特朗普的模因硬幣吸引了數千萬美元的投資

《華盛頓郵報》的一項新分析表明，美國總統唐納德·特朗普的模因硬幣吸引了數千萬美元的投資

A new analysis by The Washington Post reveals that US President Donald Trump’s meme coin has attracted tens of millions of dollars in investments since a recent announcement.

《華盛頓郵報》的一項新分析表明，自最近宣布以來，美國總統唐納德·特朗普的模因硬幣吸引了數千萬美元的投資。

Announcing that top buyers would join Trump for an “intimate private dinner” next month sparked a huge surge in purchases of the coin.

宣布頂級買家將加入特朗普下個月的“親密私人晚餐”，這引起了購買硬幣的巨大興趣。

According to the report, 27 crypto wallets have each bought over 100,000 $TRUMP coins—valled at approximately a million dollars—following the announcement that the top 220 coin holders would be rewarded with a special event on 22 May at Trump National Golf Club, located just outside Washington, D.C.

根據該報告，27個加密錢包各自購買了超過100,000美元的特朗普硬幣（約一百萬美元），並宣布宣布將於5月22日在特朗普國家高爾夫俱樂部舉行的特朗普國家高爾夫俱樂部（DC），位於華盛頓州以外的特朗普國家高爾夫俱樂部（DC）

The news has sparked concern over potential conflicts of interest, as the coin offers direct access to the president, a move which some critics argue could blur ethical lines. The largest known purchase involved two million $TRUMP coins valued at approximately $24 million, contributing to the collective eight million $TRUMP coins—worth roughly $100 million—acquired by the 27 wallets. Crypto wallets are typically anonymous, making it difficult to identify the individuals behind these purchases.

這一消息引發了人們對潛在利益衝突的關注，因為硬幣可以直接與總統接觸，這一舉動認為這一舉動可能會模糊道德界限。最大的已知購買涉及200萬美元的特朗普硬幣，價值約為2400萬美元，這給集體八百萬美元的特朗普硬幣（約1億美元）造成了27個錢包的要求。加密錢包通常是匿名的，因此很難識別這些購買背後的個人。

The meme coin’s value has soared by more than 30 per cent since the announcement, reaching around $12 per coin, which has increased the value of the wallets associated with Trump’s business partners by about $100 million. The team behind the meme coin, a group aligned with Trump’s family business, also profit from transaction fees on purchases and trades. In the past week alone, the project has earned $1.25 million in fees.

自宣布以來，模因硬幣的價值飆升了30％以上，每枚硬幣達到約12美元，這使與特朗普的商業夥伴相關的錢包的價值增加了​​約1億美元。 Meme Coin背後的團隊是一個與特朗普家族企業保持一致的團體，也從購買和交易的交易費用中獲利。僅在過去的一周中，該項目就獲得了125萬美元的費用。

Trump, who has long expressed his ambition to make the US the “crypto capital of the planet,” has supported his sons’ endorsement of the meme coin as the “hottest digital meme on earth.” However, critics argue that this promotion could open up a “pay-to-play” scenario, where wealthy individuals could potentially purchase access to the president. Virginia Canter, the chief ethics counsel for State Democracy Defenders Action and a former White House associate counsel under Barack Obama, expressed her criticism of the project.

長期以來，特朗普一直表示將美國成為“地球的加密首都”的雄心勃勃，他支持了他的兒子對模因硬幣的認可為“地球上最熱門的數字模因”。但是，批評家認為，這種促銷活動可以打開“付費遊戲”的情況，在這種情況下，有錢人可能會在其中購買與總統的機會。弗吉尼亞·坎特（Virginia Canter）是國家民主捍衛者行動的首席道德律師，也是巴拉克·奧巴馬（Barack Obama）的前白宮副法律顧問，對該項目表示了批評。

“He’s actually selling access, personal access, to him and to the White House if people invest in this meme coin, which really has no intrinsic value,” Canter told the Post.

坎特告訴《郵報》：“如果人們投資這款模因硬幣，他實際上將訪問，個人訪問權限出售給白宮，這確實沒有內在價值。”

Senator Chris Murphy (D-Connecticut) also slammed the venture, writing on X: “This isn’t Trump just being Trump. The Trump coin scam is the most brazenly corrupt thing a President has ever done. Not close.”

參議員克里斯·墨菲（Chris Murphy）（D-Connecticut）也抨擊了這項冒險，並在X上寫道：“這不是特朗普只是特朗普。特朗普硬幣騙局是總統做過的最艱難的事情。

Despite the backlash, the meme coin has flourished. The project is managed by a Trump Organization affiliate and a Delaware-registered company, Fight Fight Fight, which together own 80 per cent of the coins. The company, which is being headed by Trump’s friend and entrepreneur Bill Zanker, is named after Trump’s rallying cry following his attempted assassination last year in Pennsylvania.

儘管有反彈，但模因硬幣還是蓬勃發展。該項目由特朗普組織的分支機構和一家經過特拉華州註冊的公司Fight Fight Fight管理，該公司共同擁有80％的硬幣。該公司由特朗普的朋友和企業家比爾·桑克（Bill Zanker）領導，他去年在賓夕法尼亞州的企圖暗殺後以特朗普的集會哭泣而命名。

Since the meme coin’s launch just days before the January inauguration, it has earned Trump and his business partners roughly $41 million in fees and $312 million in sales. Only the top 220 coin holders are eligible for the exclusive gala dinner, and a leaderboard ranks the anonymous accounts based on their holdings, with names like “elon,” “MTGA,” and “boop.”

自從Meme Coin啟動的前幾天開始，它就為特朗普及其商業夥伴贏得了約4,100萬美元的費用和3.12億美元的銷售。只有前220個硬幣持有者才有資格參加獨家晚宴，排行榜將根據其持有的匿名帳戶進行排名，名稱為“ Elon”，“ MTGA”和“ Boop”。

While most buyers remain anonymous, blockchain analysis tools used by the Post suggest some recent purchasers may have received funds from Binance, a crypto exchange that doesn't serve US customers, which raises the possibility that these investors are not American.

雖然大多數買家仍然匿名，但帖子使用的區塊鏈分析工具表明，一些最近的購買者可能已經從Binance那裡獲得了資金，Binance是一種不為美國客戶服務的加密交易所，這增加了這些投資者不是美國的可能性。

The largest wallet on the leaderboard, known as “Sun,” holds over 1.1 million $TRUMP coins, valued at more than $13 million. This wallet is linked to HTX, a Chinese crypto exchange, and the crypto billionaire Justin Sun, who invested $30 million in Trump’s World Liberty Financial last year. Sun is currently being investigated by the SEC for fraud, and recent legal actions suggest that this investment may come under scrutiny.

排行榜上最大的錢包（稱為“太陽”）擁有超過110萬美元的特朗普硬幣，價值超過1300萬美元。這個錢包與中國加密貨幣交易所HTX和加密貨幣億萬富翁賈斯汀·孫（Justin Sun）有關，他們去年向特朗普的世界自由金融投資了3000萬美元。 SEC目前正在調查SUN欺詐，最近的法律訴訟表明這項投資可能受到審查。

The meme coin’s website promotes the 22 May event as “one of the most exclusive events in the world.” However, the terms and conditions state that Trump might be unable to attend, and if the dinner is cancelled, attendees will receive a “limited edition” Trump NFT instead.

Meme Coin的網站將5月22日的活動推廣為“世界上最獨特的活動之一”。但是，條款和條件指出特朗普可能無法參加，如果取消晚餐，與會者將獲得“限量版”特朗普NFT。

Investors in Trump Media & Technology Group, the company behind Truth Social, have expressed their dissatisfaction with the preferential treatment being given to crypto investors. Chad Nedohin, an investor in the company, posted on Truth Social: “Where’s the part for [Trump Media] OGs who’ve been wiped out for 4 years?”

Trute Social背後的公司Trump Media＆Technology Group的投資者表示，他們對對加密投資者的優惠待遇表示不滿。該公司的投資者乍得·內多（Chad Nedohin）在“真相社交”上發布了：“特朗普媒體的OGS的部分是被淘汰了4年的？”

Despite a recent increase in value, the meme coin’s worth remains almost 90 per cent lower than its initial peak of $74, which it reached in mid-January, just before Trump’s inauguration.

儘管最近的價值增長，但模因硬幣的價值仍比其最初的74美元低90％，該高峰於1月中旬到達特朗普就職典禮之前。

In the meantime, the meme coin team continues to promote the gala event, posting on X that it would not be recorded.

同時，模因硬幣團隊繼續宣傳晚會活動，並在X上發布了該活動，這將不會被記錄。
