當選總統唐納德·川普推出了一種加密貨幣代幣，其價值一夜之間飆升

該產品的發布表明了川普將大力擁抱加密貨幣行業，以及他在準備上任時可能會跨越的模糊道德界限。

President-elect Donald Trump on Friday night launched a cryptocurrency token that soared in value overnight.

當選總統唐納德·川普週五晚上推出了一種加密貨幣代幣，一夜之間價值飆升。

A Trump-owned company now appears to own tens of billions of dollars in the new memecoin, which is set to increase in circulation over the next three years.

川普旗下的一家公司現在似乎擁有價值數百億美元的新迷因幣，該迷因幣的流通量將在未來三年內增加。

Trump's financial ties to crypto come as he is vowing to enact an array of policies that would benefit the industry.

川普與加密貨幣的財務聯繫是在他發誓要製定一系列有利於該行業的政策之際出現的。

A president-elect launching a new business product is a highly unusual move, and it is a major concern for ethics watchdogs.

當選總統推出新的商業產品是一個極不尋常的舉動，也是道德監管機構的主要關注點。

President-elect Donald Trump late Friday launched a cryptocurrency token that exploded in value overnight, potentially increasing his net worth by tens of billions of dollars on paper just days before he is set to be sworn in as president.

當選總統唐納德·川普週五晚間推出了一種加密貨幣代幣，該代幣的價值一夜之間暴漲，就在他即將宣誓就任總統的幾天前，他的紙面淨資產可能會增加數百億美元。

Trump launched the so-called memecoin — a digital token with no intrinsic real-world value that is traded on a digital ledger technology called blockchain — with posts on his social media site and X after 9 p.m., prompting the asset to soar in value. Its market capitalization was above $5 billion as of 2:30 p.m. Saturday, according to data from CoinGecko, and it has seen more than $11 billion in trading volume.

川普推出了所謂的迷因幣（memecoin）——一種沒有內在現實價值的數位代幣，透過稱為區塊鏈的數位帳本技術進行交易——晚上9 點後在他的社交媒體網站和X 上發布帖子，促使該資產價值飆升。根據 CoinGecko 的數據，截至週六下午 2:30，其市值已超過 50 億美元，交易量超過 110 億美元。

A Trump-owned company called CIC Digital LLC owns 80 percent of the coin’s supply, according to its website. Two hundred million of the tokens are currently available, with the circulation set to grow to 1 billion over the next three years, according to the site.

據川普旗下一家名為 CIC Digital LLC 的公司網站稱，該公司擁有 80% 的代幣供應量。據該網站稱，目前有 2 億枚代幣可供使用，未來三年發行量將增加至 10 億枚。

The product launch illustrates the lengths Trump is going to embrace the crypto industry and the blurred ethical lines he may be crossing as he prepares to take office. He has previously sold crypto trading cards and his sons launched a digital asset company called World Liberty Financial last August. He also spoke at a major bitcoin conference during the campaign.

該產品的發布表明了川普將大力擁抱加密貨幣行業，以及他在準備上任時可能會跨越的模糊道德界限。他先前曾銷售加密貨幣交易卡，他的兒子們在去年八月創辦了一家名為 World Liberty Financial 的數位資產公司。他還在競選期間的一次重要比特幣會議上發表了演講。

His financial ties to crypto come as he is vowing to enact an array of policies that would benefit the industry, including overhauling how digital assets are regulated and having the government stockpile bitcoin.

他與加密貨幣的財務聯繫出現之際，他發誓要製定一系列有利於該行業的政策，包括徹底改革數位資產的監管方式以及讓政府儲備比特幣。

The new memecoin's fully diluted value — the market capitalization of the coin if all tokens were in circulation — was more than $27 billion as of 2:30 p.m. Saturday, according to CoinGecko data, with the price of the token at just above $27. At that price, Trump's company controlled more than $20 billion worth of the asset.

根據 CoinGecko 的數據，截至週六下午 2:30，新 memecoin 的完全稀釋價值（如果所有代幣都在流通的話，該代幣的市值）超過 270 億美元，代幣價格略高於 27 美元。以這個價格，川普的公司控制著價值超過 200 億美元的資產。

Leading figures in the digital asset industry were gathered at a sold-out unofficial inaugural ball put on by crypto firms when Trump began promoting the coin Friday night. Trump’s incoming crypto and AI czar, venture capitalist David Sacks, told attendees at the event that “the reign of terror against crypto is over, and the beginning of innovation in America for crypto has just begun,” according to a video of his remarks posted on X. Crypto firms have also shelled out at least $10 million to Trump’s inaugural fund, and some top executives are expected to attend his swearing-in on Monday.

當川普週五晚上開始推廣加密貨幣時，數位資產產業的領導者聚集在由加密貨幣公司舉辦的一場座無虛席的非官方就職舞會上。根據發布的一段演講視頻，川普即將上任的加密貨幣和人工智慧沙皇、風險投資家戴維·薩克斯(David Sacks)在活動中告訴與會者，「針對加密貨幣的恐怖統治已經結束，美國加密貨幣創新的開始才剛開始」加密貨幣公司也向川普的首個基金投入了至少 1000 萬美元，一些高層預計將參加他週一的宣誓就職典禮。

A president-elect launching a new business product is a highly unusual move, and it is a major concern for ethics watchdogs, who say Trump stands to profit from policy changes he is poised to usher in.

當選總統推出新的商業產品是一個極不尋常的舉動，也是道德監管機構的主要擔憂，他們表示川普將從他即將推出的政策變化中獲利。

“It is absolutely wild,” said Jordan Libowitz, vice president for communications at the nonprofit Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. “After decades of seeing presidents-elect spend the time leading up to inauguration separating themselves from their finances to show that they don’t have any conflicts of interest, we now have a president-elect who, the weekend before inauguration, is launching new businesses along with promises to deregulate … those sectors in a way to just blatantly profit off his own presidency.”

「這絕對是瘋狂的，」華盛頓非營利組織「公民責任與道德」負責通訊的副總裁喬丹·利博維茨(Jordan Libowitz)說。 「幾十年來，當選總統在就職典禮前花時間將自己與財務分開，以表明他們沒有任何利益衝突，現在我們有了一位當選總統，他在就職前的周末推出了新的計劃。並承諾放鬆對這些行業的監管……以公然從他自己的總統任期中獲利。

Some Trump critics in the crypto sector also worry that the product is a bad look. Anthony Scaramucci, a crypto evangelist who briefly served as Trump’s communications director in his first term before turning into a fierce critic, wrote on X Saturday that it “is bad for the industry.”

加密貨幣領域的一些川普批評者也擔心該產品外觀不佳。加密貨幣佈道者安東尼·斯卡拉穆奇(Anthony Scaramucci)在川普第一個任期內曾短暫擔任川普的通訊總監，後來成為一名激烈的批評者，他在《週六》上寫道，這「對整個產業不利」。

"Don’t delude yourself. It’s Idi Amin level corruption,” he wrote, referring to the former Ugandan dictator.

「不要欺騙自己。這是伊迪·阿明級別的腐敗，」他寫道，指的是這位前烏幹達獨裁者。

Trump’s transition team did not immediately respond to a request for comment Saturday.

川普的過渡團隊週六沒有立即回應置評請求。
