公民敦促司法部審查唐納德·特朗普發起的特朗普模因硬幣的合法性

非營利性消費者倡導組織提出了有關總統新加密貨幣特朗普模因硬幣的合法性的疑問。

A progressive think tank has urged the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to scrutinize the legality of the meme coin TRUMP TRUMP/USD launched by President Donald Trump.

一個進步的智囊團敦促美國司法部（DOJ）審查唐納德·特朗普總統發起的模因幣特朗普/美元的合法性。

The nonprofit consumer advocacy group, Public Citizen, has raised questions about the legality of the President’s new cryptocurrency TRUMP meme coin.

非營利性消費者倡導組織，公民公民，對總統新的加密貨幣特朗普模因硬幣的合法性提出了疑問。

The meme coin, which was launched in mid-January, just before Trump assumed office, quickly escalated in value, securing its position as the 41st-largest digital asset by market cap.

該模因硬幣於1月中旬推出，就在特朗普上任之前，迅速升級了價值，確保了其作為市值第41大數字資產的地位。

In a communication to the DOJ and the Office of Government Ethics, officials from Public Citizen proposed that the meme coin might be in violation of federal laws that oversee gifts to government officials.

在與司法部和政府道德辦公室的溝通中，公民公民的官員提出，模因幣可能違反了監督政府官員禮物的聯邦法律。

They highlighted that the TRUMP website clearly states that the meme coins are not meant to be an investment opportunity or security of any kind, but rather a digital receipt.

他們強調說，特朗普網站清楚地表明，模因硬幣並不是任何一種投資機會或任何形式的安全，而是數字收據。

They argue that this is similar to asking for money in return for nothing, which could be interpreted as a personal gift to the President.

他們認為，這類似於要求錢來換取錢，這可以解釋為對總統的個人禮物。

The Constitution prohibits accepting anything of value from foreign state actors, and due to the nature of cryptocurrency exchanges, it’s challenging to ascertain whether foreign entities are gifting the President by buying the memecoin.

憲法禁止接受外國行為者的任何價值，並且由於加密貨幣交流的性質，確定外國實體是否通過購買紀念物來贈送總統是一項挑戰。

Public Citizen’s skepticism is not solitary. Last month, Ethereum ETH/USD founder Vitalik Buterin denounced political coins as “vehicles for unlimited political bribery,” although he did not mention any specific token.

公民的懷疑不是孤獨的。上個月，Ethereum Eth/USD創始人Vitalik Buterin譴責政治硬幣是“無限政治賄賂的車輛”，儘管他沒有提及任何具體的令牌。

The concerns raised by Public Citizen and others underscore the complex legal and ethical issues surrounding political cryptocurrencies.

公共公民和其他人提出的擔憂強調了圍繞政治加密貨幣的複雜法律和道德問題。

The involvement of high-profile individuals such as President Trump further complicates matters, as it raises questions about the potential for misuse of such platforms for personal gain or influence.

諸如特朗普總統等備受矚目的人的參與進一步使事情變得複雜，因為這引發了有關濫用這種平台以獲得個人利益或影響力的疑問。

The outcome of the DOJ’s investigation could have significant implications for the future of political cryptocurrencies.

司法部調查的結果可能會對政治加密貨幣的未來產生重大影響。
