川普的新加密貨幣對投資者來說是一筆不公平的交易

首先，並不是任何人都可以購買 World Liberty Financial 發行的 WLFI 代幣，川普是該公司的主要加密貨幣倡導者。

Former President Donald Trump is now the chief crypto advocate for a company called World Liberty Financial, which is offering a cryptocurrency called $WLFI tokens.

前總統川普現在是一家名為 World Liberty Financial 的公司的首席加密貨幣倡導者，該公司提供一種名為 $WLFI 代幣的加密貨幣。

But there’s a catch: Only accredited investors can buy the coins, which are priced at 1.5 cents each and named after Trump himself. To qualify, investors generally must have a net worth of at least $1 million, not including the value of their home.

但有一個問題：只有經過認可的投資者才能購買這些硬幣，每枚硬幣的售價為 1.5 美分，並以川普本人的名字命名。要獲得資格，投資者通常必須擁有至少 100 萬美元的淨資產，其中不包括房屋價值。

World Liberty is offering the tokens under a Regulation D exemption from having to register them with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The company says it doesn’t consider the tokens to be securities.

World Liberty 根據 D 條例提供代幣，無需在美國證券交易委員會註冊。該公司表示，它不認為這些代幣是證券。

Accredited investors can’t sell the coins, either. ‘All $WLFI will be non-transferable and locked indefinitely in a wallet or smart contract,’ according to a document released by World Liberty on Thursday.

合格的投資者也不能出售這些代幣。根據 World Liberty 週四發布的一份文件，「所有 WLFI 美元都將不可轉讓，並無限期鎖定在錢包或智慧合約中」。

In contrast, shares of Trump Media (DWAC) are changing hands constantly, contributing to the wild price fluctuations seen as recently as this past Tuesday. Shares dropped by as much as 16% in intraday trading, then surged to a 13% gain and finally closed down 10%.

相較之下，川普媒體公司（DWAC）的股票不斷易手，導致上週二出現的劇烈價格波動。該股盤中一度下跌 16%，隨後飆升 13%，最終收盤下跌 10%。

The 13-page “gold paper” about the WLFI token also reveals that while Trump has no ownership stake in World Liberty, 22.5 billion WLFI tokens and 75% of its revenue go to DT Marks DEFI LLC, a Delaware entity whose owners and principals include him. In exchange, they will promote World Liberty and grant rights to use their name, image, and likeness.

關於WLFI 代幣的13 頁「金皮書」還透露，雖然川普沒有World Liberty 的所有權，但225 億個WLFI 代幣及其75% 的收入都歸DT Marks DEFI LLC 所有，這是一家特拉華州實體，其所有者和負責人包括他。作為交換，他們將促進世界自由並授予使用他們的姓名、形象和肖像的權利。

The paper also explains there are 100 billion total coins, with 35 billion of them eventually being sold to ‘eligible participants.’ That means another 15 billion could come on the market later, possibly at a different price.

該論文還解釋說，代幣總數為 1000 億枚，其中 350 億枚最終出售給「合格參與者」。這意味著稍後可能會有另外 150 億美元以不同的價格上市。

Trump’s crypto plan extends well beyond the new coin. At a Bitcoin conference over the summer, he said he wants the U.S. to create a strategic reserve of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC).

川普的加密貨幣計畫遠遠超出了新硬幣的範疇。在今年夏天的比特幣會議上，他表示希望美國建立比特幣戰略儲備（加密貨幣：BTC）。

Trump’s rival Kamala Harris has touted crypto as well, proposing a new regulatory framework that she says will better protect owners of digital coins and other digital assets.

川普的競爭對手卡瑪拉哈里斯也大力宣傳加密貨幣，並提出了一個新的監管框架，她表示該框架將更好地保護數位貨幣和其他數位資產的所有者。

The candidates’ vocal support for crypto dovetails with an increase in donations to political action committees aimed at getting pro-crypto candidates elected, regardless of their political affiliation, according to an August report from Public Citizen. Nearly half of all corporate money going toward influencing the election is coming from crypto firms, with the crypto exchange Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) and payment network Ripple as the biggest backers.

根據Public Citizen 8 月的一份報告，候選人對加密貨幣的直言不諱的支持與政治行動委員會的捐款增加相吻合，這些政治行動委員會旨在讓支持加密貨幣的候選人當選，無論其政治派別如何。所有用於影響選舉的企業資金中近一半來自加密貨幣公司，其中加密貨幣交易所 Coinbase（納斯達克股票代碼：COIN）和支付網路 Ripple 是最大的支持者。
