联邦道德规范和加密货币

Federal ethics rules are designed to prevent conflicts of interest involving financial holdings. According to a 2022 opinion from the Office of Government Ethics, federal employees should remove themselves from crypto matters “when there is a real possibility that the matter will result in a gain or loss to the employee’s digital assets.”

联邦道德规则旨在防止涉及金融持有的利益冲突。根据政府道德办公室的2022年意见，联邦雇员应将自己从加密货币事务中删除：“当该事项真正有可能导致员工的数字资产造成收益或损失。”

For example, the office noted that a federal employee could not push for U.S. currencies to back certain crypto coins if the employee stood to profit from such a move.

例如，办公室指出，如果员工从此举中获利，联邦雇员将无法推动美国货币来支持某些加密硬币。

Such warnings would seem to apply to Donald Trump, whose affiliate of his Trump Organization is one of the main owners of $TRUMP, an “official” Trump-themed crypto meme coin.

这种警告似乎适用于唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump），唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）的特朗普组织的会员是特朗普$ trump的主要所有者之一，这是一个以特朗普为主题的Crypto Meme Coin。

The backers of the $TRUMP coin have insisted that the product, which is hosted on the Solana blockchain network, is merely an “expression of support for, and engagement with, the ideals and beliefs embodied by the symbol ’$TRUMP’ and the associated artwork,” and not an investment.

$ trump Coin的支持者坚持认为，该产品位于Solana区块链网络上，仅仅是“表达对符号'$ trump'和相关符号所体现的对理想和信念的支持和互动艺术品，而不是投资。
