特朗普家族將為其模因硬幣特朗普提供私人晚餐

這項邀請驅動了特朗普的短期激增，是該家庭從加密貨幣產業中獲利的最新嘗試。

The Trump family will host private dinners at his golf club for top investors in his meme coin TRUMP, an invitation that drove a short-term surge in the token and is the latest attempt by the family to profit from the crypto industry.

特朗普家族將在他的高爾夫俱樂部舉辦私人晚餐，以在他的Meme Coin Trump中為頂級投資者舉辦，這一邀請驅動了代幣短期激增，這是該家族從加密貨幣產業中獲利的最新嘗試。

Each seat will be reserved for the top 220 investors in terms of holdings of TRUMP Coin, the cryptocurrency launched by the Trump family on the eve of his inauguration.

就特朗普硬幣的持有而言，每個席位將保留給前220名投資者，特朗普硬幣的持有，特朗普家族在就職典禮前夕發起的加密貨幣。

On Wednesday, the website promoting the so-called “presidential meme coin” announced that buyers with the largest holdings would receive a meeting with the president, essentially offering White House access as a bargaining chip in exchange for investment in Trump’s crypto project.

週三，該網站推廣所謂的“總統模因硬幣”宣布，擁有最大持股的買家將與總統舉行會議，從本質上講，白宮可以作為討價還價的籌碼，以換取在特朗普的加密項目中進行投資。

“Dinner with President Trump and the TRUMP community!” the invitation reads. “Let the President know how many TRUMP coins you hold!”

“與特朗普總統和特朗普社區的晚餐！”邀請閱讀。 “讓總統知道您持有多少個特朗普硬幣！”

For months, Trump’s foray into cryptocurrencies has sparked unprecedented ethical controversy in U.S. presidential history. While promoting digital currencies to the public, Trump has appointed regulators who have cut crypto enforcement and called for legislation to boost the industry in the United States.

幾個月來，特朗普涉足加密貨幣一直引起了美國總統歷史上空前的道德爭議。特朗普在向公眾推廣數字貨幣的同時，任命了削減加密執法的監管機構，並呼籲立法來促進美國的行業。

As news of the dinner spread across social media, the price of the meme coin soared by more than 60%, and investors are frantically taking advantage of this news to profit.

隨著晚餐遍布社交媒體的消息，模因硬幣的價格飆升了60％以上，投資者瘋狂地利用這一消息來獲利。

“This is unbelievable,” said Corey Freire, who is in charge of SEC crypto policy during the Biden administration. “They put the ‘power for money’ directly on the table.”

“這是令人難以置信的，”在拜登政府期間負責SEC加密政策的科里·弗里雷（Corey Freire）說。 “他們直接將'貨物'放在桌子上。”

Business entities associated with Trump hold a large number of the tokens, which means that Trump himself can directly profit from every price increase (at least on paper). Trump and his business partners can also extract transaction fees from token transactions, with revenues of nearly $100 million in the early days of the launch in January alone.

與特朗普相關的商業實體持有大量令牌，這意味著特朗普本人可以直接從每個價格上漲（至少在紙上）中獲利。特朗普和他的業務夥伴還可以從代幣交易中提取交易費用，僅一月份啟動的早期，收入就有近1億美元。

Creighton University law professor Victoria Honeyman noted that such operations raise concerns that Trump and his business empire “may be exploiting the power of the presidency for personal gain.”

克雷頓大學法學教授維多利亞·霍尼曼（Victoria Honeyman）指出，這種行動引起了特朗普及其商業帝國的擔憂，“可能正在利用總統職位謀取個人利益”。

The Trump family’s crypto businesses may benefit from industry-backed crypto legislation moving forward in Congress, but they also complicate the political landscape around the issue. Trump’s relationship with cryptocurrencies has angered pro-industry Democrats, whose support is needed for legislation to pass the Senate. House Financial Services Committee Chairman Frank Hill (R-Arkansas), who has pushed for new rules favorable to cryptocurrencies for years, said last month that his family’s crypto businesses “complicate” his job in Congress.

特朗普家族的加密貨幣業務可能會受益於國會行業支持的加密立法，但它們也使圍繞該問題的政治格局複雜化。特朗普與加密貨幣的關係激怒了親企業民主黨，他們的立法需要支持參議院。眾議院金融服務委員會主席弗蘭克·希爾（R-ARKANSAS）努力製定有利於加密貨幣的新規則多年，他上個月表示，他的家人的加密貨幣業務“使”他在國會中的工作“複雜化”。

Earlier this year, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission issued official guidance stating that meme coins based on online jokes or celebrity images will not be regulated by the agency. Crypto skeptics criticized this policy for potentially encouraging fraudulent behavior by meme coin promoters.

今年早些時候，美國證券交易委員會發布了官方指導，指出基於在線笑話或名人圖像的模因硬幣將不受機構的監管。加密懷疑論者批評了這一政策可能鼓勵模因硬幣發起人的欺詐行為。

As president, Trump enjoys broad immunity from conflict of interest regulations, a loophole he has cited in the past. A White House representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Eric Trump, who helps run the Trump Organization, the sponsor of TRUMP coin, declined to comment.

作為總統，特朗普對利益衝突法規享有廣泛的免疫力，這是他過去引用的漏洞。白宮代表沒有立即回應置評請求。埃里克·特朗普（Eric Trump）幫助經營特朗普硬幣的讚助商特朗普組織（Trump Tranger）拒絕置評。

Trump, once skeptical of crypto, changed his stance during last year’s campaign, when crypto companies were spending tens of millions of dollars to influence the 2024 election.

特朗普曾經對加密貨幣持懷疑態度，在去年的競選活動中改變了立場，當時加密公司花了數千萬美元來影響2024年的選舉。

Last fall, Trump and his sons Donald Jr., Eric and Barron announced the establishment of World Liberty Financial to issue a digital currency called WLFI. According to the company, 550 million of the tokens have been sold so far.

去年秋天，特朗普和他的兒子小唐納德（Donald Jr.據該公司稱，到目前為止，有5.5億個代幣已售出。

Shortly thereafter, Trump’s social media company Trump Media & Technology Group began offering crypto financial products to retail investors and announced a partnership with trading platform Crypto.com.

此後不久，特朗普的社交媒體公司特朗普媒體與技術集團開始提供加密貨幣金融產品來散戶投資者，並宣布與交易平台Crypto.com建立合作夥伴關係。

But the most popular project is Trump’s meme coin project.

但是最受歡迎的項目是特朗普的模因硬幣項目。

Three days before the inauguration, Trump announced the sale of the token on his social platform Truth Social. TRUMP sales surged instantly, making the president-elect a crypto billionaire on paper.

就職典禮前三天，特朗普宣佈在他的社交平台真相社交上出售令牌。特朗普的銷售立即激增，當選總統在紙上成為加密貨幣億萬富翁。

Meme coins usually rise and fall sharply, and the price of TRUMP collapsed quickly. The cumulative losses of holders exceeded US$2 billion.

模因硬幣通常會急劇上升和下降，特朗普的價格迅速崩潰。持有人的累積損失超過20億美元。

The dinner announcement was clearly intended to reignite market enthusiasm.

晚餐公告顯然是為了重新激發市場的熱情。

When Trump was launched in January, a large number of tokens were distributed to project supporters. However, the issuance rules restricted these insiders from selling until last week, raising concerns in the market that their selling would cause the price of the coin to fall further.

特朗普於1月推出時，將大量令牌分發給了項目支持者。但是，發行規則限制了這些內部人士的銷售，直到上週，人們擔心他們的銷售將導致硬幣的價格進一步下跌。

However, in the days before the invitation was released, the price of the currency had gradually recovered, and it soared rapidly after the announcement was released.

但是，在邀請發行之前的幾天，貨幣的價格逐漸收回，並且在宣布這一消息後迅速飆升。

The TRUMP official website has set up a ranking of major coin holders, which is essentially an online game that allows buyers to track rankings in real time. The website states that from April 23 to May 12, “the top 220 TRUMP average holdings” will be invited to the dinner. The top 25 buyers can also attend the presidential reception before the dinner and the VIP tour of the White House (the 25th on the list currently holds about 4,000 tokens, worth about $54,000).

特朗普官方網站已經建立了主要硬幣持有人的排名，這實質上是一款在線遊戲，可讓買家實時跟踪排名。該網站指出，從4月23日至5月12日，將邀請“特朗普220名特朗普的平均持股量”參加晚宴。排名前25位的買家還可以在晚餐前參加總統招待會和白宮的VIP之旅（目前排名第25位的餐廳持有約4,000個令牌，價值約54,000美元）。
