唐纳德·特朗普总统及其家人推出特朗普品牌的加密货币

该代币名为“特朗普”，最初于周五上市，价格为 6.54 美元，最终在周日飙升至 73.43 美元的峰值。

President Donald Trump and his family have launched their own Trump-branded cryptocurrency just days ahead of his inauguration.

唐纳德·特朗普总统及其家人在就职典礼前几天推出了自己的特朗普品牌加密货币。

The coin, named $Trump, was initially listed on Friday at a price of $6.54, before eventually skyrocketing to a peak valuation of $73.43 on Sunday. As Axios noted in their coverage, a Trump-affiliated company owns 80% of the coin's supply, meaning that Trump and his associates briefly gained $50 billion in on-paper wealth.

该代币名为“特朗普”，最初于周五上市，价格为 6.54 美元，最终在周日飙升至 73.43 美元的峰值。正如 Axios 在报道中指出的那样，一家与特朗普有关联的公司拥有该代币 80% 的供应量，这意味着特朗普及其同伙短暂获得了 500 亿美元的纸面财富。

Trump previously called cryptocurrency a scam in 2020, but began to change his tune while on the campaign trail, where he promised to turn the U.S. into the "crypto capital" of the world.

特朗普此前曾在 2020 年称加密货币为骗局，但在竞选期间开始改变论调，承诺将美国变成世界“加密货币之都”。

His wife, Melania Trump, also launched her owned eponymously branded cryptocurrency on Sunday night, but it has failed to see the same kind of initial success as her husband's coin.

他的妻子梅拉尼娅·特朗普(Melania Trump)也在周日晚上推出了她拥有的同名品牌的加密货币，但它未能取得与她丈夫的加密货币相同的初步成功。

“I am extremely proud of what we continue to accomplish in crypto,” Eric Trump said in a statement to The New York Times. “$Trump is currently the hottest digital meme on earth.”

埃里克·特朗普在给《纽约时报》的一份声明中表示：“我对我们在加密领域继续取得的成就感到非常自豪。” “$Trump 是目前地球上最热门的数字模因。”

While Trump and his supporters largely appear very supportive of his nascent crypto ventures, those in the crypto space as a whole have voiced mixed opinions.

虽然特朗普和他的支持者在很大程度上似乎非常支持他新生的加密货币企业，但整个加密货币领域的人们却表达了不同的意见。

Most notably, critics of the new coin are stating that they feel that the move is merely an attempt by Trump to cash-in on his rabid base of supporters. Specifically, they point to Trump and his associates owning the vast majority of the available coins as a tell-tale sign of a pump-and-dump scheme.

最值得注意的是，新硬币的批评者表示，他们认为此举仅仅是特朗普试图利用其狂热支持者群体获利的尝试。具体来说，他们指出特朗普及其同伙拥有绝大多数可用硬币，这是拉高抛售计划的明显迹象。

“Trump owning 80 percent and timing launch hours before inauguration is  predatory and many will likely get hurt by it,” writes Nick Tomaino, a former executive at Coinbase, a leading crypto trading platform, on Xitter.

领先的加密货币交易平台 Coinbase 前高管尼克·托马诺 (Nick Tomaino) 在 Xitter 上写道：“特朗普拥有 80% 的股份，并将发布时间安排在就职典礼之前，这是一种掠夺性行为，许多人可能会因此受到伤害。”
