當選總統川普推出自己的加密貨幣，名為“川普幣”

此次發射有望成為史上最成功的發射之一。不到 24 小時，川普幣從幾美分漲到 30 美元左右

President-elect Donald Trump announced the launch of his own cryptocurrency token, called $Trump coin, late Friday night in a move that is set to become one of the most successful crypto launches in history.

當選總統唐納德·川普於週五深夜宣布推出自己的加密貨幣代幣，名為“特朗普幣”，此舉將成為歷史上最成功的加密貨幣發行之一。

In less than 24 hours, $Trump coin rose from just a few cents to around $30, a staggering 12,000% gain. It now has close to a $6 billion market cap and has seen billions in trading volume. It also now ranks in the top 30 biggest cryptocurrencies in the world by market cap.

在不到 24 小時內，川普幣從幾美分上漲至 30 美元左右，漲幅高達 12,000%。目前它的市值接近 60 億美元，交易量也達到數十億美元。以市值計算，它現在也躋身全球前 30 名最大的加密貨幣之列。

The announcement comes just days before Trump’s inauguration Monday. Trump personally announced the unveiling of the coin via his Truth Social and X accounts at 9:45 p.m. ET Friday, while industry bigwigs were celebrating his return to office at the inaugural Crypto Ball in Washington, D.C.

這一消息是在川普週一就職典禮前幾天宣布的。川普於美國東部時間週五晚上9:45 親自透過他的Truth Social 和X 帳戶宣布了該代幣的面世，而行業大佬們則在華盛頓特區舉行的首屆加密舞會上慶祝他重返辦公室。

Trump is promising to be the most crypto-friendly president in history and has vowed to reverse the Biden administration's so-called regulation by enforcement crackdown on key industry players.

川普承諾成為歷史上對加密貨幣最友善的總統，並誓言透過對關鍵產業參與者的執法打擊來扭轉拜登政府的所謂監管。

Ball attendees included CEOs of various crypto platforms, politicians, a handful of Trump’s new Cabinet members and his son, Donald Trump Jr.

舞會出席者包括各種加密貨幣平台的執行長、政治家、川普的幾位新內閣成員和他的兒子小唐納德·川普。

When the news broke, some attendees were skeptical, speculating that the president-elect’s accounts had been hacked. Donald Trump, Jr., who presumably knew about the announcement, was cordoned off in an exclusive VIP section. It’s unclear whether he spoke to anyone there about Trump coin.

消息傳出後，一些與會者表示懷疑，猜測當選總統的帳號遭到駭客入侵。小唐納德·川普（Donald Trump, Jr.）可能知道這一消息，他被封鎖在專屬 VIP 區域。目前還不清楚他是否與那裡的任何人談論過川普硬幣。

"My NEW Official Trump Meme is HERE! It’s time to celebrate everything we stand for: WINNING! Join my very special Trump Community," the post said, adding a link to a website where visitors can buy the token using a debit card or with crypto.

帖子稱：“我的新官方特朗普模因就在這裡！是時候慶祝我們所代表的一切了：勝利！加入我非常特別的特朗普社區。”並添加了一個網站鏈接，訪問者可以使用金融卡或加密貨幣。

Trump has not commented on the coin since the original announcement. His son, Eric Trump, posted on X Saturday afternoon that the coin is the "hottest digital meme on earth." The president-elect’s X account reposted his son’s comments.

自最初宣布以來，川普尚未對這枚硬幣發表評論。他的兒子 Eric Trump 週六下午在 X 上發文稱，該硬幣是「地球上最熱門的數位迷因」。當選總統的 X 帳號轉發了他兒子的評論。

Two spokespeople for the Trump transition team did not respond to request for comment.

川普過渡團隊的兩名發言人沒有回應置評請求。

The coin, which goes by the trading ticker TRUMP, is known as a "meme coin," a highly speculative kind of cryptocurrency that has no inherent utility and is often created based on a joke or parody, like PEPE, a meme of a picture of a cartoon frog that has a market cap of over $7 billion.

這種代幣的交易代碼為TRUMP，被稱為“迷因幣”，這是一種高度投機性的加密貨幣，沒有固有的效用，通常是基於笑話或模仿而創建的，例如PEPE，一張圖片的迷因一隻市值超過 70 億美元的卡通青蛙。

Sophisticated investors are often wary of meme coins, not just because of their wild price swings, but their propensity for being associated with scammers looking to make a quick buck off exuberant investors. Last month, social media influencer Haliey Welch, better known as the "Hawk Tuah Girl," was sued by investors when the price of her meme coin, Hawk coin, crashed within hours of its introduction, prompting millions in losses.

經驗豐富的投資者往往對迷因幣保持警惕，不僅因為它們的價格波動劇烈，還因為它們容易與那些希望從熱情的投資者身上快速賺錢的騙子聯繫在一起。上個月，社群媒體影響者Haliey Welch（更廣為人知的名字是「Hawk Tuah Girl」）因她的迷因幣Hawk coin 的價格在推出後數小時內暴跌，導致數百萬美元的損失，而被投資人起訴。

According to the coin’s website, affiliates of the Trump Organization, CIC Digital LLC and Fight Fight Fight LLC, collectively own 80% of the coins in circulation, meaning as the price of the token rises, the owners will see significant gains. The website does not mention who will be on the receiving end of the profits.

根據該代幣的網站，川普組織、CIC Digital LLC 和Fight Fight Fight LLC 的附屬公司總共擁有流通中80% 的代幣，這意味著隨著代幣價格的上漲，所有者將獲得顯著收益。該網站沒有提及誰將成為利潤的接收者。

However, the fact Trump is making money off retail investors could raise red flags for regulators and senators like Elizabeth Warren, a fierce critic of the crypto industry.

然而，川普從散戶投資者身上賺錢的事實可能會給監管機構和加密貨幣行業的激烈批評者伊麗莎白·沃倫（Elizabeth Warren）等參議員帶來危險信號。

Last summer, another meme coin, DJT, rumored to be associated with the President-elect, was introduced on the Solana blockchain. The coin was created by convicted fraudster "Pharma Bro" Martin Shkreli and not Trump or his son, Barron, as Shkreli had claimed.

去年夏天，另一種迷因幣 DJT 被引入 Solana 區塊鏈，據傳與當選總統有關。這枚硬幣是由被定罪的欺詐者“Pharma Bro”馬丁·施克萊利（Martin Shkreli）創造的，而不是施克萊利聲稱的特朗普或他的兒子巴倫（Barron）。

Trump’s announcement has received mixed reviews so far. Some of his loyal fans in the crypto community are praising the move, saying it promotes the Solana blockchain and will likely bring new users into the crypto space who want to own a piece of the first crypto-friendly president’s token.

迄今為止，川普的聲明收到的評價褒貶不一。他在加密社群中的一些忠實粉絲對此舉表示讚賞，稱此舉促進了 Solana 區塊鏈，並可能將希望擁有第一個加密友好型總統代幣的新用戶帶入加密領域。

Others are publicly criticizing it, some even calling it a gratuitous cash grab by Trump, who has already received millions from the crypto industry on the campaign trail after he courted it with promises of deregulation.

其他人公開批評它，有些人甚至稱這是川普無端的現金攫取，川普在競選期間已經從加密行業獲得了數百萬美元，此前他承諾放鬆監管。

But major exchanges such as Kraken are already making the token available to trade on its platform. It’s unclear whether Coinbase, the nation's largest cryptocurrency exchange, will follow suit.

但 Kraken 等主要交易所已經允許該代幣在其平台上進行交易。目前尚不清楚美國最大的加密貨幣交易所 Coinbase 是否會效仿。

Meanwhile, investors in Trump coin have already made massive returns from the rapid price increase. One trader made $1.1 million from an initial investment of $150,000, and another turned $800 into $310,000, according to the financial newsletter The Kobeissi Letter.

與此同時，川普幣的投資者已經從價格的快速上漲中獲得了巨額回報。根據金融時事通訊《科比西信函》報道，一名交易員從 15 萬美元的初始投資中賺了 110 萬美元，而另一位交易員則將 800 美元變成了 31 萬美元。

"Whether you agree with the move or not, the fact of the matter is that the leader of the free world just essentially put his stamp of approval on Solana and on meme culture," said Frank Chaparro, director of special projects at crypto publication The Block.

加密貨幣出版物特別項目總監 Frank Chaparro 表示：「無論你是否同意這一舉措，事實是，自由世界的領導人實際上只是對 Solana 和 meme 文化表示了認可。」堵塞。

Perhaps coincidentally, Trump chose to introduce the meme coin on SEC Chairman Gary Gensler’

也許巧合的是，川普選擇在 SEC 主席加里詹斯勒 (Gary Gensler) 身上推出迷因幣。
