Strengthening American Leadership in Digital Financial Technology

加强美国在数字金融技术方面的领导

On January 23, Trump issued an Executive Order on Strengthening American Leadership in Digital Financial Technology

1月23日，特朗普发布了一项行政命令，以加强美国在数字金融技术方面的领导

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, and in order to promote United States leadership in digital assets and financial technology while protecting economic liberty, it is hereby ordered as follows: …

由宪法和美利坚合众国法律赋予我总统的当局，为了在保护经济自由的同时促进美国在数字资产和金融技术方面的领导地位，特此订购如下：…

I leave it to the reader to read the rest of the nonsense because Trump has no such authority to do what he says.

我把它留给读者阅读其余的胡说八道，因为特朗普没有这样的权力去做他说的事情。

The article below sums up the situation nicely.

下面的文章很好地总结了情况。

Strategic Corruption Reserve

战略腐败储备

Please consider the Strategic Corruption Reserve

请考虑战略腐败储备

The term “Crypto Strategic Reserve” is a non sequitur since there are no plausible circumstances in which the United States government holding large amounts of cryptocurrencies would be of any strategic benefit.

“加密战略储备”一词是非隔离的，因为在没有合理的情况下，美国政府持有大量加密货币将带来任何战略利益。

A strategic oil reserve is beneficial in the event of a shortage of oil imports or a disruption in domestic oil production. When would a reserve of cryptocurrency be useful? Under what circumstance would the United States need to make a transaction with a crypto token that could not also be made with the dollar?

如果石油进口不足或国内石油生产中断，战略石油储备是有益的。什么时候有用的加密货币储备？在什么情况下，美国需要与无法用美元进行的加密代币进行交易？

It raises the question of why the United States would divert taxpayer resources to obtain these tokens.

它提出了一个问题，即为什么美国会转移纳税人资源以获取这些令牌。

While the public benefit is unclear, the biggest economy in the world buying up large amounts of various crypto tokens would be a financial windfall for the companies that created these tokens and the people who already own them. Those companies and investors also have close political and financial ties to Trump.

尽管公共利益尚不清楚，但全世界最大的经济体购买了大量的各种加密代币将是创建这些代币和已经拥有它们的人的公司的金融意外之财。这些公司和投资者还与特朗普有着密切的政治和财务联系。

For XRP, being included in Trump’s proposed national crypto reserve is a major coup for its creator, Ripple.

对于XRP而言，被包括在特朗普提议的国家加密保护区中，这是其创作者Ripple的重大政变。

Introduced in 2012, XRP is the world’s third-largest cryptocurrency and was designed to speed up international transactions by using XRP as a bridge currency for transactions made through Ripple’s payment network. Most of the large financial institutions that use Ripple’s platform, however, do not use XRP, so the currency has little value other than as a speculative asset. The currency remains highly centralized, with Ripple owning 48 billion XRP of the 100 billion coins in circulation.

XRP于2012年推出，是世界第三大加密货币，旨在通过使用XRP作为通过Ripple的支付网络进行的交易来加快国际交易的速度。但是，大多数使用Ripple平台的大型金融机构都不使用XRP，因此该货币除了投机资产以外几乎没有价值。该货币仍然是高度集中的，波纹在流通中拥有480亿XRP。

In December 2020, the end of Trump’s first term, the SEC issued charges against Ripple related to XRP, alleging that the token was an unregistered security. Initially a court ruled that XRP is a security in certain transactions but not in others, but the SEC appealed that decision. Although the SEC has abandoned many of its other legal actions against crypto firms, the appeal in the XRP case is still pending.

在2020年12月，即特朗普的第一任期结束时，SEC对与XRP有关的波纹发出了指控，指控令牌是未注册的安全性。最初，法院裁定XRP是某些交易的安全性，但在其他交易中不是，但SEC对此决定提出上诉。尽管SEC放弃了针对加密货币公司的许多其他法律诉讼，但XRP案件中的上诉仍在审理中。

Ripple’s improving political fortunes is not an accident. The company contributed $5 million worth of XRP to Trump’s inauguration fund, one of the largest corporate contributions. Ripple also donated $45 million dollars to Fairshake, a Super PAC that supported pro-crypto congressional candidates and played a critical role in securing Republican majorities in the House and Senate. The company has since contributed another $25 million to Fairshake ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

波纹的改善政治命运并不是偶然的。该公司为特朗普的就职基金（最大的公司捐款之一）捐款了价值500万美元的XRP。 Ripple还向Fairshake捐赠了4500万美元，这是一家超级PAC，支持Pro-Crypto国会候选人，并在确保众议院和参议院的共和党多数派中发挥了至关重要的作用。此后，该公司在2026年中期选举之前又为Fairshake贡献了2500万美元。

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse attended Trump’s inauguration and earlier in January, he and Ripple’s chief legal officer had dinner with Trump at Mar-A-Lago. The New York Post reported that Garlinghouse is on the shortlist of candidates for Trump’s crypto advisory council.

Ripple首席执行官布拉德·加林豪斯（Brad Garlinghouse）出席了特朗普的就职典礼，一月初，他和Ripple的首席法律官在Mar-A-Lago与特朗普共进晚餐。 《纽约邮报》报道说，加林豪斯在特朗普加密咨询委员会的候选人名单上。

Garlinghouse praised Trump’s inclusion of smaller and more volatile cryptocurrencies like XRP in the national crypto reserve on X.

加林豪斯（Garlinghouse）赞扬特朗普（Trump）在X的国家加密保护区（National Crypto Reserve）中包括XRP等较小且更动荡的加密货币。

Trump himself could also benefit through the bolstering of the Solana protocol, which hosts most memecoins. In January, Trump and his wife Melania both launched their own memecoins on Solana. Including Solana in a crypto reserve may benefit the Solana network and, as a result, boost the value of Trump’s memecoin.

特朗普本人也可以通过对索拉纳协议的加强来受益，该协议主持了大多数纪念物。一月份，特朗普和他的妻子梅拉尼亚（Melania）都在索拉纳（Solana）发起了自己的成员。在加密保护区中包括索拉纳（Solana）可能会使Solana网络受益，从而提高特朗普的成员的价值。

Questions Abound

问题比比皆是

No Vested Power to Fund This

没有既得的权力来资助

There is no vested power for Trump to fund a crypto reserve with taxpayer or Treasury funds.

特朗普没有既得权力可以通过纳税人或财政资金为加密储备金提供资金。

I am not sure who if anyone would have standing to block a crypto advisory committee, but I fail to see how Trump can get this legally funded without Congress or gifts that would then become government assets that Congress could appropriate.

我不确定谁是否有任何人会阻止加密咨询委员会，但我看不到特朗普在没有国会或礼物的情况下如何获得这项合法资助，或者将成为国会可以适当的政府资产。

Even crypto fans should be nauseated by this effort, the hypocrisy, and the obvious inherent corruption.

即使是加密货币的粉丝也应该因这种努力，伪善和明显的内在腐败而感到恶心。

Will the US Be that Stupid?

美国会这么愚蠢吗？

Q: What do you mean?

问：你是什么意思？

A: Have a crypto reserve.

答：有一个加密储备。

I don’t know. If Congress approves and funds a crypto reserve, then we will have one.

我不知道。如果国会批准并资助了加密储备，那么我们将拥有一份加密储备。

But we won’t have one by executive order because Trump has no authority to authorize and fund projects.

但是我们不会按行政命令进行一个，因为特朗普无权授权和资助项目。

And if you are foolish enough to be cheering for this, wait until Democrats use their “vested power” to do similar things.

而且，如果您愚蠢到为此欢呼，请等待民主党人使用他们的“既得力量”来做类似的事情。
