特朗普总统否认了有关他在推出新加密货币代币后赚了数十亿美元的报道

两天后，第一夫人梅拉尼娅·特朗普推出了她的加密货币 $MELANIA。周二，当记者问他是否计划在担任总统期间继续销售对他个人有利的产品时，特朗普回答说：“我不知道是否受益。”

President Donald Trump on Tuesday dismissed reports that he made billions after launching his new cryptocurrency token last week, as his wife, First Lady Melania Trump, also launched her own cryptocurrency called $MELANIA.

唐纳德·特朗普总统周二否认了有关他上周推出新的加密货币代币后赚了数十亿美元的报道，因为他的妻子第一夫人梅拉尼娅·特朗普也推出了自己的加密货币 $MELANIA。

When a reporter asked Trump if he planned to continue selling products that personally benefit him during his presidency, he replied, “I don’t know if it benefited.”

当记者问特朗普是否计划在总统任期内继续销售对他个人有利的产品时，他回答说：“我不知道是否受益。”

“I don’t know where it is. I don’t know much about it other than I launched it,” he added. “I heard it was very successful. I haven’t checked it. Where is it today?”

“我不知道它在哪里。除了我推出了它之外，我对它了解不多，”他补充道。 “我听说这次活动非常成功。我没查过。今天在哪儿？”

After being told that he might have made billions from his meme coin, the president chuckled and said, “That’s peanuts for these guys,” referring to the tech billionaires who were present to help him announce a new artificial intelligence initiative.

在被告知他可能从他的模因币中赚了数十亿美元后，总统笑着说：“这对这些人来说简直就是小菜一碟”，他指的是在场帮助他宣布一项新的人工智能计划的科技亿万富翁。

Trump unveiled the token, which he dubbed “$TRUMP,” on Friday, inviting his followers to “Join my very special Trump Community.” According to CoinMarketCap, the market capitalization of the president’s coin currently stands at $8.32 billion, while Melania’s token has reached $777 million.

周五，特朗普推出了他称之为“$TRUMP”的代币，邀请他的追随者“加入我非常特别的特朗普社区”。根据 CoinMarketCap 的数据，总统代币的市值目前为 83.2 亿美元，而梅拉尼娅的代币已达到 7.77 亿美元。

However, some members of the crypto industry have raised concerns about the glaring conflict of interest, as Trump now has the authority to set policies that could impact the crypto industry while also standing to benefit directly from the sale of the Trump family’s tokens.

然而，加密行业的一些成员对明显的利益冲突表示担忧，因为特朗普现在有权制定可能影响加密行业的政策，同时也可以直接从特朗普家族代币的销售中受益。

“It is literally cashing in on the presidency — creating a financial instrument so people can transfer money to the president’s family in connection with his office,” Adav Noti, executive director of a nonprofit ethics group, Campaign Legal Center, told The New York Times. “It is beyond unprecedented.”

非营利道德组织竞选法律中心的执行董事阿达夫·诺蒂（Adav Noti）告诉《纽约时报》：“这实际上是在利用总统职位来赚钱——创造一种金融工具，这样人们就可以向总统的家人转移与他的办公室有关的资金。” 。 “这是前所未有的。”

The website for Trump’s meme coin, on the other hand, includes a disclaimer stating that the cryptocurrency “is not political and has nothing to do with any political campaign or any political office or governmental agency.”

另一方面，特朗普模因币的网站包含一份免责声明，指出该加密货币“不具有政治性，与任何政治竞选或任何政治办公室或政府机构无关”。

“Trump Memes are intended to function as an expression of support for, and engagement with, the ideals and beliefs embodied by the symbol ‘$TRUMP,'” it reads.

“特朗普模因旨在表达对‘$TRUMP’符号所体现的理想和信仰的支持和参与，”它写道。

During his 2024 run for the White House, Trump courted crypto firms, which, according to the nonprofit watchdog Public Citizen, contributed nearly half of the $274 million in corporate money raised during this year's elections. The president, who dubbed himself "the crypto president," also vowed to make America "the crypto capital of the planet."

在 2024 年竞选白宫期间，特朗普向加密货币公司示好，据非营利监管机构 Public Citizen 称，这些公司贡献了今年选举期间筹集的 2.74 亿美元企业资金中的近一半。这位自称为“加密总统”的总统还发誓要让美国成为“地球的加密之都”。
