当选总统唐纳德·特朗普推出了一种加密货币代币，其价值一夜之间暴涨

该产品的发布表明了特朗普将大力拥抱加密货币行业，以及他在准备上任时可能会跨越的模糊道德界限。

President-elect Donald Trump on Friday night launched a cryptocurrency token that soared in value overnight.

当选总统唐纳德·特朗普周五晚上推出了一种加密货币代币，一夜之间价值飙升。

A Trump-owned company now appears to own tens of billions of dollars in the new memecoin, which is set to increase in circulation over the next three years.

特朗普旗下的一家公司现在似乎拥有价值数百亿美元的新模因币，该模因币的流通量将在未来三年内增加。

Trump's financial ties to crypto come as he is vowing to enact an array of policies that would benefit the industry.

特朗普与加密货币的财务联系是在他发誓要制定一系列有利于该行业的政策之际出现的。

A president-elect launching a new business product is a highly unusual move, and it is a major concern for ethics watchdogs.

当选总统推出新的商业产品是一个极不寻常的举动，也是道德监管机构的主要关注点。

President-elect Donald Trump late Friday launched a cryptocurrency token that exploded in value overnight, potentially increasing his net worth by tens of billions of dollars on paper just days before he is set to be sworn in as president.

当选总统唐纳德·特朗普周五晚间推出了一种加密货币代币，该代币的价值一夜之间暴涨，就在他即将宣誓就任总统的几天前，他的纸面净资产可能会增加数百亿美元。

Trump launched the so-called memecoin — a digital token with no intrinsic real-world value that is traded on a digital ledger technology called blockchain — with posts on his social media site and X after 9 p.m., prompting the asset to soar in value. Its market capitalization was above $5 billion as of 2:30 p.m. Saturday, according to data from CoinGecko, and it has seen more than $11 billion in trading volume.

特朗普推出了所谓的模因币（memecoin）——一种没有内在现实价值的数字代币，通过称为区块链的数字账本技术进行交易——晚上 9 点后在他的社交媒体网站和 X 上发布帖子，促使该资产价值飙升。根据 CoinGecko 的数据，截至周六下午 2:30，其市值已超过 50 亿美元，交易量超过 110 亿美元。

A Trump-owned company called CIC Digital LLC owns 80 percent of the coin’s supply, according to its website. Two hundred million of the tokens are currently available, with the circulation set to grow to 1 billion over the next three years, according to the site.

据特朗普旗下一家名为 CIC Digital LLC 的公司网站称，该公司拥有 80% 的代币供应量。据该网站称，目前有 2 亿枚代币可供使用，未来三年发行量将增至 10 亿枚。

The product launch illustrates the lengths Trump is going to embrace the crypto industry and the blurred ethical lines he may be crossing as he prepares to take office. He has previously sold crypto trading cards and his sons launched a digital asset company called World Liberty Financial last August. He also spoke at a major bitcoin conference during the campaign.

该产品的发布表明了特朗普将大力拥抱加密货币行业，以及他在准备上任时可能会跨越的模糊道德界限。他此前曾销售过加密货币交易卡，他的儿子们去年八月创办了一家名为 World Liberty Financial 的数字资产公司。他还在竞选期间的一次重要比特币会议上发表了讲话。

His financial ties to crypto come as he is vowing to enact an array of policies that would benefit the industry, including overhauling how digital assets are regulated and having the government stockpile bitcoin.

他与加密货币的财务联系出现之际，他发誓要制定一系列有利于该行业的政策，包括彻底改革数字资产的监管方式以及让政府储备比特币。

The new memecoin's fully diluted value — the market capitalization of the coin if all tokens were in circulation — was more than $27 billion as of 2:30 p.m. Saturday, according to CoinGecko data, with the price of the token at just above $27. At that price, Trump's company controlled more than $20 billion worth of the asset.

根据 CoinGecko 的数据，截至周六下午 2:30，新 memecoin 的完全稀释价值（如果所有代币都在流通的话，该代币的市值）超过 270 亿美元，代币价格略高于 27 美元。按照这个价格，特朗普的公司控制着价值超过 200 亿美元的资产。

Leading figures in the digital asset industry were gathered at a sold-out unofficial inaugural ball put on by crypto firms when Trump began promoting the coin Friday night. Trump’s incoming crypto and AI czar, venture capitalist David Sacks, told attendees at the event that “the reign of terror against crypto is over, and the beginning of innovation in America for crypto has just begun,” according to a video of his remarks posted on X. Crypto firms have also shelled out at least $10 million to Trump’s inaugural fund, and some top executives are expected to attend his swearing-in on Monday.

当特朗普周五晚上开始推广加密货币时，数字资产行业的领军人物聚集在由加密货币公司举办的一场座无虚席的非官方就职舞会上。根据发布的一段讲话视频，特朗普即将上任的加密货币和人工智能沙皇、风险投资家戴维·萨克斯(David Sacks)在活动中告诉与会者，“针对加密货币的恐怖统治已经结束，美国加密货币创新的开始才刚刚开始”加密货币公司还向特朗普的首个基金投入了至少 1000 万美元，一些高管预计将参加他周一的宣誓就职典礼。

A president-elect launching a new business product is a highly unusual move, and it is a major concern for ethics watchdogs, who say Trump stands to profit from policy changes he is poised to usher in.

当选总统推出新的商业产品是一个极不寻常的举动，也是道德监管机构的主要担忧，他们表示特朗普将从他即将推出的政策变化中获利。

“It is absolutely wild,” said Jordan Libowitz, vice president for communications at the nonprofit Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. “After decades of seeing presidents-elect spend the time leading up to inauguration separating themselves from their finances to show that they don’t have any conflicts of interest, we now have a president-elect who, the weekend before inauguration, is launching new businesses along with promises to deregulate … those sectors in a way to just blatantly profit off his own presidency.”

“这绝对是疯狂的，”华盛顿非营利组织“公民责任与道德”负责通讯的副总裁乔丹·利博维茨(Jordan Libowitz)说。 “几十年来，当选总统在就职典礼前花时间将自己与财务分开，以表明他们没有任何利益冲突，现在我们有了一位当选总统，他在就职前的周末推出了新的计划。并承诺放松对这些行业的监管……以公然从他自己的总统任期中获利。”

Some Trump critics in the crypto sector also worry that the product is a bad look. Anthony Scaramucci, a crypto evangelist who briefly served as Trump’s communications director in his first term before turning into a fierce critic, wrote on X Saturday that it “is bad for the industry.”

加密货币领域的一些特朗普批评者也担心该产品外观不佳。加密货币布道者安东尼·斯卡拉穆奇(Anthony Scaramucci)在特朗普第一个任期内曾短暂担任特朗普的通讯总监，后来成为一名激烈的批评者，他在《周六》上写道，这“对整个行业不利”。

"Don’t delude yourself. It’s Idi Amin level corruption,” he wrote, referring to the former Ugandan dictator.

“不要欺骗自己。这是伊迪·阿明级别的腐败，”他写道，指的是这位前乌干达独裁者。

Trump’s transition team did not immediately respond to a request for comment Saturday.

特朗普的过渡团队周六没有立即回应置评请求。
