川普透過新迷因幣 $TRUMP 和 $MELANIA 爆炸了他的淨資產

當加密貨幣產業慶祝華盛頓特區新一屆政府的到來時，沒有人比領導者唐納德·J·川普總統更快地利用即將到來的變化。

Fresh off his electoral victory, former President Donald Trump wasted no time in cashing in on the crypto craze that was sweeping the nation.

前總統唐納德·川普剛贏得選舉，就立即利用席捲全國的加密貨幣熱潮獲利。

On the evening of January 20, 2021, as crypto A-listers mingled with political elites and members of Trump's inner circle at the Crypto Ball, held at the opulent Mellon Auditorium, just down the street from the White House, Trump was quietly preparing to launch a meme coin of his own.

2021 年 1 月 20 日晚，當加密貨幣一線明星與政治精英和川普核心圈成員在加密貨幣舞會上混在一起時，川普正悄悄地準備推出自己的迷因幣。

The coin, named $TRUMP, was launched later that night on the Solana platform. Its market cap quickly soared over the weekend, reaching $14 billion at one point.

該代幣名為 $TRUMP，於當晚稍晚在 Solana 平台上推出。其市值在周末迅速飆升，一度達到 140 億美元。

As with other meme coins, there was no underlying product for $TRUMP. In a social media post announcing the coin, Trump wrote, "It's time to celebrate everything we stand for: WINNING!"

與其他模因幣一樣，$TRUMP 沒有基礎產品。川普在社交媒體上發布了這款硬幣的消息，他寫道：“是時候慶祝我們所代表的一切了：勝利！”

According to the website for $TRUMP, 80% of the coins were being held by the Trump Organization and affiliates. Among the crypto exchange leaders present at the Crypto Ball were Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong and Kraken co-founder Jesse Powell, whose platforms allowed ordinary investors to buy into Trump's latest project.

據 $TRUMP 網站稱，80% 的代幣由川普組織及其附屬機構持有。出席加密舞會的加密貨幣交易所領導人包括Coinbase 執行長布萊恩·阿姆斯壯(Brian Armstrong) 和Kraken 聯合創始人傑西·鮑威爾(Jesse Powell)，他們的平台允許普通投資者購買川普的最新項目。

After launching $TRUMP, Trump followed up on Sunday with the introduction of another meme coin, $MELANIA, named after the first lady.

在推出 $TRUMP 後，川普於週日推出了另一種迷因幣 $MELANIA，以第一夫人的名字命名。

The coin quickly spiked more than 40%, surpassing $2 billion in value. Both the Trump and Melania coins have since dropped significantly from their highs.

該代幣迅速飆升超過 40%，價值超過 20 億美元。此後，川普幣和梅蘭妮亞幣都從高點大幅下跌。

In addition to the meme coins, the Trump family also endorsed a decentralized finance project called World Liberty Financial, which hiked its token price from 1.5 cents to 5 cents and released an additional 5 billion tokens for sale.

除了meme幣之外，川普家族還支持了一個名為World Liberty Financial的去中心化金融項目，該項目將其代幣價格從1.5美分提高到5美分，並額外發行了50億枚代幣進行銷售。

The project, which was initially launched in September, has raised more than $300 million in total sales so far, according to blockchain firm Arkham Intelligence.

據區塊鏈公司 Arkham Intelligence 稱，該項目最初於 9 月啟動，迄今已籌集了超過 3 億美元的總銷售額。

The Trump family is set to receive 75% of World Liberty's crypto coin revenue, as per the project's founding document.

根據該項目的創始文件，川普家族將獲得 World Liberty 加密貨幣收入的 75%。

On-chain data showed millions of dollars worth of token transfers to Coinbase’s institutional custody provider.

鏈上數據顯示，價值數百萬美元的代幣轉移至 Coinbase 的機構託管提供者。

"We’re making routine movements of our crypto holdings as part of regular treasury management, payment of fees and expenses, and to address working capital requirements,” World Liberty said in a statement.

World Liberty 在聲明中表示：“我們正在對我們的加密資產進行例行調整，作為定期財務管理、支付費用和開支以及滿足營運資金需求的一部分。”

CNBC reached out to Donald and Melania Trump earlier Monday and didn't receive a response.

CNBC 週一早些時候聯繫了唐納德·特朗普和梅拉尼婭·特朗普，但沒有收到回复。
