特朗普數字資產承諾新加密遊戲，提示“玩付費”腐敗主張

民主黨參議員稱該競賽是“''扮演'腐敗的薪水”的公然例子。本週早些時候，參議院提高了一個王牌。

Democratic senators have called a cryptocurrency competition hosted by former President Donald Trump a “pay to play corruption” scheme as part of a broader effort to scuttle a GOP-led move to impose light-touch crypto regulation.

民主黨參議員稱，由前總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）主持的加密貨幣競賽是“發揮腐敗”計劃的一部分，這是一項更廣泛的努力，以削弱共和黨領導的舉動，以實施輕觸的加密法規。

Earlier this week, the Senate advanced a Trump-backed crypto regulation bill called the GENIUS Act after getting enough Democratic support to clear a potential filibuster. The legislation, which is set to be voted on next week, would create a new regulatory framework for crypto based largely on existing commodities law.

本週早些時候，參議院在獲得足夠的民主支持以清除潛在的訴訟後，提高了一項由特朗普支持的加密法規法案，稱為《天才法》。該立法將在下週進行投票，將在很大程度上基於現有商品法為加密貨幣創建一個新的監管框架。

The involvement of Democratic senators is crucial for the bill's passage, given the 50-50 partisan split in the chamber.

鑑於會議廳中的50-50黨派分裂，民主黨參議員的參與對於該法案的通過至關重要。

As part of the effort to rally support for the bill, GOP senators are highlighting Trump's backing for the legislation, which he expressed in an interview with Axios this week.

作為集會支持該法案的努力的一部分，共和黨參議員強調了特朗普對這項立法的支持，他在本週接受Axios的採訪中表示。

"This is a common-sense approach that will provide much-needed clarity and predictability for the digital asset industry," Trump said. "It's time for Congress to get this done and I urge the Senate to swiftly pass the GENIUS Act."

特朗普說：“這是一種常識性方法，將為數字資產行業提供急需的清晰度和可預測性。” “是時候讓國會做到這一點了，我敦促參議院迅速通過《天才法》。”

The former president's involvement in the crypto sphere has become a subject of interest, particularly his role in a crypto competition that drew an estimated $148 million in purchases from supporters around the world, according to blockchain analytics firm Inca Digital.

根據Blockchain Analytics Inca Digital，這位前總統參與加密貨幣領域已成為一個感興趣的主題，尤其是他在加密競爭中的作用，該競賽估計從全球支持者那裡獲得了大約1.48億美元的購買。

The competition, which was announced in December and is expected to launch in June, will award prizes to the top spenders of $TRUMP, a new token launched by Trump's family company, World Liberty Industrial Bank (WBIL), in partnership with the former president.

該競賽將於12月宣布，預計將於6月啟動，將獎勵特朗普的最高支出，這是特朗普家族公司世界自由工業銀行（WBIL）成立的新令牌，並與前總統合作。

Guests for Thursday night's dinner were required to complete a background check, according to a copy of the invitation viewed by CNBC. Attendees were instructed not to arrive before 5:30 p.m., with the dinner starting at 7 p.m. and expected to last three hours.

根據CNBC觀看的邀請的副本，需要在周四晚上的晚餐來完成背景調查。指示與會者在下午5:30之前不要到達，晚餐開始於晚上7點，預計將持續三個小時。

Pinto said he doesn't know what his investment in $TRUMP will get him other than the dinner. He said he thinks the tokens will be usable in a digital Trump golf game that was announced in December and is expected to launch in June, according to a press release.

平託說，除了晚餐外，他不知道他對特朗普的投資會得到什麼。他說，他認為代幣將在12月宣布的數字特朗普高爾夫遊戲中可用，預計將於6月推出。

"There's a few things that I want to ask him," Pinto said. "I definitely want to find out if he's going to want to use this coin in the game. That's probably my top question, because not many people know about that game."

平託說：“我想問他有幾件事。” “我絕對想找出他是否想在遊戲中使用這枚硬幣。這可能是我的首要問題，因為沒有多少人知道那個遊戲。”

The Trump coin team didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

特朗普硬幣團隊沒有立即回應置評請求。

Because crypto wallets are pseudonymous, most participants in the competition appeared only as three- to four-letter usernames linked to cryptographic wallet addresses. Many of the winners are tied to international exchanges, according to Inca Digital, raising concern that non-Americans may be paying for the opportunity to try to influence the U.S. president.

由於加密錢包是假名的，因此比賽中的大多數參與者僅以三到四個字母的用戶名與加密錢包地址相關。根據印加數字數字，許多獲獎者與國際交流有關，這引起了人們對非美國人可能正在為嘗試影響美國總統的機會的擔憂。

An analysis by Bloomberg revealed that 19 of the top 25 wallets, and more than half of the top 220, are almost certainly owned by individuals operating outside the U.S.

彭博社的一項分析顯示，前25個錢包中有19個，其中超過一半的前220個，幾乎可以肯定由美國以外的人擁有

The competition drew an estimated $148 million in purchases from supporters around the world, according to Inca Digital. That's a massive fundraising haul for a digital asset launched just months ago.

根據印加數字公司的說法，比賽從全球支持者那裡獲得了大約1.48億美元的購買。這是幾個月前推出的數字資產的大規模籌款活動。

Among those attending is Justin Sun, the Chinese-born founder of the TRON blockchain, who said this week that he is the contest's top-ranked investor.

參加會議的人是特隆區塊鏈的中國出生的創始人賈斯汀·孫（Justin Sun），他本週表示，他是比賽排名最高的投資者。

At current prices, Sun's stake in $TRUMP is now worth more than $20 million. Sun was also one of the first major backers of World Liberty Financial, the Trump family's crypto venture, buying at least $75 million of its native token "WLFI."

以目前的價格，$特朗普的股份現在價值超過2000萬美元。 Sun也是世界自由金融的首批主要支持者之一，Trump家族的加密貨幣冒險，至少購買了其原住民代幣的“ WLFI”至少7500萬美元。

In 2023, U.S. regulators accused Sun of illegally selling unregistered securities and artificially inflating token prices. A month into Trump's second White House term, a federal court filing showed that the Securities and Exchange Commission was in settlement talks with Sun to resolve the civil fraud charges.

2023年，美國監管機構指責太陽非法出售未註冊的證券，並人為地膨脹令牌價格。在特朗普第二個白宮任期的一個月後，聯邦法院的申請表明，證券和交換委員會正在與太陽進行和解談判，以解決民事欺詐指控。
