川普幣引發重大稅收和法律問題

隨著他的迷因幣川普的最新推出，他成為第一位將政治影響力帶入迷因幣市場的總統。然而，此舉引發了一些法律和稅務挑戰。

Former US President Donald Trump has recently made waves in the crypto industry with the launch of his meme coin, aptly named TRUMP.

美國前總統唐納德·川普最近推出了他的模因幣（川普），在加密行業掀起波瀾。

This marks the first time a president has brought political influence to the meme coin market. While the move is certainly attention-grabbing, it also raises several legal and tax questions.

這標誌著總統第一次為迷因幣市場帶來政治影響力。雖然此舉確實引人注目，但它也引發了一些法律和稅務問題。

According to FinTax, a web3 financial management firm, one of the primary concerns is whether TRUMP can be legally classified as a security.

根據 web3 金融管理公司 FinTax 的說法，主要關注點之一是 TRUMP 是否可以合法地歸類為證券。

“First, there’s the question of whether this meme coin is a security. This is super important for its legality,” FinTax said.

「首先，存在的問題是這種模因幣是否是一種證券。這對其合法性來說非常重要，」FinTax 表示。

Cryptocurrencies sold through Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) are typically considered securities. However, Trump’s team has maintained that the coin is not a security.

透過首次代幣發行（ICO）出售的加密貨幣通常被視為證券。然而，川普團隊堅稱該代幣不是證券。

The TRUMP website states that it does not promise any future profits.

川普網站聲明，不承諾任何未來利潤。

Despite this declaration, the possibility of an SEC investigation remains, especially given the lack of clear regulatory stance on meme coins.

儘管有這一聲明，美國證券交易委員會調查的可能性仍然存在，特別是考慮到對模因幣缺乏明確的監管立場。

Another concern is the potential for TRUMP to be used to circumvent legal restrictions on political donations.

另一個擔憂是川普可能被用來規避政治捐款的法律限制。

The Federal Election Commission (FEC) has strict rules governing political donations, and launching a meme coin could open up new avenues for fundraising that fall outside of traditional regulations.

聯邦選舉委員會（FEC）對政治捐贈有嚴格的規定，推出迷因幣可能會開闢傳統法規以外的籌款新途徑。

If TRUMP is found to be facilitating political donations, it could raise red flags and lead to legal challenges. While there is no evidence yet to suggest that the coin is being used for this purpose, the potential for controversy remains high.

如果川普被發現為政治捐款提供便利，可能會引發危險信號並導致法律挑戰。儘管尚無證據表明該硬幣被用於此目的，但引起爭議的可能性仍然很高。

Beyond the legal questions, FinTax also highlights a tax issue surrounding the launch of TRUMP.

除了法律問題之外，FinTax 還強調了圍繞川普推出的稅務問題。

As per the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), cryptocurrency profits are subject to taxation, and understanding how taxes apply to TRUMP could be a complex matter.

根據美國國稅局 (IRS) 的規定，加密貨幣利潤需要納稅，而了解川普如何納稅可能是一件複雜的事情。

It is reported that Trump’s team currently holds 80% of the total TRUMP supply, which they will unlock in stages over the next three years.

據悉，川普團隊目前持有川普總供應量的80%，他們將在未來三年內分階段解鎖。

The question arises whether unlocking these coins will be considered a taxable event by the authorities. Generally, capital gains tax is only triggered when an asset is sold or traded.

問題是，解鎖這些代幣是否會被當局視為應稅事件。一般來說，資本利得稅僅在資產出售或交易時才會觸發。

However, depending on how the authorities choose to view the matter, unlocking the crypto could be subject to taxation.

然而，根據當局選擇如何看待此事，解鎖加密貨幣可能需要納稅。

Meanwhile, crypto experts are speculating on possible tax cuts in the wake of TRUMP's launch.

與此同時，加密貨幣專家正在猜測川普上任後可能會減稅。

According to CoinGecko, Trump is now the third-largest meme coin with a market cap of $11.7 billion.

根據 CoinGecko 的數據，川普現在是第三大表情包硬幣，市值為 117 億美元。

Members of the crypto community are expressing hope that Donald Trump's newfound crypto wealth will inspire him to implement tax reforms.

加密社群成員表示希望唐納德·川普新發現的加密財富將激勵他實施稅收改革。

“Trump is up around $20 billion on his token. That means an extra $5 billion in his pockets if he eliminates capital gains on crypto… The President of the United States now has a personal multi-billion dollar incentive to eliminate crypto capital gains tax,” crypto trader Gammichan noted.

「川普的代幣價值增加了約 200 億美元。這意味著，如果他取消加密貨幣的資本利得，他的口袋裡會多出50 億美元……美國總統現在有數十億美元的個人激勵措施來取消加密貨幣資本利得稅。 Gammichan 指出。

suggesting that Trump may have a strong personal interest in reducing or eliminating capital gains tax on cryptocurrency.

這表明川普可能對減少或取消加密貨幣資本利得稅有強烈的個人興趣。

Highlighting a similar possibility, crypto investor Mike Alfred stated, “Now that 80% of Trump’s wealth consists of crypto, you can expect an end to all federal income taxes on crypto sales within the year. This is how the game is played. Watch and learn (and buy some Bitcoin for the kids).”

加密貨幣投資者 Mike Alfred 強調了類似的可能性，他表示：「既然川普 80% 的財富由加密貨幣組成，你可以預期年內將終止對加密貨幣銷售的所有聯邦所得稅。遊戲就是這樣玩的。觀看並學習（並為孩子們購買一些比特幣）。
