川普的 Meme 代幣的推出引發了加密貨幣產業的分歧

當選總統於 1 月 17 日推出了「川普」代幣，而他的妻子梅蘭妮亞則於 1 月 19 日推出了她的偽幣「梅拉尼婭」。

The newly elected President of the United States has made a surprising entry into the world of cryptocurrencies by launching his own meme coin, named after himself. The coin, called "Trump," was introduced on January 17 with much fanfare. Interestingly, his wife, Melania, also joined the crypto bandwagon, launching her own meme coin, named "Melania," on January 19.

新當選的美國總統推出了以他自己名字命名的迷因幣，令人驚訝地進入了加密貨幣世界。這種名為「川普」的硬幣於 1 月 17 日大張旗鼓地推出。有趣的是，他的妻子梅蘭妮亞也加入了加密貨幣浪潮，於 1 月 19 日推出了自己的迷因幣，名為「梅拉尼婭」。

The market value of Trump's meme coin soared to an impressive height, reaching $15 billion at one point. However, as Melania's token also gained attention, the value of Trump's coin dropped to below $8 billion.

川普表情包幣的市值飆升至令人印象深刻的高度，一度達到 150 億美元。然而，隨著梅蘭妮亞的代幣也受到關注，川普代幣的價值跌至80億美元以下。

Both the Trump and Melania coins come with disclaimers on their respective websites, stating that these tokens "are not intended to be or are not" investment opportunities or securities.

川普和梅蘭妮亞硬幣在各自的網站上均附有免責聲明，聲明這些代幣「無意或不是」投資機會或證券。

The meme coin sector, which includes tokens like Dogecoin that have low intrinsic value and high volatility, has been a subject of contention. It has drawn criticism that the mainstream crypto industry is becoming too frivolous and risky for the average investor.

迷因幣領域，包括狗狗幣等內在價值低、波動性高的代幣，一直是爭論的焦點。它招致了批評，認為主流加密貨幣行業對於普通投資者來說變得過於輕率和冒險。

Meme coins heavily rely on support from social media, which can be as fleeting as the coins themselves.

Meme 幣嚴重依賴社群媒體的支持，而社群媒體可能像幣本身一樣轉瞬即逝。

"The weekend launches are now clearly a blight that we will have to work to put behind us as builders," said Rob Hadick, general partner at crypto-focused venture-capital firm Dragonfly Capital.

專注於加密貨幣的風險投資公司 Dragonfly Capital 的普通合夥人羅布·哈迪克 (Rob Hadick) 表示：“週末的發布顯然是一個災難，我們作為建設者必須努力將其拋在腦後。”

Earlier, Trump had expressed skepticism towards cryptocurrencies, calling them a "scam." However, during his 2024 campaign, he became the first presidential candidate to accept digital assets as donations.

此前，川普曾對加密貨幣表示懷疑，稱其為「騙局」。然而，在 2024 年競選期間，他成為第一位接受數位資產捐贈的總統候選人。

During his campaign, Trump also stated that he would create a strategic reserve of Bitcoin and appoint financial regulators who would adopt a more positive stance on digital assets.

川普在競選期間也表示，他將建立比特幣策略儲備，並任命金融監管機構對數位資產採取更積極的立場。

Such statements led to expectations that the future US President would ease regulations on the crypto industry.

這些言論引發了人們對未來美國總統將放鬆對加密貨幣產業的監管的預期。

After Trump's victory, Bitcoin soared to another all-time high and is currently valued at around $107,000.

川普獲勝後，比特幣飆升至歷史新高，目前估值約為 107,000 美元。
