唐纳德·特朗普正在推出加密货币。这是它与比特币的不同之处。

这位前总统和共和党领跑者将于明天推出一种加密货币，但这种加密货币与加密货币市场上的许多其他加密货币有很大不同。

Donald Trump is launching a cryptocurrency tomorrow, but the coin is significantly different from many others in the crypto market.

唐纳德·特朗普明天将推出一种加密货币，但该货币与加密货币市场上的许多其他货币有很大不同。

The former president and Republican frontrunner will be offering a token for World Liberty Financial (WLFI), which is a decentralized finance platform.

这位前总统和共和党领跑者将为世界自由金融（WLFI）提供代币，这是一个去中心化金融平台。

The waitlist opens tomorrow at 8 a.m. ET in what Trump has pledged to be his first step to "make America the crypto capital of the world."

等候名单将于美国东部时间明天上午 8 点开放，特朗普承诺这是他“让美国成为世界加密货币之都”的第一步。

"I promised to Make America Great Again, this time with crypto," Trump wrote on Truth Social last month. "@WorldLibertyFi is planning to help make America the crypto capital of the world! The whitelist for eligible persons is officially open—this is your chance to be part of this historic moment."

特朗普上个月在 Truth Social 上写道：“我承诺让美国再次伟大，这次是通过加密货币。” “@WorldLibertyFi 计划帮助美国成为世界加密货币之都！合格人员的白名单已正式开放 - 这是您参与这一历史性时刻的机会。”

WLFI works as a money market for people to borrow, lend and earn interest on their cryptocurrencies. In the process, the platform has removed financial intermediaries for users.

WLFI 是一个货币市场，供人们借入、贷出加密货币并赚取利息。在此过程中，该平台为用户消除了金融中介机构。

Users will also be able to get a token that ensures they have voting rights over WLFI.

用户还可以获得代币，以确保他们拥有 WLFI 的投票权。

"This is more than just a financial venture," Ryan Waite, a political marketing expert and the VP of Public Affairs at Think Big, told Newsweek.

“这不仅仅是一次金融冒险，”政治营销专家、Think Big 公共事务副总裁瑞安·韦特 (Ryan Waite) 告诉《新闻周刊》。

"It partially represents a larger political statement aimed at rallying supporters to engage with the Trump movement while participating in the emerging decentralized finance (DeFi) space. The WLF token is being promoted as an opportunity for supporters to 'shape the future of finance,' emphasizing financial autonomy and conservative values."

“它在一定程度上代表了一项更大的政治声明，旨在团结支持者参与特朗普运动，同时参与新兴的去中心化金融（DeFi）领域。WLF 代币正在被宣传为支持者“塑造金融未来”的机会，强调财务自主权和保守价值观。”

Here's How Trump's New Crypto Coin Differs from Bitcoin

特朗普的新加密货币与比特币有何不同

While bitcoin might be the most common type of crypto known to most Americans, Trump's new crypto coin differs in several ways.

虽然比特币可能是大多数美国人所知道的最常见的加密货币类型，但特朗普的新加密货币在几个方面有所不同。

"Whereas bitcoin is primarily a decentralized digital currency and a store of value, the WLF token operates within a larger DeFi platform and has elements of governance, utility, and political messaging," Waite said. "It's intended to serve as both an investment vehicle and a utility token, empowering its holders to participate in borrowing, lending, and governance within the World Liberty Financial ecosystem."

韦特说：“比特币主要是一种去中心化的数字货币和价值储存手段，而 WLF 代币在更大的 DeFi 平台中运行，并具有治理、实用性和政治信息等元素。” “它旨在充当投资工具和实用代币，使其持有人能够参与世界自由金融生态系统内的借贷和治理。”

While most crypto can be traded, the WLFI coin will be non-transferable and non-yielding. Additionally, a majority of the WLFI coin will be for accredited investors, with 63 percent of the token supply reserved for this group.

虽然大多数加密货币都可以交易，但 WLFI 代币将不可转让且不可收益。此外，大部分 WLFI 代币将供认可投资者使用，其中 63% 的代币供应量为该群体保留。

That's specifically available to those who have a net worth of $1 million or more or otherwise meet the accredited investor threshold.

这是专门为那些净资产达到或超过 100 万美元或符合认可投资者门槛的人提供的。

So far, more than 100,000 accredited American investors have been whitelisted for the project.

到目前为止，已有超过10万名经过认证的美国投资者已被列入该项目的白名单。

From the WLFI sale, Trump anticipates making $300 million for the company, which would give it an overall business value of $1.5 billion.

特朗普预计通过 WLFI 的出售将为该公司带来 3 亿美元的收入，这将使其整体业务价值达到 15 亿美元。

Trump's upcoming launch has been met with some concerns over how the platform could potentially violate the Constitution. If foreign governments are able to use the platform, it could potentially create a conflict of interest under a second Trump presidency.

特朗普即将推出的平台引起了一些人的担忧，人们担心该平台可能违反宪法。如果外国政府能够使用该平台，则可能会在特朗普第二任总统期间产生利益冲突。

"Anyone who thinks this is good for crypto, that it doesn't make us look like clowns, that it doesn't set us back YEARS in credibility.... This is such an obvious pump scheme. Maybe he won't literally rug but he's just grifting and it's pathetic," Alex Miller, a crypto expert and the CEO of Hiro Systems, wrote on Truth Social upon hearing of Trump's launch.

“任何认为这对加密货币有利的人，它不会让我们看起来像小丑，它不会让我们的信誉倒退数年......这是一个如此明显的泵计划。也许他不会真的这么做加密货币专家兼 Hiro Systems 首席执行官亚历克斯·米勒 (Alex Miller) 在听到特朗普的推出后在 Truth Social 上写道。

The specific requirements for the majority of the crypto holders being accredited investors also have many complaining about the elitist nature of the project.

对大多数加密货币持有者作为合格投资者的具体要求也引起了许多人对该项目精英主义性质的抱怨。

"I wish I could qualify on the whitelist!.... Once again middle class is weeded out!" @PharmD999 wrote on Truth Social.

“我希望我能进入白名单！……中产阶级再次被淘汰！” @PharmD999 在 Truth Social 上写道。

A Look at Trump's Past Crypto Views

特朗普过去的加密货币观点

While Trump might be embracing crypto as the way of the future now, the former president used to be against the digital payment system.

虽然特朗普现在可能会拥抱加密货币作为未来的发展方向，但这位前总统曾经反对数字支付系统。

After meeting with major Bitcoin players at his Mar-a-Lago home in June, Trump urged crypto investors to vote for him, saying he would counteract "Biden's hatred of Bitcoin."

六月，特朗普在海湖庄园的家中与比特币主要参与者会面后，敦促加密货币投资者投票给他，并表示他将抵消“拜登对比特币的仇恨”。

That was a far cry from Trump's perspective on crypto during his time in the White House.

这与特朗普在白宫期间对加密货币的看法相去甚远。

"I am not a fan of Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies, which are not money, and whose value is highly volatile and based on thin air," Trump wrote on social media in 2019. "Unregulated Crypto Assets can facilitate unlawful behavior, including drug trade and other illegal activity."

特朗普于 2019 年在社交媒体上写道：“我不是比特币和其他加密货币的粉丝，它们不是货币，其价值高度波动且凭空而来。不受监管的加密资产可能会助长非法行为，包括毒品交易以及其他非法活动。”

"We have only one real currency in the USA," Trump also said. "And it will always stay that way. It is called the United States Dollar!"

“我们在美国只有一种真实货币，”特朗普还表示。 “而且它将永远保持这种状态。它被称为美元！”

Trump also previously told Fox Business that bitcoin "just seems like a scam."

特朗普此前还告诉福克斯商业频道，比特币“看起来就像是一个骗局”。

But Waite said Trump's changing perspective could reflect the shifting views of his own voter base.

但韦特表示，特朗普观点的转变可能反映了他自己选民基础观点的转变。

"This turnaround seems partly driven by the growing popularity of crypto, especially among segments of his support base who see digital assets as a means to circumvent centralized financial control," Waite said.

韦特说：“这种转变似乎在一定程度上是由于加密货币的日益普及所推动的，特别是在他的支持基础中，他们将数字资产视为规避集中金融控制的一种手段。”
