美国总统唐纳德·特朗普在周一就职前不久推出加密代币引发了新的利益冲突担忧

道德专家和业内人士表示。 特朗普已承诺将其资产的管理权交给他的孩子，但加密资产引起了特别的担忧

U.S. President Donald Trump's launch of a crypto token shortly before his inauguration on Monday sparked conflict-of-interest concerns, with ethics experts and industry insiders highlighting the new conflict zone.

美国总统唐纳德·特朗普在周一就职前不久推出的加密代币引发了利益冲突担忧，道德专家和业内人士强调了新的冲突区。

Trump, who has pledged to hand management of his assets to his children, has now created a crypto asset that raises particular concerns due to its ability to quickly attract billions of speculative dollars with little transparency, they said.

他们表示，特朗普承诺将其资产的管理权交给他的孩子，现在他创建了一种加密资产，由于其能够在几乎不透明的情况下迅速吸引数十亿美元的投机资金，因此引起了特别关注。

The companies behind the "meme coins" $TRUMP and $MELANIA, for first lady Melania Trump, said they are not investments or securities but are an expression of support.

第一夫人梅拉尼娅·特朗普的“模因币”$TRUMP和$MELANIA背后的公司表示，它们不是投资或证券，而是一种支持的表达。

The tokens follow Trump-branded non-fungible tokens, sneakers and a Bible, among other items he has launched.

这些代币是继特朗普品牌的不可替代代币、运动鞋和圣经以及他推出的其他物品之后推出的。

But ethics advisers and industry experts say this investment is different because his administration will regulate an industry in which he has a stake through the new token, and one where any value is arguably tied to his presidency.

但道德顾问和行业专家表示，这项投资是不同的，因为他的政府将监管他通过新代币持有股份的行业，而这个行业的任何价值都可以说与他的总统任期有关。

The companies behind the Trump token, CIC Digital LLC, an affiliate of the Trump Organization, and Fight Fight Fight LLC, co-owned by CIC Digital, collectively own 80% of the tokens, meaning that Trump-linked businesses could have gained $8 billion worth of crypto over the weekend.

特朗普代币背后的公司，即特朗普组织的附属公司 CIC Digital LLC 和 CIC Digital 共同拥有的 Fight Fight Fight LLC，总共拥有 80% 的代币，这意味着与特朗普相关的企业可能获得 80 亿美元的收益周末的加密货币价值。

"This is a blatant financial conflict of interest on behalf of the president ... It is deepening his engagement in a world that raises real national security concerns," said Danielle Brian, head of the watchdog group Project On Government Oversight.

"Anyone globally, even individuals who have been sanctioned by the U.S. or banned from our capital markets, can now trade and profit off of $TRUMP through various unregulated platforms," U.S. House Financial Services Committee top Democrat Maxine Waters wrote.

美国众议院金融服务委员会主席、民主党人玛克辛·沃特斯 (Maxine Waters) 写道：“全球任何人，甚至是受到美国制裁或被禁止进入我们资本市场的个人，现在都可以通过各种不受监管的平台进行 $TRUMP 交易并从中获利。”

Meme coins typically refer to small, extremely volatile, cryptocurrencies, often named after online jokes or trends. While supporters hope the tokens will rise as the memes go viral, most have little value.

模因币通常指的是小型且极其不稳定的加密货币，通常以在线笑话或趋势命名。虽然支持者希望代币会随着表情包的传播而上涨，但大多数都没有什么价值。

Both the Trump tokens' websites avoid using the word cryptocurrency - referring instead to "fungible crypto assets" and marketing them as memes.

特朗普代币的两个网站都避免使用“加密货币”一词，而是指“可替代的加密资产”并将其作为模因进行营销。

University of Sussex finance professor Carol Alexander said the Trump and Melania tokens were functioning more like fan tokens that took off in 2021 and would likely become a barometer for support of the couple.
