川普進軍加密貨幣市場，推出名為 $TRUMP 的數位代幣

像 $TRUMP 這樣的迷因幣通常是為了利用公眾人物、運動或網路趨勢的受歡迎程度而設計的。

Former US President Donald Trump has launched his own cryptocurrency, called $TRUMP, which has quickly become a hot topic in the cryptocurrency market.

美國前總統川普推出了自己的加密貨幣，名為$TRUMP，迅速成為加密貨幣市場的熱門話題。

The meme coin, unveiled on Friday (January 17), sparked a buying frenzy that saw its market capitalisation soar to nearly $6 billion by Saturday morning.

這款迷因幣於週五（1 月 17 日）推出，引發了購買狂潮，截至週六上午，其市值飆升至近 60 億美元。

Trump announced the cryptocurrency on his Truth Social platform and X, describing it as a tribute to his leadership, with the coin's official website calling it a celebration of "a leader who doesn't back down, no matter the odds."

川普在他的Truth Social 平台和X 上宣布了這種加密貨幣，並將其描述為對他領導力的致敬，該貨幣的官方網站稱這是對「一位無論可能性如何都不會退縮的領導人」的慶祝。

The announcement generated widespread interest, despite the coin having little actual utility.

儘管該代幣幾乎沒有實際用途，但這一消息引起了廣泛的興趣。

The launch follows an earlier initiative by Trump-linked businessmen, who introduced a crypto platform called World Liberty Financial in October.

這項推出是在與川普有關聯的商人發起的一項早期舉措之後推出的，他們於 10 月推出了一個名為 World Liberty Financial 的加密平台。

Meme coins, like $TRUMP, are typically designed to capitalise on the popularity of a public figure, movement, or internet trend, with no intrinsic economic or transactional value.

Meme 幣，如 $TRUMP，通常是為了利用公眾人物、運動或網路趨勢的受歡迎程度而設計的，沒有內在的經濟或交易價值。

According to the official website, 200 million $TRUMP coins have been issued, with plans to release an additional 800 million over the next three years. At current valuations, the coins yet to be issued would be worth about $24 billion.

據官方網站稱，川普幣已發行 2 億枚，並計劃在未來三年內再發行 8 億枚。按照目前的估值，尚未發行的代幣價值約為 240 億美元。

The cryptocurrency is being managed by Fight Fight Fight LLC. The company has not disclosed how much Trump has earned from the initial launch.

該加密貨幣由 Fight Fight Fight LLC 管理。該公司尚未透露川普從最初的推出中獲得了多少收入。

Unlike cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ethereum, meme coins have no inherent utility and are often used for speculative trading.

與比特幣或以太坊等加密貨幣不同，模因幣沒有固有的效用，通常用於投機交易。

However, $TRUMP's association with Trump and the perceived legitimacy of the launch led to a massive surge in its market capitalisation.

然而，$TRUMP 與川普的聯繫以及此次推出的合法性導致其市值大幅飆升。

Announcements on Trump's official Truth Social and X accounts reassured investors, especially as the project involves CIC Digital LLC, a company Trump previously used to sell non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

川普官方 Truth Social 和 X 帳戶上的公告讓投資者放心，特別是因為該項目涉及 CIC Digital LLC，該公司此前是川普用來銷售不可替代代幣 (NFT) 的公司。

The coin's popularity is also likely due to Trump's cult-like following among his supporters.

這枚硬幣的受歡迎也可能是由於川普在其支持者中擁有狂熱的追隨者。

This can be seen in the context of Trump's pivot from crypto scepticism to championing digital currencies during his 2024 presidential campaign, with promises to loosen crypto sector regulations, boosting traders' confidence.

這可以從川普在 2024 年總統競選期間從對加密貨幣持懷疑態度轉向支持數位貨幣、承諾放鬆加密貨幣行業監管、提振交易員信心的背景下看出。
