特朗普币引发重大税收和法律问题

随着他的模因币特朗普的最新推出，他成为第一位将政治影响力带入模因币市场的总统。然而，此举引发了一些法律和税务挑战。

Former US President Donald Trump has recently made waves in the crypto industry with the launch of his meme coin, aptly named TRUMP.

美国前总统唐纳德·特朗普最近推出了他的模因币（特朗普），在加密行业掀起波澜。

This marks the first time a president has brought political influence to the meme coin market. While the move is certainly attention-grabbing, it also raises several legal and tax questions.

这标志着总统第一次给模因币市场带来政治影响力。虽然此举确实引人注目，但它也引发了一些法律和税务问题。

According to FinTax, a web3 financial management firm, one of the primary concerns is whether TRUMP can be legally classified as a security.

根据 web3 金融管理公司 FinTax 的说法，主要关注点之一是 TRUMP 是否可以合法地归类为证券。

“First, there’s the question of whether this meme coin is a security. This is super important for its legality,” FinTax said.

“首先，存在的问题是这种模因币是否是一种证券。这对于其合法性来说非常重要，”FinTax 表示。

Cryptocurrencies sold through Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) are typically considered securities. However, Trump’s team has maintained that the coin is not a security.

通过首次代币发行（ICO）出售的加密货币通常被视为证券。然而，特朗普团队坚称该代币不是证券。

The TRUMP website states that it does not promise any future profits.

特朗普网站声明，不承诺任何未来利润。

Despite this declaration, the possibility of an SEC investigation remains, especially given the lack of clear regulatory stance on meme coins.

尽管有这一声明，美国证券交易委员会调查的可能性仍然存在，特别是考虑到对模因币缺乏明确的监管立场。

Another concern is the potential for TRUMP to be used to circumvent legal restrictions on political donations.

另一个担忧是特朗普可能被用来规避政治捐款的法律限制。

The Federal Election Commission (FEC) has strict rules governing political donations, and launching a meme coin could open up new avenues for fundraising that fall outside of traditional regulations.

联邦选举委员会（FEC）对政治捐赠有严格的规定，推出模因币可能会开辟传统法规之外的筹款新途径。

If TRUMP is found to be facilitating political donations, it could raise red flags and lead to legal challenges. While there is no evidence yet to suggest that the coin is being used for this purpose, the potential for controversy remains high.

如果特朗普被发现为政治捐款提供便利，可能会引发危险信号并导致法律挑战。尽管尚无证据表明该硬币被用于此目的，但引起争议的可能性仍然很高。

Beyond the legal questions, FinTax also highlights a tax issue surrounding the launch of TRUMP.

除了法律问题之外，FinTax 还强调了围绕特朗普推出的税务问题。

As per the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), cryptocurrency profits are subject to taxation, and understanding how taxes apply to TRUMP could be a complex matter.

根据美国国税局 (IRS) 的规定，加密货币利润需要纳税，而了解特朗普如何纳税可能是一件复杂的事情。

It is reported that Trump’s team currently holds 80% of the total TRUMP supply, which they will unlock in stages over the next three years.

据悉，特朗普团队目前持有特朗普总供应量的80%，他们将在未来三年内分阶段解锁。

The question arises whether unlocking these coins will be considered a taxable event by the authorities. Generally, capital gains tax is only triggered when an asset is sold or traded.

问题是，解锁这些代币是否会被当局视为应税事件。一般来说，资本利得税仅在资产出售或交易时才会触发。

However, depending on how the authorities choose to view the matter, unlocking the crypto could be subject to taxation.

然而，根据当局选择如何看待此事，解锁加密货币可能需要纳税。

Meanwhile, crypto experts are speculating on possible tax cuts in the wake of TRUMP's launch.

与此同时，加密货币专家正在猜测特朗普上任后可能会减税。

According to CoinGecko, Trump is now the third-largest meme coin with a market cap of $11.7 billion.

根据 CoinGecko 的数据，特朗普现在是第三大表情包硬币，市值为 117 亿美元。

Members of the crypto community are expressing hope that Donald Trump's newfound crypto wealth will inspire him to implement tax reforms.

加密社区成员表示希望唐纳德·特朗普新发现的加密财富将激励他实施税收改革。

“Trump is up around $20 billion on his token. That means an extra $5 billion in his pockets if he eliminates capital gains on crypto… The President of the United States now has a personal multi-billion dollar incentive to eliminate crypto capital gains tax,” crypto trader Gammichan noted.

“特朗普的代币价值增加了​​约 200 亿美元。这意味着，如果他取消加密货币的资本利得，他的口袋里会多出 50 亿美元……美国总统现在有数十亿美元的个人激励措施来取消加密货币资本利得税。”加密货币交易商 Gammichan 指出。

suggesting that Trump may have a strong personal interest in reducing or eliminating capital gains tax on cryptocurrency.

这表明特朗普可能对减少或取消加密货币资本利得税有强烈的个人兴趣。

Highlighting a similar possibility, crypto investor Mike Alfred stated, “Now that 80% of Trump’s wealth consists of crypto, you can expect an end to all federal income taxes on crypto sales within the year. This is how the game is played. Watch and learn (and buy some Bitcoin for the kids).”

加密货币投资者 Mike Alfred 强调了类似的可能性，他表示：“既然特朗普 80% 的财富由加密货币组成，你可以预计年内将终止对加密货币销售的所有联邦所得税。游戏就是这样玩的。观看并学习（并为孩子们购买一些比特币）。”
