马萨诸塞州民主党人要求监管机构调查特朗普的模因硬币

马萨诸塞州的两名民主党人致信各种监管机构，要求他们对特朗普总统和第一夫人梅拉尼亚·特朗普最近发射的梅米硬币进行调查。

Massachusetts Democrats Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Jake Auchincloss sent a letter to various regulators on Monday, asking them to open an investigation into President Trump’s and first lady Melania Trump’s meme coins.

马萨诸塞州民主党参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦（Elizabeth Warren）和众议员杰克·奥辛克洛斯（Jake Auchincloss）周一给各种监管机构致信，要求他们对特朗普总统和第一夫人梅拉尼亚·特朗普的模因硬币进行调查。

The letter was sent to the Office of Government Ethics, the Department of the Treasury, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. It asks the regulators how they plan to address the “unprecedented concerns” posed by the meme coins, which were launched last week.

这封信已发送给政府道德办公室，财政部，证券交易委员会以及商品期货贸易委员会。它询问监管机构他们打算如何解决上周推出的模因硬币提出的“前所未有的问题”。

“We write with deep concern about the decision by President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump to launch two meme coins, $TRUMP and $MELANIA, that allow them to earn extraordinary profits off his Presidency,” the lawmakers wrote.

立法者写道：“我们对特朗普总统和第一夫人梅拉尼亚·特朗普的决定深表关注，启动了两枚模因硬币，$ trump和$ melania，这使他们能够从总统任期中获得非凡的利润。”

During a press conference Tuesday, his first full day back in the White House, Trump was asked by a reporter if he intends to continue creating products that benefit himself, like the meme coin.

在周二的新闻发布会上，他在白宫的第一天就被记者询问特朗普是否打算继续创建有益于自己的产品，例如Meme Coin。

The reporter informed the president that he made several billion dollars over the last few days because of the crypto coin. The president shrugged off the sum of money.

记者告诉总统，由于加密货币，他在过去几天赚了数十亿美元。总统耸了耸肩。

The coin was Trump’s first official cryptocurrency. It was announced before his inauguration weekend and quickly shot up in value.

硬币是特朗普的第一个正式加密货币。它是在他的就职周末之前宣布的，并迅速起价。

The lawmakers noted in their letter that the launch of the coin benefited Trump and argued that “hostile nations” can buy the coins covertly, raising an untraceable foreign influence over Trump.

议员们在信中指出，硬币的发射使特朗普受益，并认为“敌对国家”可以秘密地购买硬币，从而对特朗普产生了难以置信的外国影响。

The Democrats also highlighted how crypto coins are known for being “rug pulls,” which means Trump and his business entities could quickly abandon their shares, leaving his supporters who purchased shares “left holding the bag.”

民主党人还强调了加密硬币是如何以“地毯拉的”而闻名的，这意味着特朗普及其商业实体可以迅速放弃其股票，而他的支持者则购买了“剩下持有袋子”的股票。

They also argued there are issues of conflicts of interest with the coin, as Trump took office amid the launch but his organization owns 80 percent of the coin’s shares. Reporting indicates that the coin now accounts for a “whopping 89 percent” of Trump’s net worth and is now responsible for leading the country’s top federal financial entities.

他们还认为，与硬币有利益冲突的问题，特朗普在发布会上任职，但他的组织拥有该硬币的80％的股份。报告表明，该硬币现在占特朗普净资产的“高达89％”，现在负责领导该国最高的联邦金融实体。

The coins, the lawmakers said, “present grave risks to President Trump’s ability to impartially govern our nation.”

议员们说：“硬币对特朗普总统公正地统治我们的国家的能力有严重的风险。”

“Given the ethics, foreign influence, and consumer concerns raised by President’s Trump action, we request the answers to the following questions by February 4, 2025,” the Democrats requested.

民主党要求：“鉴于总统的特朗普行动提出的道德，外国影响力和消费者的担忧，我们要求在2025年2月4日之前对以下问题的答案。”

Trump’s launch sparked criticism from political opponents and members of the crypto world.

特朗普的发射引发了政治反对者和加密世界成员的批评。
