特朗普家族将为其模因硬币特朗普提供私人晚餐

这项邀请驱动了特朗普的短期激增，是该家庭从加密货币产业中获利的最新尝试。

The Trump family will host private dinners at his golf club for top investors in his meme coin TRUMP, an invitation that drove a short-term surge in the token and is the latest attempt by the family to profit from the crypto industry.

特朗普家族将在他的高尔夫俱乐部举办私人晚餐，以在他的Meme Coin Trump中为顶级投资者举办，这一邀请驱动了代币短期激增，这是该家族从加密货币产业中获利的最新尝试。

Each seat will be reserved for the top 220 investors in terms of holdings of TRUMP Coin, the cryptocurrency launched by the Trump family on the eve of his inauguration.

就特朗普硬币的持有而言，每个席位将保留给前220名投资者，特朗普硬币的持有，特朗普家族在就职典礼前夕发起的加密货币。

On Wednesday, the website promoting the so-called “presidential meme coin” announced that buyers with the largest holdings would receive a meeting with the president, essentially offering White House access as a bargaining chip in exchange for investment in Trump’s crypto project.

周三，该网站推广所谓的“总统模因硬币”宣布，拥有最大持股的买家将与总统举行会议，从本质上讲，白宫可以作为讨价还价的筹码，以换取在特朗普的加密项目中进行投资。

“Dinner with President Trump and the TRUMP community!” the invitation reads. “Let the President know how many TRUMP coins you hold!”

“与特朗普总统和特朗普社区的晚餐！”邀请阅读。 “让总统知道您持有多少个特朗普硬币！”

For months, Trump’s foray into cryptocurrencies has sparked unprecedented ethical controversy in U.S. presidential history. While promoting digital currencies to the public, Trump has appointed regulators who have cut crypto enforcement and called for legislation to boost the industry in the United States.

几个月来，特朗普涉足加密货币一直引起了美国总统历史上空前的道德争议。特朗普在向公众推广数字货币的同时，任命了削减加密执法的监管机构，并呼吁立法来促进美国的行业。

As news of the dinner spread across social media, the price of the meme coin soared by more than 60%, and investors are frantically taking advantage of this news to profit.

随着晚餐遍布社交媒体的消息，模因硬币的价格飙升了60％以上，投资者疯狂地利用这一消息来获利。

“This is unbelievable,” said Corey Freire, who is in charge of SEC crypto policy during the Biden administration. “They put the ‘power for money’ directly on the table.”

“这是令人难以置信的，”在拜登政府期间负责SEC加密政策的科里·弗里雷（Corey Freire）说。 “他们直接将'货物'放在桌子上。”

Business entities associated with Trump hold a large number of the tokens, which means that Trump himself can directly profit from every price increase (at least on paper). Trump and his business partners can also extract transaction fees from token transactions, with revenues of nearly $100 million in the early days of the launch in January alone.

与特朗普相关的商业实体持有大量令牌，这意味着特朗普本人可以直接从每个价格上涨（至少在纸上）中获利。特朗普和他的业务伙伴还可以从代币交易中提取交易费用，仅一月份启动的早期，收入就有近1亿美元。

Creighton University law professor Victoria Honeyman noted that such operations raise concerns that Trump and his business empire “may be exploiting the power of the presidency for personal gain.”

克雷顿大学法学教授维多利亚·霍尼曼（Victoria Honeyman）指出，这种行动引起了特朗普及其商业帝国的担忧，“可能正在利用总统职位谋取个人利益”。

The Trump family’s crypto businesses may benefit from industry-backed crypto legislation moving forward in Congress, but they also complicate the political landscape around the issue. Trump’s relationship with cryptocurrencies has angered pro-industry Democrats, whose support is needed for legislation to pass the Senate. House Financial Services Committee Chairman Frank Hill (R-Arkansas), who has pushed for new rules favorable to cryptocurrencies for years, said last month that his family’s crypto businesses “complicate” his job in Congress.

特朗普家族的加密货币业务可能会受益于国会行业支持的加密立法，但它们也使围绕该问题的政治格局复杂化。特朗普与加密货币的关系激怒了亲企业民主党，他们的立法需要支持参议院。众议院金融服务委员会主席弗兰克·希尔（R-ARKANSAS）努力制定有利于加密货币的新规则多年，他上个月表示，他的家人的加密货币业务“使”他在国会中的工作“复杂化”。

Earlier this year, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission issued official guidance stating that meme coins based on online jokes or celebrity images will not be regulated by the agency. Crypto skeptics criticized this policy for potentially encouraging fraudulent behavior by meme coin promoters.

今年早些时候，美国证券交易委员会发布了官方指导，指出基于在线笑话或名人图像的模因硬币将不受机构的监管。加密怀疑论者批评了这一政策可能鼓励模因硬币发起人的欺诈行为。

As president, Trump enjoys broad immunity from conflict of interest regulations, a loophole he has cited in the past. A White House representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Eric Trump, who helps run the Trump Organization, the sponsor of TRUMP coin, declined to comment.

作为总统，特朗普对利益冲突法规享有广泛的免疫力，这是他过去引用的漏洞。白宫代表没有立即回应置评请求。埃里克·特朗普（Eric Trump）帮助经营特朗普硬币的赞助商特朗普组织（Trump Tranger）拒绝置评。

Trump, once skeptical of crypto, changed his stance during last year’s campaign, when crypto companies were spending tens of millions of dollars to influence the 2024 election.

特朗普曾经对加密货币持怀疑态度，在去年的竞选活动中改变了立场，当时加密公司花了数千万美元来影响2024年的选举。

Last fall, Trump and his sons Donald Jr., Eric and Barron announced the establishment of World Liberty Financial to issue a digital currency called WLFI. According to the company, 550 million of the tokens have been sold so far.

去年秋天，特朗普和他的儿子小唐纳德（Donald Jr.据该公司称，到目前为止，有5.5亿个代币已售出。

Shortly thereafter, Trump’s social media company Trump Media & Technology Group began offering crypto financial products to retail investors and announced a partnership with trading platform Crypto.com.

此后不久，特朗普的社交媒体公司特朗普媒体与技术集团开始提供加密货币金融产品来散户投资者，并宣布与交易平台Crypto.com建立合作伙伴关系。

But the most popular project is Trump’s meme coin project.

但是最受欢迎的项目是特朗普的模因硬币项目。

Three days before the inauguration, Trump announced the sale of the token on his social platform Truth Social. TRUMP sales surged instantly, making the president-elect a crypto billionaire on paper.

就职典礼前三天，特朗普宣布在他的社交平台真相社交上出售令牌。特朗普的销售立即激增，当选总统在纸上成为加密货币亿万富翁。

Meme coins usually rise and fall sharply, and the price of TRUMP collapsed quickly. The cumulative losses of holders exceeded US$2 billion.

模因硬币通常会急剧上升和下降，特朗普的价格迅速崩溃。持有人的累积损失超过20亿美元。

The dinner announcement was clearly intended to reignite market enthusiasm.

晚餐公告显然是为了重新激发市场的热情。

When Trump was launched in January, a large number of tokens were distributed to project supporters. However, the issuance rules restricted these insiders from selling until last week, raising concerns in the market that their selling would cause the price of the coin to fall further.

特朗普于1月推出时，将大量令牌分发给了项目支持者。但是，发行规则限制了这些内部人士的销售，直到上周，人们担心他们的销售将导致硬币的价格进一步下跌。

However, in the days before the invitation was released, the price of the currency had gradually recovered, and it soared rapidly after the announcement was released.

但是，在邀请发行之前的几天，货币的价格逐渐收回，并且在宣布这一消息后迅速飙升。

The TRUMP official website has set up a ranking of major coin holders, which is essentially an online game that allows buyers to track rankings in real time. The website states that from April 23 to May 12, “the top 220 TRUMP average holdings” will be invited to the dinner. The top 25 buyers can also attend the presidential reception before the dinner and the VIP tour of the White House (the 25th on the list currently holds about 4,000 tokens, worth about $54,000).

特朗普官方网站已经建立了主要硬币持有人的排名，这实质上是一款在线游戏，可让买家实时跟踪排名。该网站指出，从4月23日至5月12日，将邀请“特朗普220名特朗普的平均持股量”参加晚宴。排名前25位的买家还可以在晚餐前参加总统招待会和白宫的VIP之旅（目前排名第25位的餐厅持有约4,000个令牌，价值约54,000美元）。
