自公告以來，硬幣的價格上漲了30％以上，約為12美元

在購買或交易硬幣時，推出Meme Coin的特朗普盟友也賺取了費用，包括通過借記卡友好的“立即購買”按鈕

A new crypto coin linked to former President Donald Trump has soared in price by more than 30% since he announced plans for a private gala dinner with the token’s top holders, boosting the value of the crypto wallets affiliated with Trump’s family business by about US$100 million, an analysis shows.

一項與前總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）相關的新加密硬幣自宣布與代幣的頂級持有人進行私人晚宴的計劃以來，價格飆升了30％以上，這提高了與特朗普家族企業相關的加密錢包的價值，約1億美元。

The Trump-allied team who launched the $TRUMP meme coin also earn fees when the tokens are bought or traded, including via a debit-card-friendly “buy now” button on the coin’s website. Together, they made around US$1.25m in fees over the past week, the analysis found.

在購買或交易代幣時，推出$ TRUMP MEME COIN的特朗普盟友也賺取了費用，包括通過借記卡友好的“立即購買”按鈕在硬幣網站上。分析發現，過去一周，他們一起收取了約125萬美元的費用。

Trump has repeatedly promoted his desire to turn the United States into the “crypto capital of the planet” and two of his sons, Eric and Donald Trump jnr, have described the $TRUMP coin as the “hottest digital meme on earth”.

特朗普一再促進他將美國變成“地球的加密首都”的願望，他的兩個兒子埃里克（Eric）和唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump Jnr）將$ trump Coin描述為“地球上最熱門的數字模因”。

But the meme coin team’s invitation to the top 220 coin-holders to a gala dinner at an undisclosed location comes as Trump’s new social network, Truth Social, is struggling to attract users and has bled cash in recent months.

但是，由於特朗普的新社交網絡真相社交網絡正在努力吸引用戶，並且最近幾個月來，Meme Coin團隊邀請在未公開的地點邀請前220個硬幣持有人參加晚宴。

The dinner promotion “creates the spectre of a pay-to-play deal” for wealthy spenders eager to bend the president’s ear, said Virginia Canter, the chief ethics counsel for watchdog group State Democracy Defenders Action and a former White House associate counsel under president Barack Obama.

弗吉尼亞·坎特（Virginia Canter）表示，晚餐促銷“為渴望彎曲總統耳朵的富裕支出者創造了付費交易的幽靈。

“He’s actually selling access, personal access, to him and to the White House if people invest in this meme coin, which really has no intrinsic value,” Canter said.

坎特說：“如果人們投資這款模因硬幣，他實際上將訪問，個人訪問權限出售給白宮，這確實沒有內在的價值。”

“If you are a foreign government burdened by tariffs, will you be enticed to invest? If you’re a criminal felon, will you maybe invest in hopes they’ll give you an opportunity to make your case for a pardon?”

“如果您是外國政府受到關稅的負擔，您會被誘使投資嗎？如果您是犯罪重罪，您可能會投資希望他們能給您提供赦免的機會嗎？”

Senanor Chris Murphy (Democrat, Connecticut) posted on X: “This isn’t Trump just being Trump. The Trump coin scam is the most brazenly corrupt thing a President has ever done. Not close.”

Senanor Chris Murphy（康涅狄格州民主黨）在X上張貼：“這不是特朗普成為特朗普。特朗普硬幣騙局是總統做過的最狂熱的腐敗的事情。不接近。”

The White House did not respond to requests for comment. Trump Organisation officials also did not respond.

白宮沒有回應置評請求。特朗普組織官員也沒有回應。

The meme coin project is run by a Trump Organisation affiliate and a Delaware-registered company called Fight Fight Fight that together own 80% of the coins. (That company, led by a Trump friend and entrepreneur named Bill Zanker, is named for Trump’s rallying cry after his attempted assassination last year in Pennsylvania.)

Meme硬幣項目由特朗普組織的分支機構和一家由特拉華州註冊的公司進行，稱為Fight Fight Fight，共同擁有80％的硬幣。 （該公司由特朗普朋友和名為Bill Zanker的企業家領導，以特朗普去年在賓夕法尼亞州的企圖暗殺後的呼聲命名）。

The coin is one of several Trump-brand crypto ventures launched within the past year, including a company called World Liberty Financial, which offers a separate crypto token named WLFI that calls itself “inspired by Donald Trump”.

該硬幣是過去一年中發起的幾項特朗普品牌加密貨幣公司之一，其中包括一家名為World Liberty Financial的公司，該公司提供了一個名為WLFI的單獨的加密代幣，該公司稱自己為“受唐納德·特朗普的啟發”。

Since launching days before the inauguration in January, the meme coin has earned for Trump and his business partners about US$41 million in fees and US$312 million in sales of the coin, according to the Post analysis.

根據郵政分析，自1月就職前的幾天開始，模因硬幣就為特朗普及其業務夥伴賺取了大約4,100萬美元的費用和3.12億美元的硬幣銷售。

The Trump meme coin team said only the coin’s top 220 holders would be invited to the gala dinner and created an online leaderboard to rank the anonymous accounts, who are known only by their crypto wallet’s addresses and usernames such as “elon”, MTGA and boop.

特朗普模因硬幣團隊表示，只有硬幣的前220名持有人將被邀請參加晚宴，並創建了一個在線排行榜，以對匿名帳戶進行排名，匿名帳戶僅以加密錢包的地址和用戶名（例如“ Elon”，MTGA和Boop）而聞名。

At least 15 wallets hold more than 100,000 of the $TRUMP meme coins, the leaderboard says.

排行榜說，至少有15個錢包容納了超過100,000美元的特朗普模因硬幣。

The Post used data from Flipside Crypto, Arkham Intelligence and the Meteora decentralised exchange to analyse meme coin transactions on the blockchain, a sort of public database that logs crypto activity. Though many wallets aren’t tied to a real person’s identity, their trades are linked to standardised address codes and other pieces of data that allow them to be followed around the web.

該帖子使用了Flipside Crypto，Arkham Intelligence和Meteora分散交易的數據來分析區塊鏈上的模因硬幣交易，這是一種記錄加密活動的公共數據庫。儘管許多錢包沒有與真實的人的身份相關，但他們的交易與標準化的地址代碼和其他數據有關，這些數據允許它們在網絡周圍遵循。

The Post review found several of the coin’s recent acquirers have received funds from Binance, a crypto exchange that doesn't allow US customers, suggesting they may not be Americans.

帖子評論發現，該硬幣最近的幾個收購方從Binance獲得了資金，Binance是一種不允許我們客戶的加密交易所，表明他們可能不是美國人。

The biggest wallet on the leaderboard, calling itself Sun, has more than 1.1 million of the coins, a stake now worth more than US$13 million on paper. The wallet is registered by HTX, a crypto exchange founded in China whose global advisory board includes the crypto billionaire Justin Sun.

排行榜上最大的錢包自稱是太陽，擁有110萬個硬幣，現在的股份價值超過1300萬美元。該錢包由HTX登記，HTX是在中國成立的加密交易所，其全球顧問委員會包括加密貨幣億萬富翁賈斯汀·孫。

Sun invested $30 million in Trump’s World Liberty Financial last year while under investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on charges of fraud. The SEC asked a federal judge to halt the case in February and the Justice Department this month directed prosecutors to no longer pursue or investigate certain kinds of crypto crimes. (Neither Sun nor HTX immediately responded to requests for comment.)

去年，桑在特朗普的世界自由財務上投資了3000萬美元，而證券交易委員會（SEC）則以欺詐指控進行了調查。美國證券交易委員會要求聯邦法官於2月份停止此案，司法部本月指示檢察官不再追求或調查某些類型的加密犯罪。 （Sun和HTX都沒有立即回應置評請求。）

The meme coin’s website, which includes heavily edited photos of Trump at a dinner table, says the gala dinner is “one of the most exclusive events in the world” and that invitees will have to pay all expenses, including for the meal, parking and tips.

Meme Coin的網站包括在餐桌餐桌上進行大量編輯的特朗普照片，他說，晚餐是“世界上最獨特的活動之一”，邀請人將不得不支付所有費用，包括餐，停車和提示。

The top 25 coin-holders will also be invited to tour the White House

排名前25位的硬幣持有人也將被邀請參觀白宮
