唐納德·特朗普總統及其家人推出特朗普品牌的加密貨幣

該代幣名為“川普”，最初於週五上市，價格為 6.54 美元，最終在周日飆升至 73.43 美元的峰值。

President Donald Trump and his family have launched their own Trump-branded cryptocurrency just days ahead of his inauguration.

唐納德·特朗普總統及其家人在就職典禮前幾天推出了自己的川普品牌加密貨幣。

The coin, named $Trump, was initially listed on Friday at a price of $6.54, before eventually skyrocketing to a peak valuation of $73.43 on Sunday. As Axios noted in their coverage, a Trump-affiliated company owns 80% of the coin's supply, meaning that Trump and his associates briefly gained $50 billion in on-paper wealth.

該代幣名為“川普”，最初於週五上市，價格為 6.54 美元，最終在周日飆升至 73.43 美元的峰值。正如 Axios 在報告中指出的那樣，一家與川普有關的公司擁有該代幣 80% 的供應量，這意味著川普及其同夥短暫獲得了 500 億美元的紙面財富。

Trump previously called cryptocurrency a scam in 2020, but began to change his tune while on the campaign trail, where he promised to turn the U.S. into the "crypto capital" of the world.

川普先前曾在 2020 年稱加密貨幣為騙局，但在競選期間開始改變論調，承諾將美國變成世界「加密貨幣之都」。

His wife, Melania Trump, also launched her owned eponymously branded cryptocurrency on Sunday night, but it has failed to see the same kind of initial success as her husband's coin.

他的妻子梅拉尼婭·川普(Melania Trump)也在周日晚上推出了她擁有的同名品牌的加密貨幣，但它未能取得與她丈夫的加密貨幣相同的初步成功。

“I am extremely proud of what we continue to accomplish in crypto,” Eric Trump said in a statement to The New York Times. “$Trump is currently the hottest digital meme on earth.”

埃里克·川普在給《紐約時報》的聲明中表示：“我對我們在加密領域繼續取得的成就感到非常自豪。” “$Trump 是目前地球上最熱門的數位模因。”

While Trump and his supporters largely appear very supportive of his nascent crypto ventures, those in the crypto space as a whole have voiced mixed opinions.

雖然川普和他的支持者在很大程度上似乎非常支持他新生的加密貨幣企業，但整個加密貨幣領域的人們卻表達了不同的意見。

Most notably, critics of the new coin are stating that they feel that the move is merely an attempt by Trump to cash-in on his rabid base of supporters. Specifically, they point to Trump and his associates owning the vast majority of the available coins as a tell-tale sign of a pump-and-dump scheme.

最值得注意的是，新硬幣的批評者表示，他們認為此舉僅僅是川普試圖利用其狂熱支持者群體獲利的嘗試。具體來說，他們指出川普及其同夥擁有絕大多數可用硬幣，這是拉高拋售計畫的明顯跡象。

“Trump owning 80 percent and timing launch hours before inauguration is  predatory and many will likely get hurt by it,” writes Nick Tomaino, a former executive at Coinbase, a leading crypto trading platform, on Xitter.

領先的加密貨幣交易平台Coinbase 前高管尼克·托馬諾(Nick Tomaino) 在Xitter 上寫道：「川普擁有80% 的股份，並將發佈時間安排在就職典禮之前，這是一種掠奪性行為，許多人可能會因此受到傷害。
