隨著當選總統準備撤銷加密貨幣法規，川普幣引發了一系列道德和法律問題

評論家和分析師質疑即將上任的總統擁有此類金融資產是否會造成潛在的利益衝突。

President-elect Donald Trump has launched his own cryptocurrency token, sparking a flurry of ethical and legal concerns over his ownership of such a financial asset.

當選總統唐納德·川普推出了自己的加密貨幣代幣，引發了人們對他擁有這種金融資產的一系列道德和法律擔憂。

The incoming president's new coin, dubbed $TRUMP, was trading at around $75 a pop on Monday morning, according to CoinGecko, after being unveiled on Friday with a starting price of $20.24.

據 CoinGecko 稱，這位即將上任的總統的新代幣被稱為“川普”，週五發布後，其起價為 20.24 美元，週一早上的交易價格約為 75 美元/枚。

Priced in a nod to Trump's victory in the 2024 election on November 7, the meme coin—a cryptocurrency whose value is typically linked to community enthusiasm rather than inherent utility—has seen its value soar since its launch.

這款Meme 幣的定價是為了紀念川普在11 月7 日贏得2024 年大選，它是一種加密貨幣，其價值通常與社區熱情而非內在效用相關，自推出以來，其價值一直在飆升。

This price crashed later on Monday, however, after Melania Trump launched her own cryptocurrency token, named $MELANIA, priced at $49 a coin as of 7:44 a.m. ET.

然而，週一晚些時候，梅拉尼婭·川普推出了自己的加密貨幣代幣 $MELANIA，截至東部時間上午 7:44，每枚代幣的價格為 49 美元，此後價格暴跌。

According to a disclaimer on the Trump Meme website, Trump Organization-affiliated entities own 80 percent of the cryptocurrency, set to earn profits from the "trading revenue" generated through sales.

根據 Trump Meme 網站上的免責聲明，川普組織附屬實體擁有 80% 的加密貨幣，將從銷售產生的「交易收入」中賺取利潤。

On Sunday, Axios reported that the massive trading volume seen since its launch has led the $TRUMP coin to account for "about 89 percent" of Trump's net worth.

週日，Axios 報道稱，自推出以來的巨大交易量導致川普幣佔川普淨資產的「約 89%」。

Trump, who previously slammed cryptocurrency as "highly volatile and based on thin air," has framed his incoming administration as profoundly pro-crypto.

川普此前曾抨擊加密貨幣“高度波動且憑空而來”，現在他將即將上任的政府形容為極度支持加密貨幣。

As well as appointing the nation's first ever AI and crypto czar, the president-elect has vowed to enact policies that are more favorable to the industry.

除了任命美國首位人工智慧和加密貨幣沙皇外，當選總統還誓言要製定更有利於該行業的政策。

"We will craft new policies—not from people who hate your industry, but who love your industry," Trump told the crowd at the Bitcoin Conference 2024.

川普在 2024 年比特幣會議上對人群表示：“我們將制定新政策，不是由討厭你的行業的人制定，而是由熱愛你的行業的人制定。”

This rhetorical support has won Trump the backing of prominent individuals in the crypto sphere, with trading platforms like Ripple, Coinbase and Robinhood donating significant sums to the president's inaugural fund, with other industry sponsors hosting the Crypto Ball on Friday to celebrate the inauguration.

這種口頭上的支持為川普贏得了加密領域知名人士的支持，Ripple、Coinbase 和Robinhood 等交易平台向總統的就職基金捐贈了大量資金，其他行業贊助商在周五舉辦了加密舞會以慶祝就職典禮。

According to Bloomberg and Reuters, citing anonymous sources familiar with the matter, Trump is also planning to create a crypto advisory council shortly after taking office, and to review several regulations concerning the ownership of digital assets.

據彭博社和路透社引述知情人士的消息稱，川普還計劃在上任後不久成立一個加密貨幣諮詢委員會，並審查有關數位資產所有權的多項法規。

Catherine Rampell, Washington Post columnist, in an interview with CNN: "On the one hand I think this is a massive scam of his own followers, who are buying nothing, essentially, in the hopes that there will be a greater fool down the line to buy more ... On the other hand, maybe they're somewhat shielded from downside losses, because there will be a reliable source of individuals, companies, and foreign governments that see this—see buying these coins, these tokens—as a very convenient way to pay off the president for favors."

《華盛頓郵報》專欄作家凱瑟琳·蘭佩爾在接受CNN 採訪時表示：「一方面，我認為這是他自己的追隨者的一個巨大騙局，他們什麼也沒買，本質上是希望將來有一個更大的傻瓜。代幣視為一種非常方便的方式來償還總統的恩惠。

Norman Eisen, former White House ethics adviser under the Obama administration, told The Washington Post: "He's launching a major, new multibillion-dollar venture in the burgeoning crypto industry, where he has the most profound conflict of interest between [what] he's seeking to gain and his duties to regulate that industry—which now includes himself. This may represent the single worst conflict of interest in the modern history of the presidency."

歐巴馬政府時期的前白宮道德顧問諾曼艾森(Norman Eisen) 告訴《華盛頓郵報》：「他正在蓬勃發展的加密產業發起一項耗資數十億美元的大型新企業，在這個產業中，他所尋求的利益之間存在著最深刻的利益衝突。” 以獲得利益和他監管該行業的職責——現在包括他自己，這可能是現代總統歷史上最嚴重的利益衝突。”

Anthony Scaramucci, former Trump White House Director of Communications and co-host of The Rest Is Politics: US podcast, via X: "Most dangerous thing for country about Trump coin is what comes next. Now anyone in world can essentially deposit money into bank account of President of USA with a couple clicks. Every favor—geopolitical, corporate or personal—is now on sale, right out in the open."

前川普白宮通訊主任、《剩下的就是政治：美國播客》聯合主持人安東尼·斯卡拉穆奇（Anthony Scaramucci）透過X 表示：「川普硬幣對國家來說最危險的事情就是接下來發生的事情。

Representative Ro Khanna (D-CA), via X: "Elected officials must be barred from having meme coins by law. Meme coins are highly speculative and like gambling must be regulated by the SEC. They are neither neutral money (not controlled by insiders) nor platforms for innovation."

眾議員Ro Khanna（D-CA）通過X：「法律必須禁止民選官員擁有Meme 幣。Meme 幣具有高度投機性，就像賭博一樣必須受到SEC 的監管。它們既不是中立貨幣（不受內部人士控制） ）也不是創新平台。

Justin D'Anethan, independent cryptocurrency analyst, told Reuters: "While it's tempting to dismiss this as just another Trump spectacle, the launch of the official Trump token opens up a Pandora's box of ethical and regulatory questions … Should public figures, especially those with such political clout, wield this kind of sway in speculative markets? That's a question regulators are unlikely to ignore."

獨立加密貨幣分析師賈斯汀·達尼森(Justin D'Anethan) 告訴路透社：「雖然人們很容易認為這只是川普的又一奇觀，但川普官方代幣的推出打開了道德和監管問題的潘朵拉魔盒…公眾人物，尤其是那些如此大的政治影響力，對投機市場產生如此大的影響力，這是監管者不可能忽視的問題。

Jordan Libowitz, Vice President of communications at Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, told Politico: "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."

華盛頓公民責任與道德組織的通訊副總裁喬丹·利博維茨(Jordan Libowitz) 向Politico 表示：「幾十年來，我們看到當選總統在就職典禮前花時間將自己與財務分開，以表明他們不存在任何與財務方面的衝突。 。

Once sworn in, Trump has promised to swiftly implement pro-crypto policies—including the establishment of a national strategic Bitcoin reserve—in an effort to transform the U.S. into the "crypto capital of the planet."

川普宣誓就職後承諾將迅速實施支持加密貨幣的政策，包括建立國家戰略比特幣儲備，以努力將美國轉變為「地球的加密貨幣之都」。
