President Donald Trump is hosting two crypto-themed dinners this month, sparking concerns from lawmakers over potential conflicts of interest.

唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）總統本月將舉辦兩次以加密主題為主題的晚餐，引發了議員對潛在利益衝突的擔憂。

On Monday, Trump spoke at a $1.5 million-per-plate “Crypto & AI Innovators Dinner” at his Virginia golf club, which was closed to the press and featured “crypto czar” David Sacks as a guest. The dinner raised funds for Together PAC, a super PAC that is supporting Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign.

週一，特朗​​普在他的弗吉尼亞高爾夫俱樂部（Virginia Golf Club）舉行了每盤150萬美元的“ Crypto＆AI Innovators晚餐”的講話，他的弗吉尼亞高爾夫俱樂部（Virginia Golf Club）對媒體進行了關閉，並以“ Crypto Czar” David Sacks為客人。晚宴為PAC籌集了資金，PAC是一款支持特朗普2024年總統大選的超級PAC。

The event also saw the launch of a $TRUMP meme coin, with the top 220 token holders invited for a gala dinner later this month at Trump’s private club. The 25 highest-ranking holders will also be invited to a private reception at the White House.

該活動還啟動了$特朗普的模因硬幣，本月晚些時候在特朗普的私人俱樂部邀請了前220個像徵持有人參加盛大晚宴。排名最高的25個持有人也將被邀請在白宮舉行私人招待會。

The minimum investment required for a spot among the top 220 token holders is $10,000, while the 25 highest-ranking token holders will have invested at least $1 million.

在前220個代幣持有人中，一席之地所需的最低投資為10,000美元，而25個最高的令牌持有人將至少投資100萬美元。

The events have drawn backlash from lawmakers who accuse Trump of selling access to wealthy crypto backers. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) warned that the meme coin gala offers “exclusive access to the presidency in exchange for significant investment in one of the President’s business ventures.”

這些事件引起了立法者的強烈反對，他們指責特朗普向有錢的加密支持者出售機會。參議員伊麗莎白·沃倫（D-Mass。）和眾議員亞當·席夫（D-Calif。）警告說，模因硬幣盛會提供了“與總統的獨家訪問，以換取對總統的一家商業企業的大量投資”。

“This isn’t about donuts. It’s about the presidency of the United States,” they said in a letter to the president.

他們在給總統的一封信中說：“這與甜甜圈無關。這是關於美國總統的。”

The lawmakers also raised concerns over the Trump-linked stablecoin USD1, which is being launched by a firm co-founded by Trump’s son Eric.

議員們還對特朗普的Stablecoin USD1提出了擔憂，該公司是由特朗普的兒子埃里克（Eric）共同創立的公司發起的。

“The Trump family appears to be using crypto to personally profit while legislation that could benefit them advances in the Senate,” the lawmakers said.

立法者說：“特朗普家族似乎正在利用加密貨幣親自獲利，而這可能使他們在參議院進步的立法受益。”

Trump’s crypto-themed dinner backlash

特朗普以加密為主題的晚餐反彈

The event has reignited debate over transparency in political crypto fundraising, as neither Trump nor his campaign disclosed the identities of top token holders. Watchdog group Accountable. The US called the $TRUMP leaderboard dinner “the most nakedly corrupt self-enrichment scheme in U.S. presidential history.”

這項活動重新激發了關於政治加密籌款活動中透明度的辯論，因為特朗普和他的競選活動都沒有透露頂級持有人的身份。看門狗組負責。美國稱$特朗普的排行榜晚餐是“美國總統歷史上最腐敗的自我灌輸計劃”。

“After 18 months of brazenly flouting campaign finance norms, Trump and his cronies have sunk to a new low with this blatant pay-to-play scheme to enrich himself and keep his campaign afloat,” said the group’s president, Sarah Brynjolffson.

該組織的總裁莎拉·布林喬爾夫森（Sarah Brynjolffson）說：“經過18個月的大規模虛張聲勢競選融資規範，特朗普和他的親戚們以這個公然的付費計劃使自己充實並保持競選活動的勢頭降低了新的低落。”

Despite the controversy, interest in the $TRUMP token has soared, rising more than 50% after the dinner was announced last month. The token is now up over 400% since its launch in April.

儘管引起了爭議，但對特朗普代幣的興趣仍在飆升，上個月宣布晚餐後上漲了50％以上。自4月推出以來，該令牌現在已上漲了400％以上。

The White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

白宮沒有立即回應置評請求。

Some Senate Republicans have also expressed concerns over the exclusive dinner and White House tour. Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.), who has been spearheading cryptocurrency regulation in the Senate, said, “This is my president that we’re talking about, but I am willing to say that this gives me pause.”

一些參議院共和黨人還對獨家晚宴和白宮巡迴演唱會表示擔憂。參議員的參議員辛西婭·盧米斯（Cynthia Lummis）（R-Wyo。）一直率領參議院的加密貨幣監管，他說：“這是我正在談論的總統，但我願意說這讓我停頓了。”

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) expressed uneasiness about the event, noting that while Trump is living in the White House, “it’s the people’s house.”

參議員麗莎·默科夫斯基（Lisa Murkowski）（R-Alaska）對這一事件表示不安，並指出特朗普住在白宮時，“這是人民之家。”

Lummis said Congress needs to regulate standards around using digital assets like meme coins. Senate Democrats have been more critical, with Warren and Schiff expressing “grave ethics and legal concerns” in a letter addressing the dinner. Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) suggested the potential for impeachment over the meme coin dinner, while Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) called it a “violation of the Constitution.”

盧米斯說，國會需要使用模因硬幣等數字資產來規範標準。參議院民主黨人在一封關於晚餐的信中表達了“嚴重的道德和法律關注”，參議院民主黨人更為批評。參議員喬恩·奧索夫（Jon Ossoff）（D-ga。）建議對模因硬幣晚宴進行彈each的潛力，而參議員科里·布克（Cory Booker）（DN.J.）稱其為“違反憲法”。

The controversy comes as the Senate is set to take up bipartisan legislation to establish a regulatory framework for stablecoins. The Senate Banking Committee voted last month to send the legislation to the full Senate.

爭議是因為參議院將採取兩黨立法來建立穩定幣的監管框架。參議院銀行委員會上個月投票通過將立法發送給全體參議院。
