唐納德·特朗普總統和他的妻子推出模因幣後，他在加密貨幣行業的地位受到損害

加密貨幣產業在拜登政府領導下面臨挑戰，並花費大量資源支持川普的競選活動，曾希望得到他的支持

President Donald Trump's standing in the cryptocurrency industry has been damaged following the launch of meme coins by him and his wife, a move that critics describe as a cash grab that undermines the industry's efforts to gain legitimacy.

唐納德·特朗普總統和他的妻子推出模因幣後，他在加密貨幣行業的地位受到損害，批評者稱此舉是搶錢行為，破壞了該行業獲得合法性的努力。

The crypto industry, which had faced challenges under the Biden administration and spent significant resources to support Trump's campaign, had hoped for his backing to make digital assets a more integral part of the US financial system.

加密產業在拜登政府領導下面臨挑戰，並花費大量資源支持川普的競選，曾希望得到他的支持，使數位資產成為美國金融體系中更不可或缺的一部分。

Trump had promised a more relaxed regulatory approach and appointed pro-crypto officials to key positions in government.

川普承諾採取更寬鬆的監管方式，並任命支持加密貨幣的官員擔任政府關鍵職位。

The value of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies surged after Trump's victory, and a lavish “Crypto Ball” before his inauguration, featuring a performance by rapper Snoop Dogg, attracted attention.

在川普獲勝後，比特幣和其他加密貨幣的價值飆升，而他就職前一場由說唱歌手 Snoop Dogg 表演的奢華「加密舞會」引起了人們的關注。

However, during the event, Trump announced on social media that he was launching his own meme coin, a decision that disappointed many in the crypto community.

然而，在活動期間，川普在社群媒體上宣布，他將推出自己的迷因幣，這項決定令加密社群的許多人感到失望。

“I really was kind of bummed out when I saw it,” said Tom Schmidt, a partner at Dragonfly, a crypto venture capital firm. “It just felt very grifty and cheap.”

「當我看到它時，我真的有點沮喪，」加密創投公司 Dragonfly 的合夥人湯姆·施密特 (Tom Schmidt) 說。 “感覺非常骯髒和廉價。”

Some crypto enthusiasts even joked that they missed Gary Gensler, the former chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), who had been seen as the Biden administration's crypto antagonist due to the SEC's aggressive stance against crypto firms.

一些加密貨幣愛好者甚至開玩笑說，他們懷念美國證券交易委員會（SEC）前主席加里·詹斯勒（Gary Gensler），由於SEC 對加密貨幣公司採取咄咄逼人的立場，他被視為拜登政府的加密貨幣對手。

Meme coins, often born out of jokes, lack real value but can experience price surges if enough people invest in them. Popular meme coins like Dogecoin and Fartcoin have been the subject of scams, with investors being deceived into buying coins only for the prices to plummet.

迷因幣通常誕生於笑話，缺乏真正的價值，但如果有足夠的人投資它們，價格可能會飆升。像狗狗幣和放屁幣這樣流行的迷因幣一直是詐騙的對象，投資者被欺騙購買硬幣，結果價格卻暴跌。

The release of Trump’s meme coin initially caused a surge in price, reaching over $70 per coin, but this was followed by a steep decline after First Lady Melania Trump introduced her own meme coin. By Tuesday afternoon, Trump's meme coin was trading at about $45, while Melania's was valued at $4.

川普的迷因幣的發布最初導致價格飆升，每枚幣超過 70 美元，但在第一夫人梅拉尼婭·川普推出自己的迷因幣後，價格急劇下跌。截至週二下午，川普的表情包幣的交易價格約為 45 美元，而梅蘭妮亞的表情包幣的價格為 4 美元。

Trump's recent appointment of SEC Commissioner Mark Uyeda as the agency's acting chief was followed by the announcement of a new crypto task force, signaling a push toward a more sensible regulatory approach. Trump has promised to establish a US bitcoin stockpile and implement regulations to support crypto businesses in accessing broader financial markets.

川普最近任命美國證券交易委員會委員馬克·烏耶達（Mark Uyeda）為該機構代理負責人，隨後又宣布成立新的加密貨幣特別工作組，這標誌著美國將推動採取更明智的監管方法。川普承諾建立美國比特幣庫存並實施法規以支持加密貨幣企業進入更廣泛的金融市場。

However, some crypto supporters worry that by associating with meme coins, Trump risks damaging his ability to drive meaningful reforms.

然而，一些加密貨幣支持者擔心，透過與迷因幣聯繫起來，川普可能會損害他推動有意義的改革的能力。

“Now, on the cusp of getting some liberalization of crypto regulations in this country, the main thing people are thinking about crypto is, ‘Oh, it’s just a casino for these meme coins,’” said Nic Carter, a Trump supporter and partner at Castle Island Ventures. “It does the opposite of validating us, it makes it look completely unserious.”

川普的支持者兼合夥人尼克卡特(Nic Carter) 表示：「現在，在這個國家即將放開加密貨幣監管的風口浪尖上，人們對加密貨幣的主要思考是，'哦，這只是這些迷因幣的賭場。 “這與驗證我們相反，它讓它看起來完全不嚴肅。”

The sale of Trump's meme coin is being organized by CIC Digital, an affiliate of the Trump Organization. The website for the coin promotes it as a fun expression of support, rather than an investment opportunity. It also notes that 200 million Trump meme coins are available, with plans to release 1 billion over the next three years.

川普表情包硬幣的銷售由川普集團的附屬機構 CIC Digital 組織。該硬幣的網站將其宣傳為有趣的支持表達，而不是一個投資機會。它還指出，現有 2 億枚川普表情包硬幣可供使用，並計劃在未來三年內發行 10 億枚。

The Trump Organization has recently implemented an ethics agreement that limits Trump's involvement in day-to-day business decisions and restricts financial information shared with him while he serves as president.

川普集團最近實施了一項道德協議，限制川普參與日常商業決策，並限制在他擔任總統期間與他分享財務資訊。

In addition to Trump and Melania, Michigan pastor Lorenzo Sewell, who delivered an inaugural invocation, launched his own cryptocurrency, named after him, which he claimed would benefit his church.

除了川普和梅蘭妮亞之外，密西根州牧師洛倫佐·休厄爾(Lorenzo Sewell)發表了就職祈禱，推出了自己的加密貨幣，以他的名字命名，他聲稱這將使他的教會受益。
