特朗普对加密货币的立场：从怀疑论者到支持者

据智通财经APP了解，曾经质疑加密货币价值的唐纳德·特朗普在总统竞选期间改变了立场，成为了加密货币的支持者。在对未来监管宽松环境的预期等多种因素的影响下，比特币在去年12月突破了10万美元大关，市场正在密切关注特朗普在加密货币发展中所扮演的角色以及他对未来的影响。

Former President Donald Trump, once a skeptic of cryptocurrencies, has shifted his stance and become an advocate for digital assets during his presidential campaign. With expectations of a future regulatory easing environment and various other factors, Bitcoin broke through the $100,000 mark last December, and the market is closely watching Trump's role in the development of cryptocurrencies and his impact on the future.

曾经对加密货币持怀疑态度的前总统唐纳德·特朗普在总统竞选期间改变了立场，成为数字资产的倡导者。在对未来监管宽松环境的预期等多种因素的影响下，比特币在去年12月突破了10万美元大关，市场正在密切关注特朗普在加密货币发展中所扮演的角色以及他对未来的影响。

Trump's embrace of the industry has helped him gain support from well-known cryptocurrency advocates, such as venture capitalists Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz, as well as billionaire twins Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss.

特朗普对该行业的拥抱帮助他获得了知名加密货币倡导者的支持，例如风险投资家马克·安德森和本·霍洛维茨，以及亿万富翁双胞胎泰勒和卡梅伦·文克莱沃斯。

Elon Musk, often associated with meme coin speculation, discussed cryptocurrencies on Saturday Night Live and donated $238.5 million to the pro-Trump super political action committee America PAC. Andreessen and Horowitz each donated $2.5 million to pro-Trump right-wing super political action committees. The cryptocurrency industry also spent $135 million, primarily through Fairshake PAC, to support candidates in the November elections, most of whom won their races.

埃隆·马斯克经常与模因硬币投机联系在一起，他在《周六夜现场》中讨论了加密货币，并向支持特朗普的超级政治行动委员会美国 PAC 捐赠了 2.385 亿美元。安德森和霍洛维茨各向支持特朗普的右翼超级政治行动委员会捐赠了250万美元。加密货币行业还花费了 1.35 亿美元（主要通过 Fairshake PAC）来支持 11 月选举中的候选人，其中大多数候选人赢得了竞选。

What cryptocurrency projects has Trump personally participated in?

特朗普亲自参与了哪些加密货币项目？

Trump and some of his family members are initiators and beneficiaries of a cryptocurrency project called "World Freedom Finance," which has its own token WLFI. As of the end of October, over 16,000 people hold the World Freedom Finance token. Just weeks ago, this project, supported by Trump and his sons, began selling cryptocurrencies to accredited investors on its platform.

特朗普和他的一些家庭成员是一个名为“世界自由金融”的加密货币项目的发起者和受益者，该项目拥有自己的代币WLFI。截至 10 月底，已有超过 16,000 人持有 World Freedom Finance 代币。就在几周前，这个项目在特朗普及其儿子的支持下，开始在其平台上向认可的投资者出售加密货币。

In November, cryptocurrency entrepreneur Justin Sun announced that he would invest $30 million in WLFI tokens, with the Trump family expected to receive at least $15 million. Trump has also ventured into other digital assets. He has released four series of non-fungible tokens (NFTs), all featuring heroic images of him in different outfits and scenarios. He referred to the latest NFT series as digital trading cards, which were sold in the primary market for $99 each in August

11 月，加密货币企业家孙宇晨宣布将投资 3000 万美元购买 WLFI 代币，特朗普家族预计将获得至少 1500 万美元。特朗普还涉足其他数字资产。他发布了四个系列的不可替代代币（NFT），均以他在不同服装和场景中的英雄形象为特色。他将最新的 NFT 系列称为数字交易卡，8 月份在一级市场上以每张 99 美元的价格出售

Why Did Cryptocurrency Prices Surge?

加密货币价格为何飙升？

Last year, from the election until mid-December, the price of the largest market capitalization token, Bitcoin, rose by more than 50%, and other cryptocurrencies also saw significant increases. This was mainly because people believed that Trump and the incoming Republican government would create a more favorable regulatory environment. Investors in the crypto industry indicated that this would lead to more individuals and institutions investing in the sector, while also reducing the risk of enforcement actions by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

去年，从大选到12月中旬，市值最大的代币比特币的价格上涨了50%以上，其他加密货币也出现了大幅上涨。这主要是因为人们相信特朗普和即将上任的共和党政府将创造更有利的监管环境。加密行业的投资者表示，这将导致更多的个人和机构投资该行业，同时也降低了美国证券交易委员会（SEC）采取执法行动的风险。

Trump also appointed crypto advocates to key roles. For example, Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy will lead a consulting group called the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). DOGE is named after Dogecoin, which Musk is often associated with.

特朗普还任命加密货币倡导者担任关键职务。例如，埃隆·马斯克和维韦克·拉马斯瓦米将领导一个名为政府效率部（DOGE）的咨询小组。 DOGE 是以狗狗币命名的，马斯克经常与狗狗币联系在一起。

The demand for Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) also helped boost cryptocurrency prices. As of January 8, U.S. Bitcoin ETFs had attracted $110 billion in investment, just a year after their debut.

对比特币交易所交易基金（ETF）的需求也帮助推高了加密货币价格。截至 1 月 8 日，美国比特币 ETF 推出仅一年就吸引了 1100 亿美元的投资。

What Has Trump Supported in the Crypto Space?

特朗普在加密货币领域支持什么？

Trump promised to fire SEC Chairman Gary Gensler on his first day in office. However, Gensler announced his resignation before Trump's inauguration.

特朗普承诺在上任第一天解雇美国证券交易委员会主席加里·詹斯勒(Gary Gensler)。不过，詹斯勒在特朗普就职前宣布辞职。

During Gensler's tenure, the SEC filed legal actions against cryptocurrency companies like Coinbase Global (COIN.US) and Binance Holdings Ltd., accusing them of selling what the regulatory agency посчитал unregistered securities.

在 Gensler 任职期间，美国证券交易委员会对 Coinbase Global (COIN.US) 和 Binance Holdings Ltd. 等加密货币公司提起了法律诉讼，指控它们出售监管机构规定的未注册证券。

Trump nominated crypto supporter Paul Atkins to replace Gensler, an announcement that helped Bitcoin break the $100,000 mark for the first time. He also nominated David Sacks for the newly established position of AI and Crypto Czar.

特朗普提名加密货币支持者保罗·阿特金斯 (Paul Atkins) 接替 Gensler，这一宣布帮助比特币首次突破 10 万美元大关。他还提名大卫·萨克斯担任新设立的人工智能和加密货币沙皇职位。

Trump created a crypto advisory group composed of industry supporters. In a Truth Social post in December, Trump stated that Bo Hines would serve as the executive director of the Presidential Advisory Committee on Digital Assets, reporting to Sacks.

特朗普创建了一个由行业支持者组成的加密货币咨询小组。特朗普在去年 12 月的 Truth Social 帖子中表示，博·海因斯将担任总统数字资产咨询委员会执行董事，向萨克斯汇报。

Trump indicated that he plans to have the U.S. government retain rather than sell Bitcoin assets seized by law enforcement, which would form the basis of a strategic Bitcoin reserve. He also expressed a desire for all Bitcoin to be mined in the U.S., although this commitment may be difficult to achieve due to the decentralized nature of the network and cheaper energy costs in other parts of the world.

特朗普表示，他计划让美国政府保留而不是出售执法部门扣押的比特币资产，这将构成比特币战略储备的基础。他还表示希望所有比特币都在美国开采，尽管由于网络的去中心化性质以及世界其他地区更便宜的能源成本，这一承诺可能难以实现。

What is the Regulatory Environment Like?

监管环境如何？

The SEC under Gensler has made it clear that it considers most digital assets to be securities, a definition that brings a wide range of requirements. The U.S. top banking regulators issued a comprehensive statement on the dangers of cryptocurrencies at the beginning of 2023. The collapse of the cryptocurrency exchange FTX in November 2022 left global customers facing potential losses of billions of dollars.

Gensler 领导下的 SEC 明确表示，它认为大多数数字资产都是证券，这一定义带来了广泛的要求。美国最高银行监管机构于2023年初就加密货币的危险发表了全面声明。2022年11月加密货币交易所FTX的倒闭让全球客户面临数十亿美元的潜在损失。

Legislation proposed in 2022 to strengthen U.S. regulation of cryptocurrencies has stalled in the Senate Banking Committee, facing an uncertain future. The bill would grant the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) additional authority to regulate digital currencies viewed as commodities, which could allow regulators to directly oversee

2022 年提出的加强美国加密货币监管的立法已在参议院银行委员会陷入僵局，未来前景不明。该法案将授予商品期货交易委员会（CFTC）额外的权力来监管被视为商品的数字货币，这可以让监管机构直接监督
