特朗普的 Meme 代币的推出引发了加密货币行业的分歧

当选总统于 1 月 17 日推出了“特朗普”代币，而他的妻子梅拉尼娅则于 1 月 19 日推出了她的伪币“梅拉尼娅”。

The newly elected President of the United States has made a surprising entry into the world of cryptocurrencies by launching his own meme coin, named after himself. The coin, called "Trump," was introduced on January 17 with much fanfare. Interestingly, his wife, Melania, also joined the crypto bandwagon, launching her own meme coin, named "Melania," on January 19.

新当选的美国总统推出了以他自己命名的模因币，令人惊讶地进入了加密货币世界。这种名为“特朗普”的硬币于 1 月 17 日大张旗鼓地推出。有趣的是，他的妻子梅拉尼娅也加入了加密货币浪潮，于 1 月 19 日推出了自己的模因币，名为“梅拉尼娅”。

The market value of Trump's meme coin soared to an impressive height, reaching $15 billion at one point. However, as Melania's token also gained attention, the value of Trump's coin dropped to below $8 billion.

特朗普表情包币的市值飙升至令人印象深刻的高度，一度达到 150 亿美元。然而，随着梅拉尼娅的代币也受到关注，特朗普代币的价值跌至80亿美元以下。

Both the Trump and Melania coins come with disclaimers on their respective websites, stating that these tokens "are not intended to be or are not" investment opportunities or securities.

特朗普和梅拉尼娅的硬币在各自的网站上都附有免责声明，声明这些代币“无意或不是”投资机会或证券。

The meme coin sector, which includes tokens like Dogecoin that have low intrinsic value and high volatility, has been a subject of contention. It has drawn criticism that the mainstream crypto industry is becoming too frivolous and risky for the average investor.

模因币领域，包括狗狗币等内在价值低、波动性高的代币，一直是争论的焦点。它引起了批评，认为主流加密货币行业对于普通投资者来说变得过于轻率和冒险。

Meme coins heavily rely on support from social media, which can be as fleeting as the coins themselves.

Meme 币严重依赖社交媒体的支持，而社交媒体可能像币本身一样转瞬即逝。

"The weekend launches are now clearly a blight that we will have to work to put behind us as builders," said Rob Hadick, general partner at crypto-focused venture-capital firm Dragonfly Capital.

专注于加密货币的风险投资公司 Dragonfly Capital 的普通合伙人罗布·哈迪克 (Rob Hadick) 表示：“周末的发布显然是一个灾难，我们作为建设者必须努力将其抛在脑后。”

Earlier, Trump had expressed skepticism towards cryptocurrencies, calling them a "scam." However, during his 2024 campaign, he became the first presidential candidate to accept digital assets as donations.

此前，特朗普曾对加密货币表示怀疑，称其为“骗局”。然而，在 2024 年竞选期间，他成为第一位接受数字资产捐赠的总统候选人。

During his campaign, Trump also stated that he would create a strategic reserve of Bitcoin and appoint financial regulators who would adopt a more positive stance on digital assets.

特朗普在竞选期间还表示，他将建立比特币战略储备，并任命金融监管机构对数字资产采取更积极的立场。

Such statements led to expectations that the future US President would ease regulations on the crypto industry.

这些言论引发了人们对未来美国总统将放松对加密货币行业的监管的预期。

After Trump's victory, Bitcoin soared to another all-time high and is currently valued at around $107,000.

特朗普获胜后，比特币飙升至历史新高，目前估值约为 107,000 美元。
