據報導，一群加密貨幣交易員在正式推出前幾分鐘就購買了梅拉尼亞·特朗普（Melania Trump）的紀念品，從而獲得了約1億美元的利潤。

根據《金融時報》的一份報告，交易者花了260萬美元在第一夫人於1月19日公開宣布該項目之前不久收購了1670萬美元的梅拉尼亞代幣。

A group of crypto traders reportedly managed to make around $100 million in profit by buying up Melania Trump’s memecoin just minutes ahead of its official launch last month.

據報導，一群加密貨幣交易員在上個月正式發布前幾分鐘就購買了梅拉尼亞·特朗普（Melania Trump）的紀念品，從而賺了約1億美元的利潤。

As reported by the Financial Times, the traders collectively spent $2.6 million to acquire 16.7 million $MELANIA tokens shortly before the former First Lady announced the project on January 19. The price of the token climbed from roughly $2.00 to $12.95 following the announcement, an increment of 550%, and the traders sold most of their holdings within 12 hours.

據《金融時報》報導，交易者共同花了260萬美元，在1月19日前第一夫人宣布該項目之前不久收購了1670萬美元的梅拉尼亞代幣。宣布這一消息後，代幣的價格從大約2.00美元上漲至12.95美元，在550％的增長之後，交易者的價格為550％，而交易者則在12小時內出售了12小時內的持有量。

The FT identified 24 wallets that accumulated the bulk of the pre-launch tokens, with another 22 wallets buying around $900,000 worth of tokens in the 42 seconds following the announcement. The suspicious timing raised concerns of insider trading or advance knowledge of the launch.

英尺省確定了24個錢包，這些錢包累積了大部分發布前代幣，另外22個錢包在宣布後的42秒內購買了價值約90萬美元的令牌。可疑的時機引起了內幕交易或提前對發布知識的關注。

The memecoin’s debut came just two days after Donald Trump unveiled his own TRUMP token, which has also come under scrutiny from U.S. lawmakers. Some politicians expressed concerns over potential corruption, conflicts of interest, and even foreign influence.

唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）宣布自己的特朗普代幣（Trump Soken）僅兩天后，這位成員的首次亮相是在美國立法者的審查之後的兩天。一些政客對潛在的腐敗，利益衝突甚至外國影響表示擔憂。

The criticism intensified after it was revealed that top TRUMP token holders would be invited to a private dinner and tour with the former president, prompting at least one senator to call for impeachment proceedings.

批評加劇了據透露，特朗普最高的持有人將被邀請參加私人晚餐並與前總統一起巡迴演出，促使至少一名參議員呼籲彈impeach訴訟。

Despite their explosive launches, both tokens have since seen steep declines. At the time of writing, MELANIA is trading at around $0.31, and TRUMP has dropped to $10.90. The TRUMP token did see a brief price increase after the dinner announcement in April but quickly fell again.

儘管發射了爆炸性，但兩個令牌自此都急劇下降。在撰寫本文時，梅拉尼亞（Melania）的交易價格約為0.31美元，特朗普（Trump）下跌至10.90美元。四月份的晚餐宣布後，特朗普的代幣確實看到了短暫的價格，但很快再次下降。

Adding to the controversy, two companies connected to Donald Trump reportedly control about 80% of the TRUMP token supply, although a large portion of those holdings are locked and set to vest over the next three years.

據報導，還有兩家與唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）聯繫的公司與唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）有關的兩家公司控制著大約80％的特朗普代幣供應，儘管這些持股中的很大一部分被鎖定並在未來三年內將歸屬。

Critics have warned that the structure leaves room for insiders to potentially pull the rug on retail investors, especially as political and regulatory scrutiny over crypto and campaign fundraising is heating up.

批評者警告說，該結構為內部人員留出了可能吸引零售投資者地毯的空間，尤其是在政治和監管對加密貨幣和競選籌款活動的審查正在加熱的時候。

For his part, Trump gave mixed messages on whether he has financially benefited from his own cryptocurrency project during a Meet the Press interview that was filmed on March 31 and broadcast on May 4.

就特朗普而言，特朗普在3月31日拍攝並於5月4日播出的新聞發布會上發表了有關他自己是否從財務中受益的信息。

When pressed by NBC’s Kristen Welker about profiting from the "Official Trump" (TRUMP) memecoin launched in January, Trump replied, "I haven't even looked," and insisted, "I'm not profiting from anything."

當NBC的克里斯汀·韋爾克（Kristen Welker）向“特朗普官方”（特朗普）Memecoin在一月份發射的敦促時，特朗普回答說：“我什至沒有看，並堅持說：“我沒有從任何東西中獲利。 ”

However, he added, "If I own stock in something and I do a good job, and the stock market goes up, I guess I'm profiting."

但是，他補充說：“如果我擁有某事，並且做得很好，股市上升，我想我正在獲利。”
