Tech industry members of the digital-assets community attended the "Crypto Ball" Friday night in Washington, D.C., to celebrate the incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump, which the crowd hopes will lift their sector into U.S. legitimacy.

数字资产社区的科技行业成员周五晚上参加了在华盛顿特区举行的“加密舞会”，庆祝当选总统唐纳德·特朗普即将上任，人们希望这将提升他们的行业在美国的合法性。

The event was held at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium, where attendees wore tuxedos and finery, despite the industry's famous dressed-down style. Among the big names in crypto at the event were Michael Saylor, Brian Armstrong, the Winklevoss brothers and Jesse Powell. Future officials in the incoming administration were also present, most notably Trump's crypto czar pick, David Sacks.

该活动在安德鲁·W·梅隆礼堂举行，尽管业内以着装风格着称，但与会者仍穿着燕尾服和华丽服饰。参加此次活动的加密货币界知名人士包括迈克尔·塞勒 (Michael Saylor)、布莱恩·阿姆斯特朗 (Brian Armstrong)、文克莱沃斯兄弟 (Winklevoss brothers) 和杰西·鲍威尔 (Jesse Powell)。即将上任的政府未来的官员也出席了会议，其中最著名的是特朗普挑选的加密货币沙皇大卫·萨克斯(David Sacks)。

As attendees drank cocktails and ate truffle tuna tartare, they enjoyed a performance from rapper Snoop Dogg and a visit from Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, which could be more significant for their Washington prospects.

当与会者喝着鸡尾酒、吃着松露金枪鱼鞑靼时，他们欣赏了说唱歌手史努比狗狗的表演和众议院议长迈克·约翰逊的到访，这对他们在华盛顿的前景可能更重要。

The event marks the dramatic upswing in Washington fortunes for the crypto industry. With red "Make Bitcoin Great Again" hats being circulated at the event, the attendees are counting on a close relationship with the new administration and the new session of Congress, which could finally cement policy to establish digital assets as a full-fledged part of the regulated U.S. financial sector.

这一事件标志着华盛顿加密行业的命运急剧上升。随着“让比特币再次伟大”的红色帽子在活动中流传，与会者指望与新政府和新一届国会建立密切关系，这最终可能巩固将数字资产确立为成熟部分的政策。受监管的美国金融部门。

U.S. tech firms — including crypto companies — used inauguration contributions as another means of showing financial support for the new administration after Trump had already benefited from a number of big-dollar campaign supporters. Some of the crypto businesses that made major contributions to Trump's inaugural committee include Coinbase, Ripple, Kraken and Circle, which helped bring the total to record levels. Some of the same companies are also on the Crypto Ball's sponsor list.

在特朗普已经从一些大额竞选支持者那里受益之后，包括加密货币公司在内的美国科技公司将就职捐款作为向新政府表示财政支持的另一种方式。为特朗普就职委员会做出重大贡献的一些加密企业包括 Coinbase、Ripple、Kraken 和 Circle，这些企业使总数达到了创纪录的水平。其中一些公司也在加密球的赞助商名单上。

The four-hour affair was advertised at various prices, with tickets ranging from $2,500 to $5,000. A spokesperson billed the event as an "exclusive social event," and the outside press was barred from joining the crowd of CEOs and founders.

这场长达四小时的活动以不同的价格进行了广告宣传，票价从 2,500 美元到 5,000 美元不等。一位发言人将此次活动称为“独家社交活动”，外部媒体被禁止加入首席执行官和创始人的行列。

The government auditorium is nestled among the neoclassical buildings that house the Environmental Protection Agency headquarters. It's the same historic space that saw the signatures that gave birth to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and also President Bill Clinton's signing of the North American Free Trade Agreement (both of which are roundly criticized by the incoming president). On Sunday, the venue will also house the inauguration-eve party hosted by conservative news purveyor Newsmax.

政府礼堂坐落在环境保护局总部所在的新古典主义建筑之中。正是在这个历史空间里，北大西洋公约组织诞生了，比尔·克林顿总统也签署了北美自由贸易协定（这两项协定都受到了即将上任的总统的严厉批评）。周日，该场地还将举办由保守派新闻提供商 Newsmax 主办的就职前夜派对。

By Monday, Trump will be sworn in as president. That ceremony is being moved indoors because of forecasts of temperatures even more frigid than the day Barack Obama first took the same oath. Trump's crypto supporters expect the ceremony to be quickly followed by a rain of executive orders and appointments that they're betting will put the industry on firmer footing with the U.S. government.

到周一，特朗​​普将宣誓就任总统。由于预计气温比巴拉克·奥巴马首次宣誓时更加寒冷，仪式将移至室内进行。特朗普的加密货币支持者预计，仪式结束后将很快出台大量行政命令和任命，他们相信这些命令和任命将使该行业在美国政府中站稳脚跟。
