民主黨參議員克里斯·墨菲（Chris Murphy）向律師法案介紹了律師協會和立法者發起加密貨幣的法案

民主黨康涅狄格州參議員克里斯·墨菲（Chris Murphy）週二提出了一項法案，該法案週二向律師協會總統和立法者推出加密貨幣，這是直接針對唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）總統進入數字資產領域的。

Democratic Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy introduced a bill Tuesday to bar presidents and lawmakers from launching cryptocurrencies, aimed squarely at President Donald Trump’s inroads into the digital asset space.

民主黨康涅狄格州參議員克里斯·墨菲（Chris Murphy）週二提出了一項法案，該法案週二向律師協會總統和立法者推出加密貨幣，這是直接針對唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）總統進入數字資產領域的。

The bill, dubbed the “Modern Emoluments and Malfeasance Enforcement” — or MEME — Act, would prohibit federal officials from creating or promoting cryptocurrencies with “joke” branding, a direct shot at Trump’s rollout of a satirical meme coin. The measure is meant to prevent a situation where “very powerful, very rich people [are] able to send money” to federal officials, Murphy said.

該法案被稱為“現代梅爾和瀆職執法”或模因，將禁止聯邦官員以“笑話”品牌創建或促進加密貨幣，這是特朗普推出諷刺性模因硬幣的直接鏡頭。墨菲說，該措施旨在防止“非常強大，非常有錢的人能夠向聯邦官員匯款”的情況。 （相關：集會後48小時，由於關稅生效48小時）

“Trump’s meme coin — it’s the most unethical, the most corrupt thing a president of the United States has ever done,” Murphy said. “It’s essentially a way for any corporate CEO, any Saudi prince, any foreign oligarch who has business before the Trump administration to send Trump money privately, secretly, and then whisper to the Trump administration about how much money they’ve sent and the favor that they need.”

墨菲說：“特朗普的模因硬幣 - 這是美國總統有史以來最不道德，最腐敗的事情。” “對於任何公司首席執行官，任何沙特王子，任何外國寡頭在特朗普政府面前開展業務，私下向特朗普派遣錢，然後向特朗普政府低聲介紹他們寄出了多少錢和所需的恩寵。”

Today I’m introducing a bill – the MEME Act – to ban a President or Member of Congress from issuing a meme coin.

今天，我正在介紹一項法案 - 《模因法》，以禁止或國會議員發行模因硬幣。

The measure builds on a provision in the 1978 Federal Ethics and Government Accountability Act, which prohibits presidents, vice presidents, members of Congress, judges and candidates for those offices from accepting anything of value from foreign officials, a limitation that does not apply to the officials’ spouses or children.

該措施是建立在1978年《聯邦道德與政府責任法》中的一項規定的基礎上的，該法案禁止總統，副總統，國會議員，法官和候選人為那些辦公室接受任何有價值的外國官員的任何價值，這一限制不適用於官員的配偶或兒童。

The Trump administration was hit with several legal complaints over the president’s handling of his family business, culminating in a 2020 Supreme Court ruling that allowed a New York state prosecutor to proceed with an investigation into Trump administration officials for alleged campaign finance violations.

特朗普政府對總統處理其家族企業的幾項法律投訴，最終在2020年最高法院的一項裁決中達到了最高指控，該裁決允許一名紐約州檢察官因涉嫌違反競選財務而對特朗普政府官員進行調查。

After Trump announced plans for a January 2024 gala with the top 220 $TRUMP token holders, administration officials said the event would violate campaign finance regulations. The event was later postponed until May 22.

在特朗普宣布了2024年1月的聯歡晚會的計劃和前220美元的特朗普持有人的計劃之後，政府官員表示，該活動將違反競選財務法規。該活動後來被推遲到5月22日。

The $TRUMP coin, which is based on the TRON blockchain, began trading in January at a price of $0.10 and reached a high of $24 in April, according to CoinGecko. At press time Tuesday, the coin was trading at around $12. Chainalysis estimates entities linked to the president have earned at least $320 million from the project, Axios reported.

據Coingecko稱，這款$特朗普硬幣是基於Tron區塊鏈的，一月份開始以0.10美元的價格進行交易，並於4月達到24美元。週二發稿時，硬幣的交易價格約為12美元。據Axios報導，與總統有關的鏈分析估計實體從該項目中獲得了至少3.2億美元的收入。

The MEME Act defines a meme coin broadly as any digital asset sold for remuneration, placing it alongside securities, commodities and NFTs as a “covered asset.” In addition to presidents and lawmakers, the prohibition would extend 180 days before and after an official’s tenure and apply to spouses, dependent children and senior military officers at the rank of O-7 or higher. Civil suits could be filed by the Justice Department or by private parties “suffering harm,” according to the bill’s text.

《模因法》將模因硬幣廣泛定義為任何用於報酬的數字資產，並將其與證券，商品和NFT一起放置為“覆蓋資產”。除總統和立法者外，該禁令將在官員任期前和之後的180天延長，併申請O-7或更高職位的配偶，受撫養子女和高級軍官。根據該法案的案文，司法部可以提起民事訴訟或私人各方“遭受損害”。

“This bill is a chance for Republicans and Democrats to come together and say that none of us — no member of the executive branch, no member of Congress — should be able to profit off of their position,” Murphy said.

墨菲說：“這項法案是共和黨和民主黨人聚集在一起的機會，說我們沒有一個人 - 行政部門的成員，沒有國會議員 - 不應能夠從他們的立場上獲利。”

The House Financial Services Democrats, led by California Rep. Maxine Waters, cancelled a scheduled joint hearing Tuesday to hold a Democrats-only hearing examining Trump’s coin.

由加利福尼亞州眾議員麥克辛·沃特斯（Maxine Waters）領導的眾議院金融服務民主黨週二取消了一次預定的聯合聽證會，以舉行僅民主黨的聽證會，以審查特朗普的硬幣。

“President Trump’s decision to launch his own meme coin in an attempt to profit off the presidency is the pinnacle of corruption,” Waters said in prepared remarks. “It’s no coincidence that the same administration that rolled back critical anticorruption measures is now shutting down bipartisan efforts to create a framework for stablecoins.”

沃特斯在準備的講話中說：“特朗普總統決定發起自己的模因硬幣以謀取總統職位是腐敗的巔峰之作。” “與重大反腐敗措施相同的政府現在正在關閉兩黨為製定穩定的框架的努力，這並非偶然。”

The meme coin's backers had previously announced plans for a May 22 gala dinner with Trump in Washington, D.C., but the event was later postponed.

Meme Coin的支持者此前曾宣布了5月22日在華盛頓特朗普舉行的晚宴的計劃，但此次活動後來被推遲了。

The bill also includes provisions to expand the definition of emoluments to include any benefit, gift, pay, compensation or reward, and to permit the Justice Department to pursue civil actions for emoluments violations.

該法案還包括擴大艾爾將定義的規定，包括任何福利，禮物，薪水，薪酬或獎勵，並允許司法部對違規行為採取民事訴訟。

The bill, which is co-sponsored by Democratic New Jersey Rep. Josh Liccardo, comes as bipartisan negotiations over a stablecoin framework have stalled. Democratic leaders have urged members to withhold support until stronger conflict-of-interest protections are added.

該法案是由民主黨新澤西州眾議員喬什·利卡多（Josh Liccardo）共同提出的，是因為關於穩定框架的兩黨談判陷入了停滯。民主黨領導人已敦促成員扣留支持，直到增加更強的利益衝突保護為止。
