川普總統否認了有關他在推出新加密貨幣代幣後賺了數十億美元的報道

兩天后，第一夫人梅蘭妮亞·川普推出了她的加密貨幣 $MELANIA。週二，當記者問他是否計劃在擔任總統期間繼續銷售對他個人有利的產品時，川普回答說：“我不知道是否會受益。”

President Donald Trump on Tuesday dismissed reports that he made billions after launching his new cryptocurrency token last week, as his wife, First Lady Melania Trump, also launched her own cryptocurrency called $MELANIA.

唐納德·特朗普總統週二否認了有關他上週推出新的加密貨幣代幣後賺了數十億美元的報道，因為他的妻子第一夫人梅拉尼婭·特朗普也推出了自己的加密貨幣$MELANIA。

When a reporter asked Trump if he planned to continue selling products that personally benefit him during his presidency, he replied, “I don’t know if it benefited.”

當記者問川普是否打算在總統任期內繼續銷售對他個人有利的產品時，他回答說：“我不知道是否受益。”

“I don’t know where it is. I don’t know much about it other than I launched it,” he added. “I heard it was very successful. I haven’t checked it. Where is it today?”

「我不知道它在哪裡。除了我推出了它之外，我對它了解不多，」他補充道。 「我聽說這次活動非常成功。我沒查過。今天在哪裡？

After being told that he might have made billions from his meme coin, the president chuckled and said, “That’s peanuts for these guys,” referring to the tech billionaires who were present to help him announce a new artificial intelligence initiative.

在被告知他可能從他的模因幣中賺了數十億美元後，總統笑著說：“這對這些人來說簡直就是小菜一碟”，他指的是在場幫助他宣布一項新的人工智慧計劃的科技億萬富翁。

Trump unveiled the token, which he dubbed “$TRUMP,” on Friday, inviting his followers to “Join my very special Trump Community.” According to CoinMarketCap, the market capitalization of the president’s coin currently stands at $8.32 billion, while Melania’s token has reached $777 million.

週五，川普推出了他稱之為「$TRUMP」的代幣，邀請他的追隨者「加入我非常特別的川普社群」。根據 CoinMarketCap 的數據，總統代幣的市值目前為 83.2 億美元，而梅蘭妮亞的代幣已達 7.77 億美元。

However, some members of the crypto industry have raised concerns about the glaring conflict of interest, as Trump now has the authority to set policies that could impact the crypto industry while also standing to benefit directly from the sale of the Trump family’s tokens.

然而，加密產業的一些成員對明顯的利益衝突表示擔憂，因為川普現在有權制定可能影響加密產業的政策，同時也可以直接從川普家族代幣的銷售中受益。

“It is literally cashing in on the presidency — creating a financial instrument so people can transfer money to the president’s family in connection with his office,” Adav Noti, executive director of a nonprofit ethics group, Campaign Legal Center, told The New York Times. “It is beyond unprecedented.”

非營利道德組織競選法律中心的執行董事阿達夫·諾蒂（Adav Noti）告訴《紐約時報》：「這實際上是在利用總統職位來賺錢——創造一種金融工具，讓人們可以向總統的家人轉移與他的辦公室有關的資金。 “這是前所未有的。”

The website for Trump’s meme coin, on the other hand, includes a disclaimer stating that the cryptocurrency “is not political and has nothing to do with any political campaign or any political office or governmental agency.”

另一方面，川普模因幣的網站包含一份免責聲明，指出該加密貨幣「不是政治性的，與任何政治競選或任何政治辦公室或政府機構無關」。

“Trump Memes are intended to function as an expression of support for, and engagement with, the ideals and beliefs embodied by the symbol ‘$TRUMP,'” it reads.

「川普迷因旨在表達對『$TRUMP』符號所體現的理想和信仰的支持和參與，」它寫道。

During his 2024 run for the White House, Trump courted crypto firms, which, according to the nonprofit watchdog Public Citizen, contributed nearly half of the $274 million in corporate money raised during this year's elections. The president, who dubbed himself "the crypto president," also vowed to make America "the crypto capital of the planet."

在 2024 年競選白宮期間，川普向加密貨幣公司示好，據非營利監管機構 Public Citizen 稱，這些公司貢獻了今年選舉期間籌集的 2.74 億美元企業資金的近一半。這位自稱為「加密總統」的總統還發誓要讓美國成為「地球的加密之都」。
