在2024年，Meme硬幣成為加密貨幣行業最交易和討論的方面之一。評論家認為，他們給行業帶來了不好的形象。

In 2024, meme coins became one of the most traded and discussed aspects of the cryptocurrency sector. Critics argue they give the industry a bad image. Others enjoy the gambling thrills and, at times, mind-boggling returns. If and when the U.S. government steps in to regulate this controversial industry, what will the outcome look like?

在2024年，Meme硬幣成為加密貨幣行業最交易和討論的方面之一。評論家認為，他們給行業帶來了不好的形象。其他人則喜歡賭博的刺激，有時甚至是令人難以置信的回報。如果以及何時美國政府介入來規範這個有爭議的行業，結果會是什麼樣？

When the crypto sector earned the moniker “Wild West,” meme coins were to blame. Thousands of new tokens are created daily via platforms like Pump.Fun. Investors — a mix of retail traders, crypto insiders, influencers, and sometimes institutional players — all hope to get an unlikely jackpot.

當加密貨幣領域獲得了綽號“ Wild West”時，應該歸咎於Meme硬幣。每天通過pump.fun等平台創建數千個新令牌。投資者 - 零售商人，加密貨幣內部人士，有影響力的人，有時甚至是機構參與者的混合在一起 - 都希望能獲得不太可能的頭獎。

Meme coin opponents also blame the space for being a distraction from the higher-quality projects across the crypto sector. For example, the pre-inauguration launch of the Official Trump (TRUMP) token exemplifies this trend.

Meme Coin的對手還指責該空間分散了加密貨幣領域的高質量項目的注意力。例如，官方特朗普（特朗普）代幣的上市啟動舉例說明了這一趨勢。

“The crypto sector put someone in power whose first act is to emphasize and take advantage of the opportunity for grift within crypto,” Angela Walch, a crypto researcher, told Time. “And that’s just embarrassing.”

加密研究員安吉拉·沃爾奇（Angela Walch）告訴《時代》：“加密貨幣部門將執政的人掌權，他們的第一行動是強調和利用Grift的機會。” “那真是令人尷尬。”

The meshing of meme coins and politics isn’t exclusive to the U.S. In Argentina, President Javier Milei promoted the Libra token, which rose to $4.50 before plummeting in value.

在阿根廷，模因硬幣和政治不是美國獨有的。

As Lyn Alden, the founder of Lyn Alden Investment Strategy, put it in January: “The same bearish [traditional finance] accounts that dismissed bitcoin due to mostly unrelated ICOs, DeFi, and NFTs, will now dismiss it due to meme coins.”

正如Lyn Alden Investment Strategy的創始人Lyn Alden在一月份所說：“同樣的看跌[傳統金融]帳戶，由於主要是無關的ICO，DEFI和NFT而駁回了比特幣的說法，現在由於Meme Coins而將其駁回。”

Having watched this space since 2017, I see a lot of the same patterns.The same bearish tradfi accounts that dismissed bitcoin due to mostly unrelated ICOs, DeFi, and NFTs, will now dismiss it due to meme coins.When they could just buy it and beat their own portfolios.

自2017年以來觀看了這個空間之後，我看到了很多相同的模式。相同的看跌tradfi帳戶，由於大多數不相關的ICO，DEFI和NFTS而駁回了比特幣，現在由於Meme Coins而將其駁回，他們只能購買並擊敗自己的投資組合。

Democrats speak up

民主黨人大聲說

Feb. 27 was marked with two important events in the meme coins space. First, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) said that the securities regulations will not adhere to meme coins.

2月27日在模因硬幣空間中有兩個重要事件。首先，美國證券交易委員會（SEC）表示，證券法規將不遵守模因硬幣。

Second, the MEME Act proposal from Democrats aims to block American officials from launching their own meme coins, as Trump did before the inauguration. Are these events conflicting, and are meme coins so problematic? Let’s break it down.

其次，民主黨的《模因法案》的提議旨在阻止美國官員發起自己的模因硬幣，就像特朗普在就職典禮之前所做的那樣。這些事件是否矛盾，模因硬幣如此有問題？讓我們分解。

The Official Trump token launch was controversial. Some saw it as a bold signal from the then-president-elect that he was ready to embrace crypto. However, many in the crypto community booed the move as a blatant “grift” considering the price dropped in value within just a few days.

官方的特朗普代幣發射引起了爭議。有些人將其視為當時總統的大膽信號，他準備接受加密貨幣。但是，考慮到僅幾天之內的價格下跌，加密貨幣社區中的許多人都以公然的“ grift”振作起來。

The New York Times names $2 billion collectively lost by over 800,000 people who invested in the Trump coin.

《紐約時報》（New York Times）命名為20億美元，損失了80萬人投資於特朗普硬幣的人。

Another important point of criticism was that the Official Trump token could line Trump’s pockets. Foreign political actors may bribe him effortlessly by buying TRUMP tokens in bulk (Trump signed an executive order freezing enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act).

批評的另一個重要點是，官方的特朗普代幣可以在特朗普的口袋裡排列。外國政治行為者可以通過批量購買特朗普的代幣毫不費力地賄賂他（特朗普簽署了一項行政命令凍結對《外國腐敗行為法》的執行）。

Various Democratic representatives are speaking up. California Democrat Rep. Sam Liccardo introduced the bill aimed to stop U.S. officials from creating tokens. Liccardo stressed that Trump’s meme coin “raises concerns about transparency, insider trading, and improper foreign influence.”

各種民主代表正在大聲疾呼。加利福尼亞民主黨眾議員薩姆·列卡多（Sam Liccardo）提出了該法案，旨在阻止美國官員創建令牌。 Liccardo強調，特朗普的模因硬幣“引起了人們對透明度，內部交易和不當外國影響力的擔憂。”

The bill, which is going to be named Modern Emoluments and Malfeasance Enforcement, or MEME Act, exists now only as a draft. The act is set to block the POTUS, Congress members, and other top officials and members of their families from launching cryptocurrencies.

該法案將被命名為現代埃默爾（Modern Emoluments）和瀆職執法或模因法案，現在僅作為草稿存在。該法案將阻止POTUS，國會議員和其他頂級官員及其家庭成員發起加密貨幣。

More than that, the bill will block them from issuing or sponsoring both securities and commodities. The profits generated by Trump via the Official Trump token must be disgorged.

不僅如此，該法案將阻止他們發行或贊助證券和商品。特朗普通過官方特朗普代幣產生的利潤必須被撤銷。

Although Liccardo doesn’t think that the Republican-controlled House of Representatives will support the bill now, he believes it can happen later when “the cult of Trump” will start to degrade and more Republicans will turn against him. The same week, it became known that the Trump family is going to create a branded metaverse that will include the NFT marketplace.

儘管Liccardo並不認為現在由共和黨控制的眾議院支持該法案，但他認為，當“特朗普的邪教”將開始降級，而更多的共和黨人會反對他，這可能會在以後發生。同一周，眾所周知，特朗普家族將創建一個品牌的元評估，其中將包括NFT市場。

Was Gensler’s SEC too easy on meme coins?

Gensler的SEC在模因硬幣上太容易了嗎？

Critics of the Biden-era crypto policies share a viewpoint that the Gary Gensler-led SEC deliberately ignored harmful meme coins while hunting down legitimate crypto brands like Ripple and Coinbase.

拜登時代加密政策的批評者有一個觀點，即加里·蓋斯勒（Gary Gensler）領導的SEC故意忽略了有害的模因硬幣，同時追捕了像Ripple和Coinbase這樣的合法加密品牌。

This theory suggests that the governmental agencies didn’t go after the thriving meme coin market as it served as a boogeyman to turn people against cryptocurrencies per se. People were investing in meme coins and losing money. It was creating a favorable background for the SEC and served as a good excuse to suppress legitimate crypto projects.

該理論表明，政府機構並沒有追隨繁榮的模因硬幣市場，因為它是boogeyman，可以使人們反對加密貨幣本身。人們正在投資模因硬幣和虧損。它為SEC創造了有利的背景，並作為壓制合法加密項目的好藉口。
