唐納德·特朗普總統和第一夫人梅拉尼婭·特朗普推出自己的數位代幣

唐納德·特朗普總統和第一夫人梅拉尼婭·特朗普在長假週末各自推出了自己的數位代幣，並重新點燃了市場熱情

President Donald Trump and first Lady Melania Trump each launched their own digital tokens over the long holiday weekend and rode renewed market enthusiasm about cryptocurrencies — stoked by campaign promises of a more crypto-friendly environment under the new administration — to billions of dollars in new personal wealth.

美國總統唐納德·川普(Donald Trump) 和第一夫人梅拉尼婭·川普(Melania Trump) 在長假週末各自推出了自己的數位代幣，並利用新政府領導下的對加密貨幣更加友好的競選承諾所激發的市場對加密貨幣的新熱情，推出了數十億美元的新個人代幣。

Trump launched his “Official Trump” meme coin last Friday and it was trading for about $6.50 at its debut, rising to nearly $73 before dropping by about half just ahead of Monday’s inauguration ceremony. As of midday Tuesday, the token was trading for around $40 with a market capitalization of $7.8 billion, according to real-time tracking by CoinGecko.

川普上週五推出了他的「官方川普」表情包硬幣，首次亮相時的交易價格約為 6.50 美元，後來升至近 73 美元，然後在周一的就職典禮前夕下跌了約一半。根據 CoinGecko 的即時跟踪，截至週二中午，該代幣的交易價格約為 40 美元，市值為 78 億美元。

First Lady Melania Trump announced her own meme coin, Melania, on Sunday and the token opened trading at about $7 before moving up to $13 on inauguration day before edging back down. As of midday Tuesday, the Melania token was trading at just under $4.50 and a market capitalization north of $600 million, according to CoinGecko.

第一夫人梅蘭妮亞川普週日宣布推出自己的迷因幣 Melania，該代幣開盤價約為 7 美元，隨後在就職當天升至 13 美元，然後小幅回落。據 CoinGecko 稱，截至週二中午，Melania 代幣的交易價格略低於 4.50 美元，市值超過 6 億美元。

Cryptocurrency exchange platform Coinbase defines meme coins as digital currencies that are “often inspired by internet memes or trends” and “typically characterized by their volatile nature and lack of intrinsic value.”

加密貨幣交易平台 Coinbase 將 meme 幣定義為「通常受到網路 meme 或趨勢啟發」且「通常具有波動性和缺乏內在價值」的數位貨幣。

Is crypto a good investment?

加密貨幣是好的投資嗎？

While Trump is a past critic of cryptocurrencies and at one point warned that investments in the digital tokens were a “scam,” he has since pivoted to being a crypto proponent and made repeated campaign pledges to create a friendly space for the sector. Among his pro-crypto comments was a promise made during a speech at a cryptocurrency conference last summer in Nashville that, under his administration, “the rules will be written by people who love your industry, not hate your industry.”

儘管川普過去是加密貨幣的批評者，並一度警告稱，對數位代幣的投資是一個“騙局”，但他後來轉向成為加密貨幣的支持者，並多次在競選時承諾為該行業創造一個友善的空間。他支持加密貨幣的言論之一是去年夏天在納許維爾舉行的加密貨幣會議上發表演講時做出的承諾，即在他的管理下，「規則將由熱愛你的行業而不是討厭你的行業的人來製定。

Trump made good on that pledge last month, selecting Paul Atkins to head up the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Atkins, who served as an SEC commissioner from 2002 to 2008, is widely known as a strong supporter of the cryptocurrency market.

川普上個月兌現了這項承諾，任命保羅·阿特金斯擔任美國證券交易委員會主席。阿特金斯於 2002 年至 2008 年擔任 SEC 專員，並被廣泛認為是加密貨幣市場的堅定支持者。

Trump highlighted Atkins’ stance on digital currencies in an announcement of the selection, posted on Truth Social in December.

川普在去年 12 月發佈在 Truth Social 上的一則評選公告中強調了阿特金斯對數位貨幣的立場。

“Paul is a proven leader for common sense regulations,” Trump wrote. “He believes in the promise of robust, innovative capital markets that are responsive to the needs of Investors, & that provide capital to make our Economy the best in the World. He also recognizes that digital assets & other innovations are crucial to Making America Greater than Ever Before.”

「保羅是一位公認的常識性監管領導者，」川普寫道。 「他相信穩健、創新的資本市場的承諾，這些市場能夠滿足投資者的需求，並提供資本使我們的經濟成為世界上最好的經濟。他還認識到數位資產和其他創新對於讓美國變得比以往任何時候都至關重要。

In a Tuesday report from CNBC, Kenneth Lamont, a principal at Morningstar, warned investors not to jump into crypto trading without being properly informed about the risks involved.

在 CNBC 週二的一篇報導中，晨星公司的負責人肯尼斯·拉蒙特警告投資者，在沒有充分了解所涉及風險的情況下，不要進入加密貨幣交易。

“If Donald Trump delivers on his election promises, we could see cryptocurrency markets continue to surge. However, investors would do well to resist the siren call of fear of missing out, and sit on their hands,” Lamont said in emailed comments Tuesday.

「如果唐納德·川普兌現他的選舉承諾，我們可能會看到加密貨幣市場繼續飆升。然而，投資者最好抵制住害怕錯過的警報，按兵不動，」拉蒙特週二在電子郵件評論中表示。

Why has cryptocurrency value gone up?

為什麼加密貨幣價值上漲？

Trump’s pro-digital currency stance has fueled value spikes across the cryptocurrency market including Bitcoin, which broke the $100,000 mark for the first time in early December and flirted with $110,000 later in the month before pricing eased a bit. The digital token ended 2024 up over 100% for the year, with about half that gain realized after Trump’s election victory in early November.

川普支持數位貨幣的立場推動了包括比特幣在內的整個加密貨幣市場的價值飆升，比特幣在12 月初首次突破10 萬美元大關，並在當月晚些時候觸及11 萬美元，隨後價格略有回落。截至 2024 年，該數位代幣全年漲幅超過 100%，其中約一半的漲幅是在 11 月初川普贏得大選後實現的。

Bitcoin set another high value benchmark on Monday ahead of the inauguration, rising to over $109,000 before easing later in the day. Some market watchers speculate the release of the Official Trump and Melania meme coins may have led to some downward pressure on Bitcoin value as the new tokens attracted investors interest that may have otherwise stayed on Bitcoin.

週一，比特幣在就職典禮前設定了另一個高價值基準，升至 109,000 美元以上，然後在當天晚些時候回落。一些市場觀察家推測，川普和梅蘭妮亞官方表情包的發布可能會對比特幣價值造成一定的下行壓力，因為新代幣吸引了投資者的興趣，而投資者的興趣原本可能停留在比特幣上。

“Rumors that cryptocurrency may be declared a national interest by the United States during the inauguration are having a positive effect on the price of bitcoin,” Gracy Chen, CEO of crypto exchange Bitget, told CNBC. “I don’t believe the rise in bitcoin’s price is due to the launch of new meme tokens. Rather … without the release of the Trump family tokens, bitcoin’s price would have grown more. Instead, capital shifted to new coins, limiting overall growth.”

加密貨幣交易所 Bitget 首席執行官 Gracy Chen 向 CNBC 表示：“關於美國可能在就職典禮期間宣布加密貨幣為國家利益的傳言對比特幣價格產生了積極影響。” 「我不認為比特幣價格的上漲是由於新的迷因代幣的推出。相反地​​……如果沒有川普家族代幣的發行，比特幣的價格將會上漲更多。相反，資本轉向新幣，限制了整體成長。

Bitcoin’s value was on the rise again on Tuesday, trading for almost $107,00

週二比特幣價格再次上漲，交易價格接近 107 美元
