Meme coins, a type of cryptocurrency issued without a practical purpose, mainly for fun, have seen a recent surge in popularity among Korean investors. Now, a meme coin launched by Trump himself has debuted on Korea's virtual asset exchanges.

Meme 币是一种没有实际目的、主要是为了好玩而发行的加密货币，最近在韩国投资者中人气飙升。现在，特朗普本人推出的一款模因币已在韩国虚拟资产交易所首次亮相。

Officials at cryptocurrency exchanges said Thursday that Official Trump, a meme coin launched by Trump last week in the U.S., has started trading on two out of the five virtual asset exchanges in Korea. They added that the coin is exhibiting significant price swings, which could deepen negative perceptions of the cryptocurrency market.

加密货币交易所的官员周四表示，特朗普上周在美国推出的模因币“Official Trump”已开始在韩国五家虚拟资产交易所中的两家进行交易。他们补充说，该代币的价格波动很大，这可能会加深人们对加密货币市场的负面看法。

Launched on Friday in the U.S., Official Trump is now available for transactions on Bithumb and Coinone among Korean exchanges.

官方特朗普于周五在美国推出，现已可在韩国交易所的 Bithumb 和 Coinone 上进行交易。

As of Thursday, the coin’s price at Coinone surged 135 percent to 83,900 won ($58.39) within 30 minutes of its listing on Monday. But it lost half of those gains the following trading day. Since then, it has seen further fluctuations, trading at approximately 55,000 won Thursday.

截至周四，该代币在 Coinone 的价格在周一上市后 30 分钟内飙升了 135% 至 83,900 韩元（58.39 美元）。但在接下来的交易日，它损失了一半的涨幅。此后，价格进一步波动，周四交易价格约为 55,000 韩元。

At Bithumb, the coin's price jumped 34 percent shortly after its Tuesday evening listing, reaching a peak of 71,650 won before sliding back to 55,000 won Thursday.

在 Bithumb，该代币的价格在周二晚上上市后不久就上涨了 34%，达到 71,650 韩元的峰值，然后周四回落至 55,000 韩元。

"Trump is likely to use his coin holders as a powerful community base for collective action," Ju Ki-young, CryptoQuant Founder and CEO, wrote on social platform X. "The coin’s value depends entirely on what Trump does."

CryptoQuant 创始人兼首席执行官 Ju Ki-young 在社交平台 X 上写道：“特朗普可能会利用他的代币持有者作为集体行动的强大社区基础。代币的价值完全取决于特朗普的所作所为。”

Meme coins tend to have an unlimited or excessively abundant supply, which is a key factor behind their significant speculation and price volatility.

模因币的供应量往往是无限的或过于丰富，这是其投机行为严重和价格波动背后的关键因素。

Officials are concerned that such volatility could deepen negative perceptions of the cryptocurrency market, especially as Korea's crypto market moves toward greater institutionalization and self-regulation.

官员们担心，这种波动可能会加深人们对加密货币市场的负面看法，特别是在韩国加密货币市场走向更大程度的制度化和自我监管之际。

"My concern is that people unfamiliar with the cryptocurrency industry may view the industry solely as speculative," said an industry official, who declined to be named.

一位不愿透露姓名的行业官员表示：“我担心的是，不熟悉加密货币行业的人可能会认为该行业只是投机性的。”

"While the artificial intelligence agent narrative previously dominated the market, Trump-themed coins are now emerging as the leading trend. There’s growing community support for buying Trump-associated coins," said Hwang Hyo-jun, a researcher at Xangle.

Xangle 研究员黄孝俊 (Hwang Hyo-jun) 表示：“虽然人工智能代理的说法之前主导了市场，但特朗普主题硬币现在正在成为主导趋势。社区对购买特朗普相关硬币的支持越来越多。”

Following Trump's successful coin launch, some investors speculate that cryptocurrencies linked to Trump or his family could become a trend this year.

在特朗普成功发行加密货币后，一些投资者猜测与特朗普或其家族相关的加密货币可能会成为今年的一种趋势。

"I expect to see coins emerging that are closely linked to Trump or his family members, such as Don Jr. or Eric Trump," said an industry official. "Investors seem to be buying any coins that are remotely connected to Trump."

一位行业官员表示：“我预计将会出现与特朗普或其家族成员（例如小唐或埃里克·特朗普）密切相关的硬币。” “投资者似乎正在购买任何与特朗普有远程联系的代币。”

However, ethical concerns have been raised, with U.S. lawmakers accusing the Trump family of using political influence to promote personal business ventures. Even within the crypto industry, there is unease about political meme coins.

然而，道德问题引起了人们的关注，美国立法者指责特朗普家族利用政治影响力促进个人商业投资。即使在加密货币行业内，政治模因硬币也存在不安。

"Personally, I don't think it's a good thing. I think it’s important for cryptocurrencies to maintain a certain level of dignity," said an official at one of Korea's largest cryptocurrency exchanges.

“我个人认为这不是一件好事。我认为加密货币保持一定程度的尊严很重要，”韩国最大的加密货币交易所之一的一位官员表示。

"I think it’s fine for people to have fun, but I hope they approach it with caution and not get swept up in the hype. I'm worried that this could damage the industry's reputation, which we've worked so hard to build."

“我认为人们玩得开心很好，但我希望他们谨慎对待，不要被炒作所淹没。我担心这可能会损害我们辛辛苦苦建立的行业声誉。 ”

Experts fear that the speculation such coins generate could harm the industry's reputation, particularly as Korea's crypto market moves toward greater institutionalization and self-regulation.

专家担心，此类代币产生的投机行为可能会损害该行业的声誉，特别是在韩国的加密货币市场走向更大程度的制度化和自我监管之际。

"I think the listing of Official Trump cannot be dismissed as the 'hasty listing of worthless coins,'" said Daniel Kim, founder and CEO of Tiger Research.

Tiger Research 创始人兼首席执行官丹尼尔·金 (Daniel Kim) 表示：“我认为，特朗普官方的上市不能被视为‘草率上市毫无价值的代币’。”

"We can view this as a natural progression within the market if proper risk disclosures and transparency are ensured, like in the case of Trump coins,” he added.

“如果确保适当的风险披露和透明度，就像特朗普硬币的情况一样，我们可以将其视为市场内的自然进展，”他补充道。
