戴维·萨克斯（David Sacks），唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）和他的风险投资公司Craft Ventures的AI和Crypto的“沙皇”和加密货币

根据彭博社的说法，援引白宫的一份备忘录，麻袋和手工艺品清算了他们的整个加密货币组合-Bitcoin（BTC），以太坊（ETH），Solana（Solan）（Solana（Sol））在1月20日特朗普就职之前。

President Donald Trump's go-to “czar” for AI and crypto, David Sacks, and his venture-capital firm, Craft Ventures, have recently sold a whopping $200 million worth of digital asset holdings.

唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）总统为AI和Crypto，David Sacks和他的风险投资公司Craft Ventures登上了“沙皇”，最近出售了价值2亿美元的数字资产持有量。

According to Bloomberg, citing a White House counsel, David Warrington, on March 5 during a hearing with the Senate Judiciary Committee, Sacks and Craft liquidated their entire crypto portfolio—Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and more—before Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20.

据彭博社报道，戴维·沃灵顿（David Warrington）在3月5日在参议院司法委员会的听证会上援引戴维·沃灵顿（David Warrington）的说法，萨克斯和工艺清算了他们的整个加密货币投资组合-Bitcoin（BTC）（BTC），以太坊（ETH），Solana（Solan），Solana（Sol）（Sol）等，在特朗普在1月20日举行之前。

This revelation came in response to inquiries from Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who had also been pressing for Sacks to release his financial disclosures to the public. By divesting his crypto holdings before taking on the role of crypto adviser, Sacks is clearly distancing himself from any potential bias.

这一启示是为了回应民主党参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦（Elizabeth Warren）的询问，后者还一直敦促麻袋向公众发布财务披露。通过在担任加密顾问的角色之前剥离他的加密货币，萨克斯显然使自己远离了任何潜在的偏见。

But Trump’s track record on the matter? That’s a different story.

但是特朗普关于此事的往绩吗？那是一个不同的故事。

Potential conflicts of interest

潜在的利益冲突

On the eve of his inauguration, Trump launched his very own memecoin, Official Trump (TRUMP) — a token that has no utility. But that didn’t stop it from gaining a cult following and peaking at a staggering valuation of $15 billion. Sadly, those loyal followers are now nursing huge losses as the coin plummeted. It’s currently down about 83.5% from its all-time high.

在就职典礼的前夕，特朗普推出了自己的纪念特朗普（特朗普），这是没有效用的代币。但这并没有阻止它获得追随者的追随，并以惊人的估值达到150亿美元。可悲的是，随着硬币暴跌，这些忠实的追随者现在正在护理巨大的损失。目前，它的历史最高水平下降了约83.5％。

Those who invested in the token lost billions after it crashed and burned.

那些投资代币崩溃并燃烧后损失了数十亿美元的人。

According to a recent Financial Times investigation, the project managed to raise at least $350 million in the first three weeks following its launch. And despite claims that the token is “not distributed or sold by Donald Trump or his affiliates,” the subsidiary of Trump's company, CIC Digital, and Fight Fight Fight LLC appear to be the major backers of the memecoin, collectively holding a whopping 80% of the token.

根据最近的《金融时报》的调查，该项目在推出后的前三周设法筹集了至少3.5亿美元。尽管宣称该令牌“不是唐纳德·特朗普或其分支机构分发或出售”，但特朗普公司CIC Digital和Fight Fight Fight Fight LLC的子公司似乎是Memecoin的主要支持者，共同持有80％的代币。

Trump’s crypto ventures didn’t stop there. Last September, he launched World Liberty Financial, a decentralized finance platform that peddles the WLFI token. His sons—Eric, Don Jr., and Barron—are all reportedly involved in the project.

特朗普的加密货币并不止于此。去年9月，他推出了世界自由金融（World Liberty Financial），这是一个分散的金融平台，兜售WLFI代币。据报道，他的儿子 - 欧洲，小唐和巴伦都参与了该项目。

This week, World Liberty Financial managed to raise $550 million in a token sale, pushing its total funding close to $600 million so far. Out of this sum, $550 million was secured through selling its WLFI tokens, according to data from ICO Drops.

本周，World Liberty Financial设法筹集了5.5亿美元的代币销售，到目前为止，其总资金接近6亿美元。根据ICO Drops的数据，在这笔款项中，通过出售其WLFI代币获得了5.5亿美元。

Last month, crypto.news reported that World Liberty Financial sold over 24 billion tokens, leaving around 950 million tokens available for purchase.

上个月，Crypto.News报道说，世界自由金融售出了超过240亿个令牌，可购买约9.5亿代币。

It’s worth noting that, on March 6, Trump signed a second Executive Order to establish a U.S. Bitcoin reserve and a Digital Asset Stockpile. At the time, Sacks downplayed the decision to include altcoins in the stockpile. He explained that it was a "political decision" to include anything other than BTC.

值得注意的是，3月6日，特朗普签署了第二项行政命令，以建立美国比特币储备和数字资产库存。当时，萨克斯（Sacks）淡化了在库存中包括替代币的决定。他解释说，包括BTC以外的任何东西是一个“政治决定”。

Buddying up to Binance?

伙伴到binance？

Meanwhile, rumors have swirled that Binance is in talks with Trump and/or World Liberty Financial to sell a financial stake in its U.S. arm.

同时，有传言称，Binance正在与特朗普和/或世界自由财务上的对话，以在其美国党中出售财务利益。

The discussions reportedly began after Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, began looking to reestablish a presence in the U.S. market following a turbulent period that saw it withdraw from the country in 2021.

据报道，讨论始于全球最大的加密货币交易所Binance之后，在动荡的时期看到它于2021年退出该国，开始寻求在美国市场上的存在。

According to Bitsonic Central, the rumors suggest that a pardon for Binance founder and former CEO Changpeng Zhao could be linked to the sale of a stake in the U.S. exchange. However, it remains unclear whether the stake would be contingent on a pardon or vice versa.

根据Bitsonic Central的说法，谣言表明，Binance创始人和前首席执行官Changpeng Zhao的赦免可能与在美国交易所的股份出售有关。但是，目前尚不清楚该股份是否会借给赦免，反之亦然。

As for the pardon, it's no secret that Trump is known for granting pardons to those in legal trouble, and Zhao has certainly faced his fair share of legal woes recently. Binance has been the subject of several investigations by U.S. authorities for allegedly facilitating money laundering and flouting securities regulations.

至于赦免，特朗普以赦免法律麻烦的人而闻名并非秘密，而赵最近面临着他的合法困境。 Binance一直是美国当局的几项调查主题，据称据称促进了洗钱和违反证券法规。

However, under the Trump administration, cryptocurrency companies like Binance stand to benefit from relatively loose regulations compared to the Biden administration. So far, the Trump-appointed leadership of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has halted numerous investigations into crypto-related companies that began under President Joe Biden’s watch — including Binance.

但是，在特朗普政府的领导下，与拜登政府相比，像Binance这样的加密货币公司将受益于相对松散的法规。到目前为止，美国证券交易委员会的特朗普任命领导层已经停止了对与加密相关的公司进行的许多调查，这些公司在乔·拜登（Joe Biden）总统（包括binance）（包括binance）中开始了。
