唐納德·特朗普總統在全球加密貨幣業務中的個人和政府利益之間的摩擦

The friction between President Donald Trump’s personal and governmental interests in the global cryptocurrency business is creating a corrupt and fiscally dangerous swamp of its own.

唐納德·特朗普總統在全球加密貨幣業務中的個人和政府利益之間的摩擦正在造成腐敗且在財政上危險的沼澤。

On Thursday, he is hosting a dinner at his Virginia golf club exclusively for the biggest holders of his memecoin, $TRUMP. Memecoin values are tied to popularity and hype. His "coin" and another from his wife Melania were introduced in January as he was taking office. The $TRUMP venture had an initial market value of $15 billion, then plunged. But after the dinner invite was announced, prices rose again.

週四，他將在他的弗吉尼亞高爾夫俱樂部舉辦晚宴，專門為他的成員$特朗普的最大持有人舉辦晚宴。模因子值與受歡迎程度和炒作有關。他的“硬幣”和他的妻子梅拉尼亞的另一位幣在一月份上任時被介紹。特朗普風險投資的初始市場價值為150億美元，然後下跌。但是在宣布晚餐邀請後，價格再次上漲。

Many of the top 220 guests will be anonymous because the seats are paid for through crypto "wallets," a great number presumed to be from overseas. The Trump family business and a Delaware LLC reportedly own 80% of the token’s supply.

前220位客人中有許多將是匿名的，因為座位是通過加密“錢包”支付的，這是一個大量的數字，假定來自海外。據報導，特朗普家族企業和特拉華州有限責任公司擁有代幣供應的80％。

Trump’s conflicted role in the burgeoning crypto trade goes disturbingly far. World Liberty Financial, in which Trump’s three sons are involved, is going into stablecoins. That’s an electronic product tied — less subjectively than memecoins — to the value of the dollar.

特朗普在新興的加密貿易中的矛盾作用越來越令人不安。特朗普的三個兒子涉及的世界自由金融將進入穩定的人。這是一種電子產品，比起紀念性的產品不太主觀 - 與美元的價值相關。

Trump family representatives have discussed investing in the U.S. operation of Binance, the world’s biggest crypto exchange. What's unsettling is that Binance’s owner, Changpeng Zhao, pleaded guilty in 2023 to violating a U.S. anti-money laundering law. Now, Zhao is applying for a presidential pardon.

特朗普家庭代表討​​論了對全球最大加密交易所Binance的投資。令人不安的是，Binance的所有者Changpeng Zhao在2023年認罪，違反了美國反洗錢法。現在，趙正在申請總統赦免。

Seamier yet, an Abu Dhabi investment firm reportedly is using the Trump-tied World Liberty’s crypto currency to invest $2 billion in Zhao’s Binance exchange. Zhao last year met with Zach Witkoff in Abu Dhabi. Witkoff is a World Liberty co-founder — and son of Steve Witkoff, Trump’s special Mideast envoy, a clear conflict of its own.

據報導，阿布扎比投資公司的Seamier正在使用特朗普世界自由的加密貨幣投資20億美元，以投資20億美元。去年趙在阿布扎比會見了扎克·維托克夫（Zach Witkoff）。維科夫（Witkoff）是世界自由聯合創始人，也是特朗普特別中東特使史蒂夫·維科夫（Steve Witkoff）的兒子，這是一個明顯的衝突。

Trump’s crypto involvement is so entangled that it’s even hard for nonspecialists to absorb. It’s much easier to comprehend tangible grift like Trump accepting a $400 million luxury jet from Qatar or partnering his family business with that nation's state-owned real estate firm.

特朗普的加密參與是如此糾結，以至於非專業人士很難吸收。理解有形的人要容易得多，例如特朗普接受卡塔爾的4億美元豪華噴氣機，或與該國的國有房地產公司合作。羅克維爾中心的現任披薩切片

Most ominously, Trump gets to influence the shape and conduct of an international industry, in which he has grabbed a stake. Venture capitalist David Sacks became his crypto policy "czar" having raised millions of dollars for a Trump-aligned super PAC.

最不祥的是，特朗普會影響國際產業的形態和行為，他抓住了股份。風險資本家戴維·薩克斯（David Sacks）成為他的加密政策“沙皇”，為特朗普一致的超級PAC籌集了數百萬美元。

Potential abuses don’t get any bigger than controlling to your benefit a lucrative industry that was specifically created to safeguard transactional secrecy.

潛在的虐待行為沒有比控制您的利益的利益行業更大的，該行業是專門為維護交易保密而創建的。

Worst of all, if crypto isn’t properly controlled, experts say, it threatens to subvert the stability of the dollar. Congress has begun pushing through legislation to set ground rules. But lawmakers must investigate and respond to the sordid facts already on the ground involving Trump & Co.

專家說，最糟糕的是，如果加密貨幣沒有得到適當控制，它可能會顛覆美元的穩定性。國會已開始推動立法制定基本規則。但是，立法者必須調查並回應涉及特朗普＆Co的現場事實的骯髒事實。

It’s just one more way Trump’s norm-busting voraciousness to enrich himself must be contained where possible by Congress and the courts. Otherwise, in this case, the fiscal risks to the nation are huge.

這只是國會和法院在可能的情況下，必須將特朗普的頑強狂熱狂歡富裕。否則，在這種情況下，國家的財政風險是巨大的。
