Hashkey全球董事总经理Ben El-Baz：特朗普模因硬币成功将激发一波名人品牌的加密项目

全球加密货币交易所主管周四表示，特朗普模因硬币的成功可能会激发一波名人品牌的加密项目。

HashKey Global Managing Director Ben El-Baz predicted that the success of the Trump meme coin will inspire a wave of celebrity-branded crypto projects.

Hashkey全球董事总经理Ben El-Baz预测，特朗普模因硬币的成功将激发一波名人品牌的加密项目。

In an interview with The Korea Times on Thursday, El-Baz said that the second Donald Trump administration has boosted the mainstream acceptance of cryptocurrencies, especially among conservative investors with little experience in digital asset investments.

埃尔·巴兹（El-Baz）在周四接受《韩国时报》采访时说，第二届唐纳德·特朗普政府（Donald Trump Administration）提高了对加密货币的主流接受，尤其是在数字资产投资经验很少的保守投资者中。

However, he also noted that Trump's involvement with cryptocurrency seems to be more aligned with personal branding and political interests rather than a deep understanding of blockchain technology.

但是，他还指出，特朗普参与加密货币似乎与个人品牌和政治利益更加一致，而不是对区块链技术的深刻理解。

“Trump’s endorsement lends a sense of legitimacy to the Trump meme coin and similar assets, even if this is more emotional than grounded in technology or utility,” he said.

他说：“特朗普的认可使特朗普模因硬币和类似资产具有合法性，即使这比在技术或效用方面更具情感性。”

Trump's backing could attract many retail investors, potentially driving sharp short-term spikes in trading volume and prices.

特朗普的支持可能会吸引许多散户投资者，这可能会推动交易量和价格方面的急剧短期峰值。

“Trump’s team has previously leveraged his image for various nonfungible token launches and engaged with Ethereum-based DeFi (decentralized finance) projects like World Liberty Financial.”

“特朗普的团队此前曾利用他的形象来进行各种不可感态的代币发射，并与基于以太坊的DEFI（分散金融）项目等项目。”

Gaining traction

获得牵引力

Emotions and speculation still play a dominant role in shaping market dynamics despite the maturing technology and ecosystem of the crypto space, as illustrated by the rise of the Trump meme coin, he said.

他说，尽管特朗普模因硬币的兴起所说明，但情绪和猜测仍然在塑造市场动态中起主要作用。

The intersection of politics and cryptocurrency is gaining traction, with the success of the meme coins demonstrating how public events and figures can serve as significant catalysts for the crypto market.

政治与加密货币的交集正在引起人们的关注，模因硬币的成功表明了公共事件和数字如何成为加密货币市场的重要催化剂。

“This trend could lead to the creation of more meme coins and attract a wider range of nontraditional investors. Meme coins are becoming increasingly mainstream," El-Baz said.

“这种趋势可能导致创造更多的模因硬币，并吸引更多的非传统投资者。埃尔·巴兹（El-Baz）说：“模因硬币越来越成为主流。

Once considered a niche part of the market, their popularity surged with figures like Elon Musk promoting Dogecoin, especially during the 2021 bull run.

曾经被认为是市场的一个利基市场，它们的受欢迎程度充满了诸如埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）促进狗狗币（Dogecoin）之类的人物，尤其是在2021年的公牛奔跑期间。

The listing of Doge on major exchanges like Coinbase Pro, along with other animal-themed meme coins like Shiba Inu, brought a large number of noncrypto investors into the space.

在Coinbase Pro等主要交易所的Doge上市以及其他以动物为主题的模因硬币（如Shiba Inu）将大量的非Crypto投资者带入了该领域。

A surge in retail investor interest in the crypto market is attracting a broader audience, as indicated by the increase in cryptocurrency-related app downloads, particularly on iOS and Android platforms, he added.

他补充说，散户投资者对加密市场的兴趣激增正在吸引更广泛的受众，这表明，与加密货币相关的应用程序下载的增加，尤其是在iOS和Android平台上。

“An increasing number of retail investors are turning to cryptocurrencies, shedding its initial tech enthusiast label. The rapidly growing market carries risks, too. A lack of knowledge and experience can lead to blind investments and high-risk behavior, compounded by volatility and potential market bubbles. Education and regulation are vital at this stage," El-Baz said.

“越来越多的零售投资者转向加密货币，抛弃了其最初的技术爱好者标签。快速增长的市场也有风险。缺乏知识和经验可能会导致盲目投资和高风险行为，这是由于波动性和潜在市场泡沫的加剧。在此阶段，教育和法规至关重要。”埃尔·巴兹（El-Baz）说。

Overall, the barriers to entry in the crypto market are lowering. The large-scale adoption expected from Web3 is also underway.

总体而言，加密货币市场的进入障碍正在降低。 Web3预计的大规模采用也正在进行中。

This also increases the risk of market overheating and excessive speculation in the short term.

这也增加了短期内市场过热和过度投机的风险。

However, El-Baz noted that cryptocurrencies are steadily becoming more integrated into the mainstream. The trajectory of crypto will be influenced by short-term market catalysts, including traditional macroeconomic factors such as interest rate policies, inflation and the direction of the U.S. dollar.

但是，埃尔·巴兹（El-Baz）指出，加密货币正在稳步融合到主流中。加密的轨迹将受到短期市场催化剂的影响，包括传统的宏观经济因素，例如利率政策，通货膨胀和美元的方向。

Also in the mix is political support from the Trump administration leading to stricter regulatory scrutiny.

特朗普政府的政治支持也导致了严格的监管审查。

“History shows that only projects that offer real value and technological innovation will endure in the long run. To ensure sustainable growth, regulatory policies must strike a balance between protecting investors and fostering innovation," he said.

“历史表明，从长远来看，只有提供真正价值和技术创新的项目才能持续。为了确保可持续增长，监管政策必须在保护投资者和促进创新之间取得平衡。”
