監視下的加密貨幣：民主黨要求問責制

唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）的加密貨幣項目正在引起美國民主黨議員的嚴重關注。

American Democratic lawmakers are raising serious concerns about the cryptocurrency projects of Donald Trump.

美國民主黨立法者對唐納德·特朗普的加密貨幣項目產生了嚴重的關注。

The TRUMP meme coin and World Liberty Financial are now at the center of a House investigation. Democrats are demanding Treasury reports on possible corruption, influence-peddling, and illegal fundraising tied to Trump’s growing crypto empire.

特朗普模因硬幣和世界自由金融現在是眾議院調查的中心。民主黨人要求國庫報告可能與特朗普日益增長的加密帝國有關的可能的腐敗，影響力和非法籌款。

Indeed, three Democratic lawmakers, including Representative Maxine Waters, sent the letter to the Department of the Treasury on May 10, 2025.

的確，包括代表馬克辛·沃特斯（Maxine Waters）在內的三名民主黨議員於2025年5月10日向財政部發了信。

The full content of the letter is available on the House of Representatives website.

這封信的全部內容可在眾議院網站上找到。

In the letter, Maxine Waters, along with Representatives Stephen Lynch and Robert Garcia, expressed their concern over the lack of transparency in the TRUMP meme coin project, World Liberty Financial's activities, and the WinRed platform.

在信中，麥克辛·沃特斯（Maxine Waters）以及代表斯蒂芬·林奇（Stephen Lynch）和羅伯特·加西亞（Robert Garcia）對特朗普模因硬幣項目，世界自由金融的活動和勝利平台缺乏透明度表示關注。

The lawmakers requested access to all Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) related to these entities, as well as to several pro-Trump crypto personalities.

立法者要求訪問與這些實體有關的所有可疑活動報告（SARS）以及幾種親特朗普加密性格。

They aim to determine whether legislation is necessary to prevent such abuses.

他們旨在確定是否需要立法來防止這種濫用。

The intertwining of the crypto world and the political sphere is not new. However, the Trump-crypto affair sheds light on the potential risks, especially during election periods. Memecoins like TRUMP Coin, often seen as insignificant, can thus become instruments of lobbying or irregular financing.

加密世界和政治領域的交織並不是什麼新鮮事。但是，特朗普 - 瑞典公司（Trump-Crypto）的戀情闡明了潛在的風險，尤其是在選舉期間。因此，像特朗普硬幣這樣的紀念物（通常被視為微不足道）可以成為遊說或不規則融資的工具。

This situation also raises concerns among European Union authorities. The MiCA regulation, set to take effect in 2025, already aims to regulate token issuances by political entities. Similar initiatives to those of American Democrats could prompt authorities to enhance their monitoring of cryptocurrencies used for influencing purposes.

這種情況也引起了歐盟當局的關注。將於2025年生效的雲母法規已經旨在調節政治實體的代幣發行。與美國民主黨人的類似舉措類似，可以促使當局加強對用於影響目的的加密貨幣的監控。

Additionally, suspicions have been raised about a Chinese company linked to TikTok that bought $300 million worth of $TRUMP Coin, raising questions about potential influence on American politics, especially regarding TikTok's status in the United States.

此外，人們對一家與Tiktok有聯繫的中國公司提出了懷疑，該公司購買了價值3億美元的特朗普硬幣，引發了有關對美國政治潛在影響的疑問，尤其是關於Tiktok在美國的地位。

According to a Chainalysis report (2024), cryptocurrency flows related to political campaigns have increased by 300% since 2020, posing challenges to regulators.

根據鏈條分析報告（2024），自2020年以來，與政治運動相關的加密貨幣流量增加了300％，對監管機構構成了挑戰。

“Politicized cryptos blur the lines between financial innovation and propaganda,” notes blockchain analyst Sarah Johnson.

區塊鏈分析師莎拉·約翰遜（Sarah Johnson）指出：“政治化加密貨幣模糊了金融創新與宣傳之間的界限。”

The investigation into Donald Trump’s crypto activities marks a pivotal step in the quest for transparency and integrity in the Web3 ecosystem. Beyond purely political issues, this episode highlights the crucial importance for the industry to self-regulate and comply with regulatory requirements.

對唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）的加密活動的調查標誌著Web3生態系統中尋求透明度和完整性的關鍵步驟。除了純粹的政治問題外，這一集還強調了該行業自我調節和遵守監管要求至關重要的重要性。

The Trump investigation represents a turning point in the transparency quest of Web3. It underscores the urgency for the industry to self-regulate to maintain the trust of investors and authorities. “An ethical blockchain is the only way for sustainable adoption,” affirms Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum. Industry players must adopt transparent and compliant practices to prevent innovation from being tarnished by political or financial misconduct.

特朗普的調查代表了Web3透明度追求的一個轉折點。它強調了該行業自我調節以維持投資者和當局的信任的緊迫性。以太坊聯合創始人Vitalik Buterin確認，“道德區塊鍊是可持續採用的唯一途徑。”行業參與者必須採取透明和合規的做法，以防止創新受到政治或金融不當行為的損害。
