特朗普的模因硬币赌博

在加密货币世界中酿造了一个新的争议，其中心就是美国总统唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）。

Donald Trump’s meme coin, Official Trump (TRUMP), has sparked controversy with a rapid rise and fall in value, attracting attention from Public Citizen.

唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）的模因硬币，特朗普官方（特朗普），引发了争议，价值迅速增长和下降，引起了公民的关注。

The group has filed a formal complaint with the Department of Justice and the Office of Government Ethics, alleging that Trump may have violated federal laws by promoting his own meme coin.

该组织已向司法部和政府道德办公室提出正式申诉，称特朗普可能通过推广自己的模因硬币违反了联邦法律。

Public Citizen argues that because the coin is marketed as a “meme” with no promised value or return, buyers are essentially just giving Trump money, and he is getting “rich.”

公民认为，由于硬币是作为“模因”销售的，没有承诺价值或回报，因此买家本质上只是在给特朗普，他变得“富有”。

If that’s the case, this isn’t an investment—it’s a gift, and under the law, that’s a problem.

如果是这样，这不是一项投资，而是一件礼物，根据法律，这是一个问题。

According to Public Citizen, on Jan. 20 and 21—after being sworn in as President—Trump took to social media, both X and Truth Social, to repost messages promoting his meme token.

根据公民公民的说法，1月20日至21日，特朗普（Trump）宣誓就职后，将X和Truth Social的社交媒体转移到宣传他的模因令牌的信息。

The group highlights Trump’s official meme coin and its legal implications in a statement:

该组织在一份声明中强调了特朗普的官方模因硬币及其法律意义：

On Jan. 17, just days before his inauguration as the 47th President of the United States, Trump’s official meme coin, Official Trump (TRUMP), launched to the public.

1月17日，就在他担任美国第47任总统的就职典礼前几天，特朗普的官方模因硬币，特朗普官方（特朗普）向公众开放。

Adding to the frenzy, his wife, Melania Trump, also introduced her own meme coin—Official Melania Meme (MELANIA) — which quickly attracted billions in liquidity.

他的妻子梅拉尼亚·特朗普（Melania Trump）加上疯狂的狂热（Melania Trump），还介绍了自己的模因硬币 - 梅拉尼亚（Melania Meme）（梅拉尼亚（Melania）） - 迅速吸引了数十亿美元的流动性。

Within 48 hours, the TRUMP token skyrocketed in value, reaching a staggering $15 billion market cap before crashing to around $3.7 billion as of Feb. 6, marking a significant decline.

在48小时内，特朗普的代币价值飙升，达到了惊人的150亿美元市值，截至2月6日，跌至37亿美元左右，标志着大幅下降。

On Feb. 5, Public Citizen filed a formal complaint with the Department of Justice and the Office of Government Ethics, alleging that by promoting his own meme coin, Trump may have violated federal laws.

2月5日，公共公民向司法部和政府道德办公室提出了正式申诉，指控特朗普可能违反了联邦法律，提出了自己的模因硬币。

The complaint stems from Trump’s actions on Jan. 20 and 21, when he reposted messages on social media promoting his meme token after being sworn in as President.

投诉源于特朗普在1月20日至21日的行动，当时他在社交媒体上重新发布了消息，在宣誓就职后促进了他的模因令牌。

The Constitution’s Emoluments Clause prohibits U.S. presidents from accepting money or gifts from foreign governments. With crypto’s decentralized and often anonymous nature, there is no way to verify who is buying Trump’s token.

《宪法》的埃默尔条款禁止美国总统接受外国政府的金钱或礼物。有了加密货币的分散且通常是匿名的性质，无法验证谁在购买特朗普的代币。

This, Public Citizen warns, creates a national security risk. If foreign entities are quietly funnelling money to Trump under the guise of meme coin purchases, there is no system in place to detect it — let alone stop it.

公共公民警告说，这造成了国家安全风险。如果外国实体以购买模因硬币的幌子向特朗普静静地向特朗普汇款，则没有适当的系统来检测到它 - 更不用说停止了它了。

A billion-dollar token and a brewing political debacle

十亿美元的代币和酿造的政治崩溃

Records show that CIC Digital LLC, a company linked to The Trump Organization and controlled by a revocable trust, holds 80% of the total supply of 999.99 million TRUMP tokens.

记录显示，CIC Digital LLC是一家与特朗普组织相关并由可撤销信托控制的公司，占9.999亿特朗普令牌的总供应量的80％。

Since Donald Trump is the sole beneficiary of this trust, any financial gains from the token — whether intentional or not—ultimately flow directly to him.

由于唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）是该信托基金的唯一受益人，因此无论是否有意，任何财务收益都直接流向了他。

Crypto.news previously reported that on the day of Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20, Forbes estimated his net worth at $6.7 billion.

Crypto.News此前曾报道说，在1月20日特朗普就职时，福布斯估计他的净资产为67亿美元。

On that same day, the total value of his stake in the TRUMP token — 800 million unlocked tokens — was estimated at $42.6 billion based on then-current prices. At its peak price of $75, the valuation of Trump’s stake soared past $62 billion, nearly ten times his declared net worth.

同一天，根据当时的价格，他在特朗普代币中的股份总价值为8亿美元，为426亿美元。以75美元的高峰价格，特朗普的股份估值飙升了620亿美元，几乎是他宣布为净资产的十倍。

However, as of this writing, the price of the TRUMP token has declined, bringing the estimated value of his stake down to $15 billion.

但是，截至撰写本文时，特朗普代币的价格下降了，将他的股份的估计价值降至150亿美元。

While significantly lower than its peak, TRUMP token’s valuation remains more than double his net worth, making the financial entanglement between his political influence and personal assets an ongoing point of interest.

虽然明显低于其顶峰，但特朗普令牌的估值仍然是他的净资产的两倍以上，这使得他的政治影响力与个人资产之间的财务纠缠成为持续的利益。

And that’s not the only red flag. Reports indicate that 94% of the TRUMP and MELANIA tokens are held by just 40 wallets — a level of concentration that could easily be exploited for insider trading or pump-and-dump schemes.

这不是唯一的危险信号。报告表明，94％的特朗普和梅拉尼亚代币仅由40个钱包持有，这是一种很容易利用的集中度，可以用于内部交易或泵送和降低计划。

7/8 Whales dominate holdings – as of yesterday, around 40 whales holding $10M+ of $TRUMP/ $MELANIA tokens account for 94% of the holdings of $TRUMP or $MELANIA tokens. pic.twitter.com/1wKeEqBfMH

7/8鲸占主导地位 - 截至昨天，大约有40鲸持有1000万美元以上的$ trump/ $ melania代币帐户，占$ trump $ trump或$ melania tokens的94％。 pic.twitter.com/1wkeeqbfmh

Meanwhile, market volatility has already hit the coin hard. TRUMP token’s value has dropped 32% in the past week, a decline tied to broader crypto turbulence and Trump’s economic policy decisions, including proposed tariffs on China, Canada, and Mexico.

同时，市场波动已经猛烈袭击了硬币。在过去的一周中，特朗普令牌的价值下降了32％，与更广泛的加密动荡和特朗普的经济政策决策有关，包括拟议中国，加拿大和墨西哥的关税。

However, some of these tariffs have since been temporarily rolled back, leading to market recovery.

但是，此后的一些关税已暂时回滚，从而导致市场恢复。

Public Citizen’s filing follows growing scrutiny from Democratic lawmakers. On Jan. 22, Senator Elizabeth Warren called for an investigation into Trump’s expanding ties to meme coins.

公民申请遵循民主党议员的审查。 1月22日，参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦（Elizabeth Warren）呼吁调查特朗普与模因硬币不断扩大的联系。

Around the same time, Representative Gerald Connolly raised concerns over Trump’s financial dealings with World Liberty Financial (WLFI),

大约在同一时间，代表杰拉尔德·康诺利（Gerald Connolly）对特朗普与世界自由金融（WLFI）的财务交往引起了人们的关注，
