特朗普币：美国前总统推出自己的加密货币——其中 80% 由他的公司所有

大约 80% 的代币将由 CIC Digital 持有，该公司隶属于特朗普集团和 CIC 共同拥有的一家名为 Fight Fight Fight LLC 的企业

A new cryptocurrency, named after US President-elect Donald Trump, has been launched just hours before his inauguration.

一种以美国当选总统唐纳德·特朗普命名的新加密货币在他就职前几个小时推出。

The Trump coin, which began trading on Saturday, is available for purchase on FTX, a crypto exchange. About 80% of the tokens will be held by CIC Digital, which is affiliated with the Trump Organisation and a CIC co-owned business called Fight Fight Fight LLC, according to the token’s website – a reference to the attempt to assassinate Trump last summer.

特朗普币于周六开始交易，可在加密货币交易所 FTX 上购买。根据该代币网站的信息，大约 80% 的代币将由 CIC Digital 持有，该公司隶属于特朗普组织和 CIC 共同拥有的一家名为 Fight Fight Fight LLC 的企业——指的是去年夏天刺杀特朗普的企图。

The tokens held by insiders will start to be unlocked for sale over the next three to 12 months and available to be sold during Trump’s four-year term.

内部人士持有的代币将在未来 3 至 12 个月内开始解锁出售，并可在特朗普四年任期内出售。

“Trump owning 80% and timing [the] launch hours before inauguration is predatory and many will probably get hurt by it,” venture capitalist Nick Tomaino wrote on X.

风险投资家 Nick Tomaino 在 X 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。”

The launch took many in the crypto market by surprise, but Binance, Coinbase and Kraken, three of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges, have all since announced plans to trade the Trump coin on their markets.

此次发布令加密货币市场的许多人感到惊讶，但币安、Coinbase 和 Kraken 这三个最大的加密货币交易所此后都宣布了在其市场上交易特朗普币的计划。

The Trump family have taken a growing interest in cryptocurrency. The US President-elect and his three sons have been promoting World Liberty Financial, a crypto venture set up by his long-time business partners and others, while Trump’s social media company unsuccessfully tried to buy Bakkt, a cryptocurrency trading venue.

特朗普家族对加密货币越来越感兴趣。这位美国当选总统和他的三个儿子一直在推广由他的长期商业伙伴和其他人建立的加密货币企业 World Liberty Financial，而特朗普的社交媒体公司试图收购加密货币交易平台 Bakkt，但没有成功。

On Saturday, Eric Trump described the Trump coin as “the hottest digital meme on Earth” and said World Liberty was “just getting started”.

周六，埃里克·特朗普将特朗普硬币描述为“地球上最热门的数字模因”，并表示世界自由“才刚刚开始”。

Anthony Scaramucci, Trump’s former communications director turned critic, also hit out at the launch. “The Trump memecoin stuff is bad for the [crypto] industry. Don’t delude yourself,” he wrote on X.

特朗普前通讯总监、后来成为批评者的安东尼·斯卡拉穆奇(Anthony Scaramucci)也对此次发布会进行了猛烈抨击。 “特朗普模因币的东西对[加密]行业不利。不要欺骗自己，”他在 X 上写道。

A spokesperson for the Trump transition team did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

特朗普过渡团队的发言人没有立即回应置评请求。

Jonathan Bixby, a crypto entrepreneur, said Trump’s memecoin was likely to be “the opening gun in what is called ‘the banana zone’,” a crypto trading term in which prices can suddenly surge.

加密货币企业家乔纳森·比克斯比 (Jonathan Bixby) 表示，特朗普的 memecoin 很可能是“所谓‘香蕉区’的开枪”，在这个加密货币交易术语中，价格可能会突然飙升。

“It gives legitimacy to these assets and it invites every celebrity to come back in and start promoting. These next couple of months are going to be wild.”

“它赋予了这些资产合法性，并邀请每个名人回来并开始宣传。接下来的几个月将会非常疯狂。”

The price of Solana, the blockchain used by the Trump coin and many other memecoins, hit a record high of US$295 on Sunday. US regulator the Securities and Exchange Commission is due to make a ruling in the coming months on whether to permit US stock market funds to invest directly in Solana.

特朗普币和许多其他 memecoin 使用的区块链 Solana 的价格周日创下 295 美元的历史新高。美国监管机构证券交易委员会将在未来几个月内就是否允许美国股市基金直接投资 Solana 做出裁决。
