特朗普通过新模因币 $TRUMP 和 $MELANIA 爆炸了他的净资产

当加密行业庆祝华盛顿特区新一届政府的到来之际，没有人比领导者唐纳德·J·特朗普总统更快地利用即将到来的变化。

Fresh off his electoral victory, former President Donald Trump wasted no time in cashing in on the crypto craze that was sweeping the nation.

前总统唐纳德·特朗普刚刚赢得选举，就立即利用席卷全国的加密货币热潮获利。

On the evening of January 20, 2021, as crypto A-listers mingled with political elites and members of Trump's inner circle at the Crypto Ball, held at the opulent Mellon Auditorium, just down the street from the White House, Trump was quietly preparing to launch a meme coin of his own.

2021 年 1 月 20 日晚，当加密货币一线明星与政治精英和特朗普核心圈子成员在加密货币舞会上混在一起时，特朗普正在悄悄准备推出自己的模因币。

The coin, named $TRUMP, was launched later that night on the Solana platform. Its market cap quickly soared over the weekend, reaching $14 billion at one point.

该代币名为 $TRUMP，于当晚晚些时候在 Solana 平台上推出。其市值在周末迅速飙升，一度达到 140 亿美元。

As with other meme coins, there was no underlying product for $TRUMP. In a social media post announcing the coin, Trump wrote, "It's time to celebrate everything we stand for: WINNING!"

与其他模因币一样，$TRUMP 没有基础产品。特朗普在社交媒体上发布了这款硬币的消息，他写道：“是时候庆祝我们所代表的一切了：胜利！”

According to the website for $TRUMP, 80% of the coins were being held by the Trump Organization and affiliates. Among the crypto exchange leaders present at the Crypto Ball were Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong and Kraken co-founder Jesse Powell, whose platforms allowed ordinary investors to buy into Trump's latest project.

据 $TRUMP 网站称，80% 的代币由特朗普组织及其附属机构持有。出席加密舞会的加密货币交易所领导人包括 Coinbase 首席执行官布莱恩·阿姆斯特朗 (Brian Armstrong) 和 Kraken 联合创始人杰西·鲍威尔 (Jesse Powell)，他们的平台允许普通投资者购买特朗普的最新项目。

After launching $TRUMP, Trump followed up on Sunday with the introduction of another meme coin, $MELANIA, named after the first lady.

在推出 $TRUMP 后，特朗普于周日推出了另一种模因币 $MELANIA，以第一夫人的名字命名。

The coin quickly spiked more than 40%, surpassing $2 billion in value. Both the Trump and Melania coins have since dropped significantly from their highs.

该代币迅速飙升超过 40%，价值超过 20 亿美元。此后，特朗普币和梅拉尼娅币都从高点大幅下跌。

In addition to the meme coins, the Trump family also endorsed a decentralized finance project called World Liberty Financial, which hiked its token price from 1.5 cents to 5 cents and released an additional 5 billion tokens for sale.

除了meme币之外，特朗普家族还支持了一个名为World Liberty Financial的去中心化金融项目，该项目将其代币价格从1.5美分提高到5美分，并额外发行了50亿枚代币进行销售。

The project, which was initially launched in September, has raised more than $300 million in total sales so far, according to blockchain firm Arkham Intelligence.

据区块链公司 Arkham Intelligence 称，该项目最初于 9 月份启动，迄今为止已筹集了超过 3 亿美元的总销售额。

The Trump family is set to receive 75% of World Liberty's crypto coin revenue, as per the project's founding document.

根据该项目的创始文件，特朗普家族将获得 World Liberty 加密货币收入的 75%。

On-chain data showed millions of dollars worth of token transfers to Coinbase’s institutional custody provider.

链上数据显示，价值数百万美元的代币转移至 Coinbase 的机构托管提供商。

"We’re making routine movements of our crypto holdings as part of regular treasury management, payment of fees and expenses, and to address working capital requirements,” World Liberty said in a statement.

World Liberty 在一份声明中表示：“我们正在对我们的加密资产进行例行调整，作为定期财务管理、支付费用和开支以及满足营运资金需求的一部分。”

CNBC reached out to Donald and Melania Trump earlier Monday and didn't receive a response.

CNBC 周一早些时候联系了唐纳德·特朗普和梅拉尼娅·特朗普，但没有收到回复。
