More than half of the major holders of Trump Meme Coin are from foreign trading platforms that claim to ban American users, indicating that many buyers are from outside the United States.

特朗普模因硬幣的主要持有人中，有一半以上來自聲稱禁止美國用戶的外國交易平台，這表明許多買家來自美國以外。

Trump is a cryptocurrency that President Trump began promoting just days before Inauguration Day. Sales of Trump tokens have surged in the past two weeks following an unprecedented promotion: More than 200 of the largest token holders will be invited to a May 22 dinner at Trump’s Virginia golf club, while the top 25 holders will be eligible for an exclusive pre-dinner reception and what the Trump Token website describes as a “VIP” tour.

特朗普是特朗普總統在就職日前幾天開始促進的加密貨幣。在史無前例的促銷活動之後，在過去的兩個星期中，特朗普代幣的銷售額激增：將邀請200多個最大的代幣持有人參加在特朗普的弗吉尼亞州弗吉尼亞高爾夫俱樂部舉行的5月22日晚餐，而前25名持有人將有資格獲得獨家餐具前的招待會以及特朗普·特朗普（Trump Tokn）的網站的獨家網站。

Now, a Bloomberg News analysis shows that all but six of the top 25 holders registered on the site’s leaderboard used foreign exchanges that claimed not to accept U.S. residents. At least 56% of the top 220 holders on the list used similar offshore exchanges. The prevalence of these potential foreign buyers echoes congressional Democrats’ concerns about the ethics of promoting tokens with the promise of access to the president. It also raises questions about how the promotional dinner attendees, whose public identities can be linked only to a username consisting of a few letters, will be vetted.

現在，彭博新聞分析表明，該網站排行榜上註冊的前25名持有人中的六個以外的所有外國交易所都聲稱不接受美國居民。列表中排名前220個持有人中至少有56％使用了類似的海上交易所。這些潛在的外國買家的普遍性與國會民主黨人對促進令牌的道德規範的關注，並有望與總統接觸。它還提出了疑問，即如何將促銷晚宴的參與者（只能將公眾身份與包括幾個信件組成的用戶名相關聯）將被審查。

Most of the Trump Token holders may be outside the United States

大多數特朗普代幣持有人可能在美國以外

The value of tokens currently held by the 220 cryptocurrency wallets registered on the TRUMP leaderboard (by where the wallet holders are likely to be located). 76% of the value of tokens held in the top 220 wallets may belong to foreign owners because these wallets use trading platforms that are not available to US residents. Data source: Bloomberg analysis of SolScan data. (Note: Data as of 10 am EST on May 5. Usernames are listed on the TRUMP token website and are set by wallet holders when they register for the dinner promotion. One wallet that is still in the top 25 of the leaderboard website is not listed here because it sold almost all of its tokens on May 3)

當前在特朗普排行榜上註冊的220個加密貨幣錢包持有的代幣的價值（在錢包持有人可能會找到的地方）。在前220個錢包中擁有的代幣價值的76％可能屬於外國所有者，因為這些錢包使用了美國居民無法使用的交易平台。數據來源：彭博社分析Solscan數據。 （注意：截至5月5日美國東部時間上午10點的數據。用戶名在特朗普代幣網站上列出，並由錢包持有者註冊以進行晚餐促銷時設置。一個仍然在排行榜網站的前25位的錢包未列出此處，因為它幾乎在5月3日出售了所有代幣）

In the fine print on the website, organizers say attendees must pass a background check. “We will also review your wallet for KYC and compliance purposes,” the website reads. “You will be having dinner with the President of the United States!” But the website does not explain how such a review will be conducted.

在網站上的精美印刷品中，組織者說，與會者必須通過背景調查。網站上寫道：“我們還將出於KYC和合規目的查看您的錢包。” “您將與美國總統共進晚餐！”但是該網站沒有解釋如何進行此類審查。

Promoters of the TRUMP token did not respond to requests for comment, nor did White House officials.

特朗普代幣的發起人沒有回應置評請求，白宮官員也沒有回應。

In order to appear on the dinner leaderboard, people who bought TRUMP coins must register on its website, which says it will rank them based on the number of tokens they hold and how long they have been held. Many large holders have not yet registered. But another analysis by Bloomberg of all the largest buyers (whether on the leaderboard or not) shows that more than half of this broader group of buyers are also from foreign trading platforms.

為了出現在晚餐排行榜上，購買了特朗普硬幣的人必須在其網站上註冊，該網站表示將根據其持有的代幣數量以及持有的時間進行排名。許多大型持有人尚未註冊。但是，彭博社對所有最大的買家（無論是否在排行榜上）進行了另一項分析表明，這一廣泛的買家中有一半以上也來自外國交易平台。

It’s possible that some U.S. buyers have found ways to get around the ban by using foreign exchanges, such as using virtual private networks (VPNs) to hide U.S. IP addresses. Most exchanges said they took steps, such as collecting personal information from users, to try to prevent such circumvention. The three foreign exchanges most commonly used by big TRUMP token holders to fund their accounts or buy TRUMP coins are Binance, Bybit and OOEX, all of which have imposed restrictions on U.S. users. Bloomberg’s analysis found that six holders on the TRUMP token leaderboard made purchases on OOEX before it launched its trading platform in the U.S. on April 15. A spokesperson for OOEX said the company had not allowed U.S. residents to make purchases before then. Representatives for Binance and Bybit did not respond to requests for comment.

一些美國買家可能通過使用外國交易所找到解決禁令的方法，例如使用虛擬專用網絡（VPN）隱藏我們的IP地址。大多數交流表示，他們採取了步驟，例如從用戶那裡收集個人信息，以防止這種規避。大特朗普代幣持有人最常用的三項外交交流是為他們的帳戶提供資金或購買特朗普硬幣的三項外國交流是binance，bybit和ooex，所有這些都對美國用戶施加了限制。彭博社的分析發現，特朗普令牌排行榜上的六個持有人在4月15日在美國啟動其交易平台之前就在OOEX上進行了購買。 OOEX的一位發言人表示，該公司在此之前不允許美國居民進行購買。 Binance和Bybit的代表沒有回應置評請求。

Two of the three trading platforms have previously violated US law. In November 2023, Binance pleaded guilty to violating federal anti-money laundering and sanctions laws due to poor internal controls and paid more than $4 billion to the United States. Ouyi pleaded guilty to anti-money laundering violations in February and paid more than $420 million.

三個交易平台中的兩個以前違反了美國法律。在2023年11月，Binance因內部控制不佳而違反聯邦反洗錢和製裁法違反了聯邦反洗錢和製裁法，並向美國支付了超過40億美元。 Ouyi在2月對反洗錢違規行為認罪，並支付了超過4.2億美元。

This is not the first time that a Trump-related cryptocurrency project has attracted a large number of foreign investors.

這並不是第一次與特朗普相關的加密貨幣項目吸引大量外國投資者。

Justin Sun, a Hong Kong-based cryptocurrency entrepreneur, became an advisor to the project after announcing he had purchased tens of millions of dollars worth of tokens of World Liberty Financial (WLF), another cryptocurrency project promoted by the Trump family. Sun said at the time that he did not expect to receive any benefits from Trump for the investment. Sun may also be a major holder of TRUMP tokens, according to a Bloomberg analysis of cryptocurrency wallet transactions.

賈斯汀·孫（Justin Sun）是一位總部位於香港的加密貨幣企業家，在宣布他購買了價值數千萬美元的世界自由金融（WLF）代幣後，成為該項目的顧問，這是特朗普家族促進的另一個加密貨幣項目。孫當時說，他沒想到會從特朗普那裡獲得任何收益。根據對加密貨幣錢包交易的彭博社分析，太陽也可能是特朗普代幣的主要持有人。

World Liberty is promoting a stablecoin that will be used to facilitate transactions between Binance and an investment firm founded by the Abu Dhabi government, one of the company’s founders, Zach Witkoff, the

World Liberty正在促進一種穩定的穩定幣，該穩定將用於促進Binance和由阿布扎比政府創立的一家投資公司，該公司是該公司的創始人之一，Zach Witkoff，
