世界上最富有的加密貨幣交易者聚集在星期四晚上

Dozens of the world’s wealthiest cryptocurrency traders converged Thursday night for an exclusive black-tie dinner with President Donald Trump following a months-long contest that drew $148 million in global purchases and fierce backlash from Democratic lawmakers.

在一場長達數月的比賽中，全球最富有的加密貨幣交易者在周四晚上與總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）共進晚餐，這是一場長達數月的競賽，這一比賽吸引了1.48億美元的全球購買，並從民主黨立法者那裡獲得了強烈反對。

The event, held at Trump National Golf Club in Potomac Falls, Virginia, brought together the top 220 holders of the $TRUMP token for a final meal with the president ahead of his departure from the White House. It marked an unprecedented combination of politics and crypto, as Trump’s campaign auctioned off a seat at the dinner table with the sitting president to the highest bidders of the token.

該活動在弗吉尼亞州波托馬克瀑布的特朗普國家高爾夫俱樂部舉行，將$特朗普代幣的前220名持有人匯集在一起​​，在他離開白宮之前，與總統一起與總統一起進行了一頓美餐。它標誌著政治和加密貨幣的前所未有的組合，特朗普的競選活動在餐桌上拍賣了，現任總統與代幣的最高投標者一樣。

“It’s the most exclusive invitation in the world,” the campaign stated in a recent press release.

該運動在最近的新聞稿中說：“這是世界上最獨特的邀請。”

The dinner brought to a close a unique chapter in Trump’s political legacy, merging his political might with the decentralized realm of blockchain technology. The initiative began earlier this year with the launch of the $TRUMP token, a spinoff of the popular $PEPE token, on the TRON network. The tokens, which sold for fractions of a cent, were briskly traded by a vast retail army, generating billions of dollars in trading volume over several months.

晚餐使特朗普的政治遺產結束了一個獨特的章節，將他的政治意願與區塊鏈技術的分散領域融合在一起。該計劃始於今年早些時候，隨著Tron Network上流行的$ PEPE代幣的衍生產品的推出。代幣以百分之一的分數出售，由一支龐大的零售部隊輕快地交易，在幾個月內產生了數十億美元的交易量。

The contest’s structure prioritized early buyers over larger late-stage investors. Notably, some U.S. participants failed to secure a spot despite sizable contributions. Houston-based Freight Technologies, for example, invested $2 million in $TRUMP but was placed 250th, falling outside of the cutoff for the dinner.

比賽的結構優先考慮早期買家，而不是更大的後期投資者。值得注意的是，儘管有相當大的貢獻，但一些美國參與者仍未獲得席位。例如，總部位於休斯頓的貨運技術向特朗普投資了200萬美元，但被排名第250，落在晚餐的臨界範圍之外。

The event also drew criticism on Capitol Hill, particularly from Democrats, who say the dinner is a glaring example of “pay-to-play” politics.

該活動還引起了國會山的批評，特別是民主黨人，他們說晚餐是“付費”政治的一個明顯的例子。

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) called the gathering “an orgy of corruption,” accusing Trump of using the presidency as a platform to enrich himself.

參議員伊麗莎白·沃倫（D-Mass。

“Instead of accepting donations like any other president, Trump is auctioning off his influence through a token—inviting the highest bidders to an exclusive dinner in a final, desperate attempt to fill his own pockets,” Warren said in a press release.

沃倫在新聞稿中說：“特朗普沒有像其他總統那樣接受捐款，而是通過代幣拍賣自己的影響力，這是在最後一次拼命的試圖填補自己的口袋的決賽中，最高的投標人參加獨家晚宴。”

Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.)—who introduced legislation this week that would ban sitting presidents from profitering off meme coins while in office—said the administration is engaging in "a tale of corruption."

參議員克里斯·墨菲（Chris Murphy）（D-Conn。）本週提出了立法，該立法將禁止現任總統在任職期間授予Meme Coins，並表示政府正在進行“腐敗故事”。

“Just because the corruption is happening out in the open doesn’t make it any less corrosive,” Murphy said during a Thursday press conference. “This may be the most corrupt event of all.”

墨菲在周四的新聞發布會上說：“僅僅因為腐敗正在公開發生，這並沒有使它變得腐蝕。” “這可能是所有事件中最腐敗的事件。”

The White House, for its part, rejected these claims.

白宮就拒絕了這些主張。

“The president is working to secure good deals for the American people, not for himself. And he only acts in the best interest of the American public,” said deputy press secretary Anna Kelly.

副新聞秘書安娜·凱利（Anna Kelly）說：“總統正在努力為美國人民確定良好的交易。他只符合美國公眾的最大利益。”

The $TRUMP token itself began as a spinoff of the $PEPE token, merging the meme coin frenzy with Trump’s political persona. The tokens, launched ahead of Trump’s January inauguration, quickly rocketed to a $15 billion market cap before reducing to its current valuation of around $2.1 billion.

$ trump代幣本身始於$ pepe代幣的衍生產品，將模因硬幣狂潮與特朗普的政治角色融合在一起。代幣在特朗普1月的就職典禮之前推出，迅速升至150億美元的市值，然後降低到目前的估值約為21億美元。

Despite the volatility, insiders have profited handsomely. Chainalysis estimates more than $5.2 billion in profits went to top wallets, while over 590,000 retail traders collectively lost nearly $4 billion.

儘管有波動性，但內部人士仍然獲得了豐厚的利潤。 Chainalysis估計，超過52億美元的利潤進入了頂級錢包，而超過590,000個零售商人共同損失了近40億美元。

The token’s smart contract design also siphons a fee from every trade, which goes to wallets tied to the project team—reportedly including entities within the Trump Organization—allowing them to profit from daily trading activity. According to Inca Digital, 75% of all proceeds from Trump’s broader crypto venture, World Liberty Financial, have gone directly to the Trump family and affiliated entities.

代幣的智能合同設計還從每項交易中汲取了費用，這是與項目團隊相關的錢包（票據報導），包括包括特朗普組織內的實體，使他們從日常交易活動中獲利。根據印加數字數字，特朗普更廣泛的加密貨幣企業世界自由金融的所有收益中有75％直接轉移到了特朗普家族和附屬實體上。

One notable guest at the dinner is Justin Sun, the Chinese-born founder of the TRON blockchain, who has publicly stated his intention to attend the event. Sun, a top-ranking holder of $TRUMP, claims his investment in the token totals more than $20 million. He was also an early backer of the Trump family’s WLFI token, contributing $75 million.

晚餐時有一位著名的客人是Tron區塊鏈的中國出生的創始人賈斯汀·孫（Justin Sun），他公開表示打算參加該活動。特朗普$ $的最高持有人太陽聲稱他對代幣的投資超過2000萬美元。他還是特朗普家族WLFI代幣的早期支持者，貢獻了7500萬美元。

However, Sun remains under federal investigation in the U.S. for alleged securities fraud, according to a recent report by The New York Times. The investigation, which began in 2021, focuses on whether Sun’s TRON foundation engaged in an initial coin offering (ICO) without proper registration, potentially violating U.S. securities law.

然而，根據《紐約時報》的最新報告，太陽仍在美國因涉​​嫌證券欺詐而受到聯邦調查。該調查始於2021年，重點是Sun的Tron Foundation是否在沒有適當註冊的情況下從事初始硬幣產品（ICO），可能違反了美國證券法。
