幣交易所的官員週四表示，川普上週在美國推出的迷因幣「Official Trump」已開始在韓國五家虛擬資產交易所中的兩家進行交易。他們補充說，該代幣的價格波動很大，這可能會加深人們對加密貨幣市場的負面看法。

Launched on Friday in the U.S., Official Trump is now available for transactions on Bithumb and Coinone among Korean exchanges.

官方川普週五在美國推出，現已可在韓國交易所的 Bithumb 和 Coinone 上進行交易。

As of Thursday, the coin’s price at Coinone surged 135 percent to 83,900 won ($58.39) within 30 minutes of its listing on Monday. But it lost half of those gains the following trading day. Since then, it has seen further fluctuations, trading at approximately 55,000 won Thursday.

截至週四，該代幣在 Coinone 的價格在周一上市後 30 分鐘內飆升了 135% 至 83,900 韓元（58.39 美元）。但在接下來的交易日，它損失了一半的漲幅。此後，價格進一步波動，週四交易價格約為 55,000 韓元。

At Bithumb, the coin's price jumped 34 percent shortly after its Tuesday evening listing, reaching a peak of 71,650 won before sliding back to 55,000 won Thursday.

在 Bithumb，該代幣的價格在周二晚上上市後不久就上漲了 34%，達到 71,650 韓元的峰值，然後週四回落至 55,000 韓元。

"Trump is likely to use his coin holders as a powerful community base for collective action," Ju Ki-young, CryptoQuant Founder and CEO, wrote on social platform X. "The coin’s value depends entirely on what Trump does."

CryptoQuant 創辦人兼執行長Ju Ki-young 在社群平台X 上寫道：「川普可能會利用他的代幣持有者作為集體行動的強大社群基礎。代幣的價值完全取決於特朗普的所作所為。

Meme coins tend to have an unlimited or excessively abundant supply, which is a key factor behind their significant speculation and price volatility.

迷因幣的供應量往往是無限的或過於豐富，這是其投機行為嚴重和價格波動背後的關鍵因素。

Officials are concerned that such volatility could deepen negative perceptions of the cryptocurrency market, especially as Korea's crypto market moves toward greater institutionalization and self-regulation.

官員們擔心，這種波動可能會加深人們對加密貨幣市場的負面看法，特別是在韓國加密貨幣市場走向更大程度的製度化和自我監管之際。

"My concern is that people unfamiliar with the cryptocurrency industry may view the industry solely as speculative," said an industry official, who declined to be named.

一位不願透露姓名的行業官員表示：“我擔心的是，不熟悉加密貨幣行業的人可能會認為該行業只是投機性的。”

"While the artificial intelligence agent narrative previously dominated the market, Trump-themed coins are now emerging as the leading trend. There’s growing community support for buying Trump-associated coins," said Hwang Hyo-jun, a researcher at Xangle.

Xangle 研究員黃孝俊(Hwang Hyo-jun) 表示：「雖然人工智慧代理的說法之前主導了市場，但川普主題硬幣現在正在成為主導趨勢。社區對購買川普相關硬幣的支持越來越多。

Following Trump's successful coin launch, some investors speculate that cryptocurrencies linked to Trump or his family could become a trend this year.

在川普成功發行加密貨幣後，一些投資者猜測與川普或其家族相關的加密貨幣可能會成為今年的趨勢。

"I expect to see coins emerging that are closely linked to Trump or his family members, such as Don Jr. or Eric Trump," said an industry official. "Investors seem to be buying any coins that are remotely connected to Trump."

一位行業官員表示：“我預計將會出現與川普或其家族成員（例如小唐或埃里克·川普）密切相關的硬幣。” “投資者似乎正在購買任何與川普有遠端聯繫的代幣。”

However, ethical concerns have been raised, with U.S. lawmakers accusing the Trump family of using political influence to promote personal business ventures. Even within the crypto industry, there is unease about political meme coins.

然而，道德問題引起了人們的關注，美國立法者指責川普家族利用政治影響力促進個人商業投資。即使在加密貨幣產業內，政治迷因硬幣也存在不安。

"Personally, I don't think it's a good thing. I think it’s important for cryptocurrencies to maintain a certain level of dignity," said an official at one of Korea's largest cryptocurrency exchanges.

「我個人認為這不是一件好事。我認為加密貨幣保持一定程度的尊嚴很重要，」韓國最大的加密貨幣交易所之一的一位官員表示。

"I think it’s fine for people to have fun, but I hope they approach it with caution and not get swept up in the hype. I'm worried that this could damage the industry's reputation, which we've worked so hard to build."

“我認為人們玩得開心很好，但我希望他們謹慎對待，不要被炒作所淹沒。我擔心這可能會損害我們辛辛苦苦建立的行業聲譽。 ”

Experts fear that the speculation such coins generate could harm the industry's reputation, particularly as Korea's crypto market moves toward greater institutionalization and self-regulation.

專家擔心，此類代幣產生的投機行為可能會損害該行業的聲譽，特別是在韓國的加密貨幣市場走向更大程度的製度化和自我監管之際。

"I think the listing of Official Trump cannot be dismissed as the 'hasty listing of worthless coins,'" said Daniel Kim, founder and CEO of Tiger Research.

Tiger Research 創辦人兼執行長 Daniel Kim 表示：“我認為，川普官方的上市不能被視為‘草率上市毫無價值的代幣’。”

"We can view this as a natural progression within the market if proper risk disclosures and transparency are ensured, like in the case of Trump coins,” he added.

「如果確保適當的風險揭露和透明度，就像川普硬幣的情況一樣，我們可以將其視為市場內的自然進展，」他補充道。
