政治專家說，前所未有的情況引起了明顯的利益衝突問題。

Here's a breakdown of the Trump family's crypto ventures:

這是特朗普家族的加密貨幣的細分：

Memecoins

成人

Trump launched his own memecoin in 2024, and his wife, Melania, launched hers shortly afterward.

特朗普於2024年推出了自己的成員，他的妻子梅拉尼亞（Melania）不久後推出了自己的成員。

Two companies, CIC Digital LLC and Fight Fight Fight LLC, collectively own 80% of Trump’s token, which has a paper value of over $14 billion, according to his memecoin’s website.

根據他的Memecoin網站，兩家公司CIC Digital LLC和Fight Fight Fight LLC共同擁有特朗普的80％的代幣，其紙質價值超過140億美元。

Trump wholly owns CIC Digital, according to his 2024 financial disclosure.

根據他2024年的財務披露，特朗普完全擁有CIC數字。

CIC Digital jointly owns Fight Fight Fight with another firm called Celebration Cards LLC, which is registered in Wyoming by Andrew Pierce, a corporate paralegal for Wyoming LLC Attorney.

CIC Digitally共同與另一家名為Celebration Card LLC的公司搏擊戰鬥，該公司由Wyoming LLC律師的公司律師助理安德魯·皮爾斯（Andrew Pierce）在懷俄明州註冊。

Pierce’s firm specializes in setting up anonymous shell companies and asset protection planning, according to its website. Pierce did not respond to a request for comment.

根據其網站，Pierce的公司專門建立匿名的殼牌公司和資產保護計劃。皮爾斯沒有回應置評請求。

Because Celebration Cards is set up through a third party, little is known about its ownership or financials.

由於慶祝卡是通過第三方建立的，因此對其所有權或財務狀況知之甚少。

Several other companies connected to Trump’s businesses, such as his line of sneakers, are also registered in Pierce’s name and are similarly opaque.

與特朗普業務相關的其他幾家公司（例如他的運動鞋系列）也以皮爾斯的名義註冊，並且同樣不透明。

The company structure behind Melania’s memecoin is simpler.

Melania的Memecoin背後的公司結構更簡單。

It’s issued through Florida-registered MKT World LLC, a firm run by the First Lady, according to Florida’s business registry.

根據佛羅里達州的商業註冊表的說法，它是通過佛羅里達州註冊的MKT World LLC發行的，該公司由第一夫人經營。

In 2023, MKT World notched between $1 million and $5 million in income, per Trump’s financial disclosures.

在2023年，根據特朗普的財務披露，MKT World的收入在100萬至500萬美元之間。

World Liberty Financial

世界自由財務

In September, Eric Trump and Donald Jr unveiled World Liberty Financial.

9月，埃里克·特朗普（Eric Trump）和唐納德（Donald Jr）揭開了世界自由金融。

The DeFi app is yet to launch, but the brothers plan to issue a stablecoin as well as let users lend and borrow crypto assets.

Defi應用程序尚未啟動，但是兄弟倆計劃簽發Stablecoin，並讓用戶借入和借用加密資產。

Sales of WLFI, the project’s governance token, have generated around $385 million.

該項目的治理令牌WLFI的銷售產生了約3.85億美元。

While Trump and his family don't directly own World Liberty Financial, they do receive funds from the venture.

雖然特朗普和他的家人並沒有直接擁有世界自由財務，但他們確實從該合資企業中獲得了資金。

The protocol keeps the first $30 million raised through WLFI sales, per the project’s documentation. Anything raised after that goes to three separate entities.

根據該項目的文檔，該協議將通過WLFI銷售籌集的前3000萬美元。此後提出的任何東西都進入了三個獨立的實體。

The first, DT Marks DEFI LLC, is owned and controlled by President Trump and members of his family, including Eric, Donald Jr, and Barron.

第一個DT Marks Defi LLC由特朗普總統及其家人（包括埃里克，唐納德·小和巴倫）擁有和控制。

The second firm is owned by Chase Herro and Zak Folkman, World Liberty Financial’s co-founders.

第二家公司歸Chase Herro和World Liberty Financial的聯合創始人Chase Herro和Zak Folkman擁有。

Herro once called himself the “dirtbag of the internet” in a since-deleted YouTube video. He and Folkman founded the DeFi protocol Dough Finance, which shut down after a $2.1 million hack.

Herro曾經在YouTube視頻中自稱為“互聯網的越野袋”。他和福克曼（Folkman）創立了Defi Protocent Fonugh Finance，該財務在210萬美元的黑客攻擊後關閉。

The third entity is a vehicle for Trump ally Steven Witkoff, a real estate investor and developer, and his sons Zach and Alex, who are also co-founders of World Liberty Financial.

第三個實體是房地產投資者兼開發商特朗普艾莉·史蒂文·維特科夫（Trump Ally Steven Witkoff）的工具，他的兒子扎克（Zach）和亞歷克斯（Alex）也是世界自由金融的聯合創始人。

NFTs

nfts

In 2022, Trump made his first foray into crypto when he released NFTs depicting him as a muscled superhero, a gun-bearing hunter, and other comic book-like images.

2022年，特朗普釋放了NFTS，將他描繪成肌肉發達的超級英雄，帶槍的獵人和其他漫畫般的圖像時，他首次涉足加密貨幣。

The idea came from Bill Zanker, a confidante who co-authored a book with Trump in 2007, who approached the then-presidential candidate on launching his own NFTs, reported Bloomberg News.

據《彭博新聞》報導，這個想法來自比爾·扎克（Bill Zanker）。

His wife Melania also got into the game and launched her own NFTs.

他的妻子梅拉尼亞（Melania）也參加了比賽，並推出了自己的NFT。

Like with Trump’s memecoin, the Trump-owned firm CIC Digital is behind his NFT trading cards.

與特朗普的成員一樣，特朗普擁有的公司CIC Digital在他的NFT交易卡背後。

CIC Digital licenses Trump’s name to the firm NFT INT LLC, which isn’t owned by Trump himself, according to his website.

根據他的網站，CIC Digital許可將特朗普的名字授予NFT INT LLC公司，該公司本人並非擁有。

NFT INT is registered in Delaware through a firm that obscures a business’ ownership.

NFT INT通過一家掩蓋業務所有權的公司在特拉華州註冊。

Trump has made somewhere between $7.3 and $8.2 million off of his NFT collection, per his 2023 and 2024 financial disclosures.

根據他的2023年和2024年的財務披露，特朗普在NFT系列中享受了730萬美元的折扣。

Melania, meanwhile, has made between $1 to $5 million off of her NFTs, per Trump’s 2023 financial disclosure. His 2024 disclosure did not list Melania’s income from her NFT sales.

同時，根據特朗普2023年的2023年財務披露，梅拉尼亞（Melania）的NFT折價為1至500萬美元。他的2024年披露並未從NFT銷售中列出Melania的收入。
