Tron 創辦人孫宇晨向唐納德·川普的加密貨幣項目 World Liberty Financial 投資 3000 萬美元

Sun 在 X 上的一篇貼文中寫道：“我們很高興能夠向 World Liberty Financial @worldlibertyfi 投資 3000 萬美元，成為其最大投資者。”

Tron blockchain founder Justin Sun has made good on his promise to invest in Donald Trump's crypto project.

Tron 區塊鏈創始人孫宇晨兌現了投資唐納德·川普加密貨幣項目的承諾。

Sun announced Monday that his company is now the largest investor in World Liberty Financial, having pumped $30 million into the venture.

Sun 週一宣布，他的公司現已成為 World Liberty Financial 的最大投資者，已向該合資企業注資 3,000 萬美元。

"We are thrilled to invest $30 million in World Liberty Financial @worldlibertyfi as its largest investor," Sun wrote in a post on the X social network.

「我們很高興能夠向 World Liberty Financial @worldlibertyfi 投資 3000 萬美元，成為其最大投資者，」Sun 在 X 社交網絡上的一篇文章中寫道。

Sun's investment was first flagged by the crypto community last week, when sales of the WLFI token crossed a threshold that would trigger revenue distribution to Trump's LLC.

Sun 的投資於上週首次受到加密貨幣社群的關注，當時 WLFI 代幣的銷售突破了門檻，將觸發川普有限責任公司的收入分配。

At the time, Sun hinted at the investment on X, writing, "U.S. is becoming the blockchain hub, and Bitcoin owes it to @realDonaldTrump. TRON is committed to making America great again and leading innovation. Let's go!"

當時，Sun 暗示了對 X 的投資，寫道：“美國正在成為區塊鏈中心，而比特幣歸功於@realDonaldTrump。TRON 致力於讓美國再次偉大並引領創新。我們走吧！”

World Liberty Financial, the Trump-branded crypto platform, aspires to be a sort of digital asset bank, where customers will be encouraged to borrow, lend and invest in digital coins.

川普品牌的加密貨幣平台 World Liberty Financial 立志成為一種​​數位資產銀行，鼓勵客戶借貸和投資數位貨幣。

Trump has licensed his name and promotional considerations to the venture through an LLC, with no assumption of liability. In exchange, Trump's LLC will receive billions of tokens and the right to 75% of revenues above a $30 million threshold.

川普已透過一家有限責任公司將其姓名和促銷考慮授權給該合資企業，且不承擔任何責任。作為交換，川普的有限責任公司將獲得數十億代幣以及獲得 3,000 萬美元以上收入 75% 的權利。

The platform launched a WLFI token last month, and said in a roadmap that it was looking to raise $300 million at a $1.5 billion valuation in its initial sale.

該平台上個月推出了 WLFI 代幣，並在路線圖中表示，希望在首次銷售中以 15 億美元的估值籌集 3 億美元。

Before Sun's investment, $21.2 million worth of the token had been sold. As of Monday afternoon, $51.2 million worth of the token had been sold, according to its website. Sales now appear to have crossed the $30 million threshold to trigger revenue distribution to Trump's LLC.

在 Sun 投資之前，該代幣已售出價值 2,120 萬美元。據其網站稱，截至週一下午，該代幣已售出價值 5,120 萬美元。現在銷售額似乎已經突破了 3000 萬美元的門檻，觸發了向川普有限責任公司的收入分配。

WLFI co-founder Zachary Folkman has said "well over 100,000 people" are on the whitelist to invest in the token. But as of Monday afternoon, only about 20,400 unique wallet addresses hold the token, according to blockchain data tracked by Etherscan, representing roughly 20% of the total number of people who registered.

WLFI 聯合創始人 Zachary Folkman 表示，「超過 10 萬人」都在投資該代幣的白名單上。但根據 Etherscan 追蹤的區塊鏈數據，截至週一下午，只有約 20,400 個獨特的錢包地址持有該代幣，約佔註冊總人數的 20%。

"There have been a number of similarly significant purchases in recent weeks, and we are confident about future success and building out something that helps to make finance freer and fairer," Folkman said in a statement. "We expect more such developments to happen in the coming weeks and months."

福克曼在一份聲明中表示：“最近幾週發生了許多類似的重大收購，我們對未來的成功充滿信心，並致力於打造有助於使金融更加自由和公平的東西。” “我們預計未來幾週和幾個月內將會發生更多此類進展。”

While Trump does not take office until January, Sun's investment in WLFI, and the revenue it appears to direct to Trump's LLC under the terms disclosed, highlights the way Trump's newer business ventures, like his social media company Trump Media Technology Group and this crypto venture, could offer more direct opportunities for individuals to enrich the president-elect than Trump's hotels and office buildings did.

雖然川普要到一月份才上任，但Sun 對WLFI 的投資，以及根據披露的條款似乎直接流向川普有限責任公司的收入，凸顯了川普的新商業企業的方式，例如他的社群媒體公司Trump Media Technology Group 和這個加密企業與川普的飯店和辦公大樓相比，可以為個人為當選總統致富提供更多直接的機會。

During Trump's first term in office, there were near constant questions about whether foreign governments' lavish spending on rooms and banquets at Trump's Washington, D.C. hotel amounted to violations of the Constitution's "emoluments clause."

在川普的第一個任期內，人們幾乎一直質疑外國政府在川普華盛頓特區酒店的客房和宴會上的大手筆支出是否違反了憲法的「薪資條款」。

The clause bars federal office holders from accepting payments or things of value from foreign governments and their representatives.

該條款禁止聯邦官員接受外國政府及其代表的付款或有價物品。

But Trump's hotel rooms and office space have relatively fixed prices, and costs that cut into total profits.

但川普的飯店客房和辦公空間的價格相對固定，成本也影響了總利潤。

By contrast, the investors in Trump's newer ventures — as demonstrated by Sun's token purchase — can inject tens of millions of dollars, instantly, with little to no cost to Trump.

相比之下，川普新企業的投資者——正如 Sun 的代幣購買所證明的那樣——可以立即註入數千萬美元，而川普幾乎不需要付出任何代價。

Spokespeople for the Trump presidential transition, World Liberty Financial and Sun's Tron did not immediately reply to requests for comment.

川普總統過渡的發言人、世界自由金融公司和 Sun 旗下的 Tron 沒有立即回覆置評請求。

Sun's purchase also comes as Trump is actively working to assemble his list of appointees. The president-elect wrapped up cabinet appointments over the weekend and has since moved on to other agency and department leaders.

Sun 的收購之際，川普正在積極準備他的任命名單。當選總統在周末完成了內閣任命，此後又任命為其他機構和部門的領導人。

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong reportedly met with Trump to discuss appointments on Nov. 18. Within a day, conversations swirled about the potential for Trump to create the White House's first crypto czar.

據報道，Coinbase 執行長布萊恩·阿姆斯壯(Brian Armstrong) 於11 月18 日與川普會面，討論任命事宜。貨幣沙皇。

By the end of the week, longtime crypto foe and SEC Chairman Gary Gensler, whose term doesn't expire until June 2026, announced he would be retiring on Inauguration Day.

到本週末，加密貨幣的長期敵人、SEC 主席加里·詹斯勒 (Gary Gensler) 宣布將於就職日退休，他的任期要到 2026 年 6 月才到期。

Trump has yet to select a nominee to lead the SEC in Gensler's place. Under new leadership, the securities regulator could choose to drop some of its enforcement actions against major crypto ventures. It's unclear how Tron's case could be impacted.

川普尚未選擇一位提名人來接替 Gensler 領導 SEC。在新的領導下，證券監管機構可以選擇放棄對主要加密貨幣企業的一些執法行動。目前尚不清楚 Tron 的案件會受到怎樣的影響。

In March 2023, the commission unveiled fraud and unregistered securities charges against Sun, alongside separate violations against the celebrity backers of his Tronix and BitTorrent crypto assets, which included Jake Paul, Lindsay Lohan and Soulja Boy.

2023 年 3 月，該委員會公佈了針對 Sun 的詐欺和未註冊證券指控，以及針對其 Tronix 和 BitTorrent 加密資產的名人支持者的單獨違規行為，其中包括 Jake Paul、Lindsay Lohan 和 Soulja Boy。
