一小群加密貨幣交易者賺了近1億美元

一小群加密貨幣交易者通過在公開前購買梅拉尼亞·特朗普的成員賺了近1億美元。

A small group of crypto traders made nearly $100 million by buying Melania Trump’s memecoin minutes ahead of it going public, new research has shown.

新的研究表明，一小群加密貨幣交易員通過在公開時間之前購買了梅拉尼亞·特朗普（Melania Trump）的成員分鐘，賺了近1億美元。

The first lady’s $MELANIA coin was unveiled on January 19, the day before her husband was sworn in as president. It followed a similar move by Trump himself, who launched his own $TRUMP coin several days prior.

第一夫人的$ Melania硬幣於1月19日宣布，即她的丈夫宣誓就職的前一天。此後，特朗普本人採取了類似的舉動，他在幾天前推出了自己的$特朗普硬幣。

But analysis by the Financial Times shows that in the two and a half minutes between the currency going live and Melania officially announcing it to the public on Truth Social, two dozen digital wallets purchased tokens worth $2.6 million.

但是，《金融時報》的分析表明，在貨幣現場直播和梅拉尼亞之間正式向公眾宣布真相社交之間的兩分鐘半鐘之間，有兩十個數字錢包購買了價值260萬美元的代幣。

Following Melania’s announcement the price of the coins surged rapidly by over 5000 percent and most of the wallets that had purchased the cryptocurrency immediately sold off their holdings, with around 81 percent of traders selling the coin within 12 hours for massive profit.

梅拉尼亞（Melania）宣布，硬幣的價格迅速飆升了5000％以上，購買加密貨幣的大多數錢包立即出售了其股份，大約81％的交易者在12小時內出售硬幣以賺取大量利潤。

One of the wallets bought $681,000 of $MELANIA 64 seconds before the announcement was made public. In the 24 hours that followed, the same account sold the majority of its stock for $39 million when the surge was at its highest, before dumping the rest and making an additional $4.4 million over the next three days.

在宣佈公告之前，其中一個錢包以64秒的價格購買了681,000美元的$ 681,000美元。在隨後的24小時內，同一帳戶在激增的最高點時以3,900萬美元的價格出售了其大部分股票，然後在接下來的三天內傾倒其餘的440萬美元。

The method is a stark contrast to the launch of $TRUMP, which had no pre-announcement sales and logged its first purchase 42 seconds after the president posted about it on Truth Social.

該方法與$特朗普的推出形成鮮明對比，後者沒有宣布前的銷售，並在總統發布有關真相社會的關於它的第42秒後記錄了其首次購買。

$MELANIA meanwhile saw an additional $900,000 of tokens purchased in the 42 seconds after it was announced, suggesting a degree of insider knowledge from the biggest buyers.

同時，梅拉尼亞（Melania）在宣布後的42秒內購買了額外的90萬美元代幣，這表明最大的買家有一定程度的內部知識。

The first account to purchase $MELANIA bought coins worth $40,000 141 seconds before the launch. It then went on to sell 86 percent of its holdings within 2 hours, making $2.5 million profit.

首個購買$ Melania的帳戶在發布前購買了價值$ 40,000 141秒的硬幣。然後，它繼續在2小時內賣出86％的持股，從而獲得250萬美元的利潤。

Although most of the wallets involved in the pre-announcement purchases remain anonymous, the FT has identified the above buyer of them as belonging to Hayden Davis, a 28-year-old crypto entrepreneur from Texas who said he was involved in the launch of $MELANIA.

儘管涉及公告前購買的大多數錢包仍然是匿名的，但FT已將上述買家確定為屬於德克薩斯州的28歲的加密企業家海登·戴維斯（Hayden Davis），他說他參與了$ Melania的推出。

Davis, who was integral in launching another memecoin, $LIBRA, found himself at the center of a political scandal in February after the currency was briefly endorsed by Argentina’s President Javier Milei, which resulted in a similar price surge followed by a crash.

戴維斯（Davis）在推出另一個紀念物$ libra方面是不可或缺的，在阿根廷總統的總統賈維爾·米利（Javier Milei）短暫地認可貨幣之後，二月發現自己處於政治醜聞的中心，這導致了類似的價格上漲，隨後發生了墜機。

During an interview with independent crypto journalist Coffeezilla, Davis confirmed he was part of the $MELANIA team and said they “wanted to snipe it, because of how big the snipe was on $TRUMP,” but added that nobody involved with the launch was “the big sniper.”

戴維斯在接受獨立加密新聞記者咖啡賽的採訪時，確認他是梅拉尼亞團隊的成員，並說他們“想狙擊它，因為狙擊手在$ trump上有多大，”但補充說，沒有人參與發布是“大狙擊手”。

“There was no money made from the Melania team. We didn’t take any liquidity out. Zero,” Davis stated.

戴維斯說：“梅拉尼亞隊沒有錢。我們沒有帶來任何流動性。零。”

Crypto exchange platform Arkham Intelligence also revealed that one of the wallets connected to the $MELONIA pre-purchase was once used by Barron Trump. While there is no evidence he was involved in purchasing his mother’s cryptocoin, the president’s youngest son is a key member of the Trump family’s crypto exchange, the World Liberty Foundation, and is rumored to have created his own Trump-themed digital token with the assistance of “pharma-bro” and convicted felon Martin Shkreli.

加密交流平台Arkham Intelligence還透露，與Melonia預售相關的一件錢包曾經被Barron Trump使用。儘管沒有證據表明他參與購買母親的加密蛋白，但總統的小兒子是特朗普家族的加密貨幣交易所，世界自由基金會的關鍵成員，有傳言稱，在“ Pharma-Bro”的幫助下創建了自己以特朗普為主題的數字代碼，並定罪了Felon Martin Shkreli。

Describing his son as a ”blockchain wizard,” Trump said: "Barron knows so much about this. Barron's a young guy, but he knows—he talks about his [crypto] wallet, he's got four wallets or something, and I'll say 'what is a wallet?' But he knows it inside out," according to the Independent.

特朗普將他的兒子描述為“區塊鏈嚮導”，“巴倫對此非常了解。巴倫是個年輕人，但他知道 - 他談論他的[加密貨幣]錢包，他有四個錢包或其他東西，我會說'什麼是錢包？''但是他知道這一點，”獨立人士說。

In total, traders who profited off the launch of $TRUMP have earned at least $350 million in token sales and transaction fees, after the price of Trump’s coin once again surged when he announced that largest holders would be eligible to have dinner with the president.

總的來說，在特朗普的代幣價格再次飆升之後，他宣布最大的持有人有資格與總統共進晚餐後，總共獲得了$特朗普的貿易商的銷售和交易費用至少為3.5億美元。

There are around 800 million remaining $MELANIA coins which were not listed for public sale. According to analysis by the FT, "the entities which launched the coin—which are separate to the wallets that traded in it prior to the official announcement—have so far withdrawn profits of $64.7mn from fees and primary sales."

大約有8億美元的Melania硬幣未列出進行公開銷售。根據英國銀行的分析，“發射硬幣的實體與在正式公告之前交易的錢包分開了，因此從費用和主要銷售中撤回了6470萬美元的利潤。”
