民主党议员针对有争议的特朗普模因硬币

这一举动是在投资者从对特朗普模因硬币的曝光率造成的巨大财务损失之中。

Democratic legislators are targeting the controversial TRUMP meme coin, launched by President Donald Trump, with a bill to prevent politicians from launching crypto coins.

民主党议员的目标是唐纳德·特朗普总统发起的有争议的特朗普模因硬币，并提出了一项法案，以防止政客推出加密货币。

This move comes amid substantial financial losses investors have encountered from exposures to the TRUMP meme coin.

这一举动是由于投资者从对特朗普模因硬币的曝光率造成的大量财务损失。

Last month, the TRUMP meme coin and a similar coin by Melania Trump quickly gained attention. They reached historic milestones with multi-billion-dollar valuations just hours after launching.

上个月，梅拉尼亚·特朗普（Melania Trump）的特朗普模因硬币和类似的硬币迅速引起了人们的关注。他们在发布后数小时就达到了历史里程碑，并获得了数十亿美元的估值。

At one point, TRUMP ranked as the second-largest meme coin, trailing only Dogecoin. However, as the hype subsided, the price continued to plummet, with TRUMP falling by 82% from its all-time high.

有一次，特朗普被列为第二大模因硬币，仅落后于狗狗。然而，随着炒作的消退，价格继续下降，特朗普从历史最高时期下降了82％。

This downturn resulted in significant financial losses for many investors. As The Crypto Basic reported, the overwhelming majority of TRUMP buyers lost money.

这一不景气给许多投资者带来了巨大的财务损失。正如Crypto Basic报道的那样，绝大多数特朗普买家损失了钱。

The decline has now caught the attention of lawmakers, including California Democrat Rep. Sam Liccardo. Liccardo is now leading a new effort to curb such financial ventures among U.S. officials.

现在的下降引起了议员的注意，包括加利福尼亚民主党众议员山姆·列卡多。 Liccardo现在正在领导一项新的努力，以遏制美国官员中的这种金融企业。

The MEME Act

模因法

Specifically, Rep. Liccardo is introducing the MEME Act, officially the Modern Emoluments and Malfeasance Enforcement (MEME) Act.

具体来说，众议员Liccardo正在介绍《模因法》，正式的《现代梅尔和渎职执法》（MEME）法案。

This bill would forbid the president and vice president from endorsing, issuing, or sponsoring any financial asset, including meme coins. It will also prohibit members of Congress, senior executive branch officials, and their families from similar activities.

该法案将禁止总统兼副总统认可，发行或赞助包括Meme Coins在内的任何金融资产。它还将禁止国会议员，高级执行部官员及其家人进行类似活动。

Liccardo argues that the Trump family’s involvement in launching these cryptocurrencies amounted to financial exploitation. He stressed that they capitalized on their political influence for personal gain.

Liccardo认为，特朗普家族参与推出这些加密货币的涉及财务剥削。他强调，他们利用了自己的政治影响，以供个人利益。

The legislation aims to prevent federal officials from profiting off digital assets, such as stocks or cryptocurrencies, as it could create conflicts of interest or invite corruption.

该立法旨在防止联邦官员从股票或加密货币等数字资产中获利，因为它可能会造成利益冲突或邀请腐败。

Moreover, Liccardo has expressed concerns about the potential for insider trading and foreign influence over U.S. politics, especially given the global financial reach of such coins.

此外，Liccardo对内幕交易和外国对美国政治的影响的潜力表示关注，尤其是考虑到这种硬币的全球财务影响力。

Challenges Ahead for the MEME Act

《模因法》提出的挑战

Despite Liccardo’s strong stance, the MEME Act faces significant obstacles in the current political landscape.

尽管Liccardo的强烈立场，《模因法》在当前的政治格局中仍面临重大障碍。

With Republicans holding majorities in both the House and Senate, the bill is unlikely to gain traction in the near term. However, Liccardo remains committed to pushing the bill forward, hoping to gain wider support under a future Democratic majority.

由于共和党人在众议院和参议院都持有多数，因此该法案在短期内不太可能受到关注。但是，Liccardo仍然致力于推动该法案前进，希望在未来的民主党多数派的情况下获得更广泛的支持。

Liccardo’s proposal also includes retroactive provisions, meaning it would apply to coins like TRUMP that were issued before the bill’s potential enactment.

Liccardo的提案还包括追溯规定，这意味着它适用于在该法案的潜在颁布之前发布的诸如特朗普之类的硬币。

Violators of the proposed law could face criminal and civil penalties to deter federal officials from profiting off any financial assets linked to their political roles.

违反拟议法律的人可能会面临刑事和民事处罚，以阻止联邦官员从与其政治角色有关的任何金融资产中获利。
