特朗普的新特朗普模因硬幣有望獲得豐厚的回報，但引起了道德問題

總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）為領先的投資者在他的特朗普模因硬幣中安排的奢侈晚餐引起了爭議

An extravagant dinner arranged by former President Donald Trump for leading investors in his namesake meme coin has sparked controversy after guests collectively spent $148 million to attend the event, while the token's value continues to decline.

前總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）為領先的投資者在他的同名模因硬幣中安排的奢侈晚宴引發了爭議，因為客人共同花費了1.48億美元參加活動，而代幣的價值繼續下降。

The gala, held on May 24th at the Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, was part of an initiative by Trump to launch his own stablecoin, which he unveiled earlier this year in partnership with the Trump Organization and the FTX-backed DeFi platform, Unstoppable Domains.

該晚會於5月24日在佛羅里達州的Mar-a-Lago度假村舉行，是特朗普倡議的一部分，該計劃啟動了自己的Stablecoin，他於今年早些時候與特朗普組織和FTX支持的Defi平台合作宣布了自己的Stablecoin，該公司不可阻擋。

The event, which was attended by crypto executives such as Unstoppable Domains' Sandy Carter, influencers, and former NBA star Lamar Odom, who used the platform to endorse Trump as "the greatest president" while promoting his own token, $ODOM, began with a lavish cocktail hour.

該活動由加密高管參加，例如不可阻擋的域名桑迪·卡特（Sandy Carter），有影響力的人和前NBA明星拉馬爾·奧多姆（Lamar Odom），他們利用該平台來認可特朗普作為“最偉大的總統”，同時宣傳自己的代幣，$ odom，始於一個奢侈的雞尾酒會。

Guests were then treated to a lavish meal, though investor Nicholas Pinto, 25, was less than impressed with the culinary offerings.

然後，賓客享用了一頓豐盛的飯菜，儘管25歲的投資者尼古拉斯·平托（Nicholas Pinto）對烹飪產品印象深刻。

"The food sucked. We were only offered water or Trump's wine, and my glass was filled just once," he said.

他說：“吸食的食物。我們只有水或特朗普的葡萄酒，我的玻璃杯只裝了一次。”

During his 23-minute appearance, Trump, who is running for president again in 2024, touched upon familiar themes, such as the "deep state" and the "fake news media." He also spoke about his vision for a new financial system powered by blockchain technology.

在23分鐘的露面中，特朗普在2024年再次競選總統，談到了熟悉的主題，例如“深度國家”和“假新聞媒體”。他還談到了他對由區塊鏈技術提供支持的新金融系統的願景。

"We're going to have the greatest economic system that's ever been known, and it's going to be a system where people can participate fully and fairly," Trump said.

特朗普說：“我們將擁有有史以來最偉大的經濟體系，這將是一個可以充分公平參與的系統。”

He then departed via helicopter without greeting guests or posing for photos with contest winners, as promised by event organizers.

然後，正如活動組織者所承諾的那樣，他在沒有向客人打招呼或與比賽獲勝者合影的情況下乘直升機出發。

Security measures also drew criticism, with Pinto noting that phones were largely unrestricted throughout the evening and supervision dissolved quickly after Trump's exit.

安全措施也引起了批評，平托（Pinto）指出，整個晚上的電話在很大程度上受到了不受限制的影響，在特朗普退出後，監督很快就消失了。

"It was like a mob boss's party in the best way possible," he said.

他說：“以最好的方式，這就像一個暴民老闆的聚會。”

The event's opulence—Pinto observed at least 16 guests wearing Richard Mille watches—contrasted with a subdued mood as attendees monitored the token's falling value on their devices.

該活動的富裕 - 彭托（Pinto）觀察到至少有16位穿著理查德·米勒（Richard Mille）手錶的客人，隨著與會者監視令牌在其設備上的下降價值時，情緒柔和。

"Everyone was in a bad mood after the token started tanking," he added.

他補充說：“在代幣開始坦克之後，每個人都心情不好。”

The gala's fallout extended to Capitol Hill, where Senate Democrats proposed legislation to ban presidents and other senior officials from profiting from crypto ventures while in office.

晚會的後果擴展到了國會山，參議院民主黨人提出立法，禁止總統和其他高級官員在任職期間從加密貨幣中獲利。

This proposal, which was co-led by Senate Banking Chairman, Democrat Tim Kaine, and Senator Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), is a direct challenge to Trump's USD1 stablecoin project.

該提案由參議院銀行主席，民主黨蒂姆·凱恩（Tim Kaine）和參議員傑夫·默克利（Jeff Merkley）（D-ore。）共同領導，是對特朗普的USD1 Stablecoin項目的直接挑戰。

"This administration-by-an-oligarch model is dangerous for our democracy and divides our nation," Merkley stated during a press conference.

默克利在一次新聞發布會上說：“這個逐個政府的模式對我們的民主是危險的，並將我們的國家劃分。”

"We need to create a system where presidents are serving the people, not their own personal financial interests or the interests of campaign donors."

“我們需要創建一個系統，總統為人民服務，而不是他們自己的個人財務利益或競選捐助者的利益。”

Bipartisan efforts to pass the GENIUS Act, a stablecoin regulation bill, also faced disruption after Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) added a contentious amendment capping credit card late fees, potentially affecting banking sector support for the legislation.

在參議員喬什·霍利（Josh Hawley）（R-Mo。）增加了有爭議的修正案封頂信用卡的滯納金，可能會影響銀行業對立法的支持後，兩黨努力通過《穩定法規》法案的努力，這是一項Stablecoin法案。

Major U.S. banks, including JPMorgan and Bank of America, are reportedly exploring the creation of a unified digital dollar, but progress depends on regulatory clarity, which is now jeopardised by political wrangling.

據報導，包括摩根大通和美國銀行在內的美國主要銀行正在探索統一的數字美元的創建，但進展取決於監管的清晰度，現在，政治上的爭執危害了。

Trump's use of the presidential seal during his speech, which is prohibited under federal law as it implies government endorsement of the token, has also brought legal scrutiny.

特朗普在演講中使用總統​​印章的使用，這是聯邦法律所禁止的，這意味著政府對代幣的認可也帶來了法律審查。

The White House distanced itself from the event, with press secretary Karoline Leavitt stating that Trump attended "in his personal capacity." However, critics argue that the line between his political and commercial interests remains blurred.

白宮與事件保持距離，新聞秘書卡羅琳·萊維特（Karoline Leavitt）表示，特朗普“以個人身份”參加了比賽。但是，批評家認為，他的政治和商業利益之間的界線仍然模糊。

"He's holding forth in the MAGA hat and with the presidential seal on his podium, and yet he's talking about his new private token and touting his family's new DeFi project," said one critic.

一位評論家說：“他戴著瑪格（Maga）的帽子，並在講台上戴著總統印章，但他正在談論他的新私人代幣並吹捧家人的新迪迪（New Defi）項目。”

"It's a blatant violation of federal law and campaign finance rules."

“這是對聯邦法律和競選財務規則的公然侵犯。”

A blockchain analysis revealed that the majority of the top TRUMP token holders utilised foreign exchanges, such as Bittrex Global and Coinswiss, which are typically inaccessible to U.S. users.

一個區塊鏈分析表明，大多數特朗普代幣持有人都利用外國交易所，例如Bittrex Global和Coinswiss，通常對我們用戶無法訪問。

Among the attendees was Chinese crypto mogul Justin Sun, who is currently facing paused SEC fraud charges. Sun, who holds $22 million in TRUMP tokens, was the third-largest holder of the token as of May 24th.

參與者中有中國加密大亨賈斯汀·孫（Justin Sun），他目前面臨暫停的SEC欺詐指控。 Sun在特朗普代幣中持有2200萬美元，截至5月24日，它是代幣的第三大持有人。

Outside the venue, demonstrators, including Senator Merkley, gathered to protest against "crypto corruption" and urge lawmakers to pass legislation limiting politicians' ability to exploit cryptocurrency for personal gain.

在會場之外，包括參議員默克利（Merkley）在內的示威者聚集在一起抗議“加密腐敗”，並敦促立法者通過立法，以限制政治家利用加密貨幣以獲得個人利益的能力。

The protesters, who were organized by the anti-corruption group CREW, also distributed fliers warning guests about the potential for a pyramid scheme and highlighting the involvement of Trump's family members in the token project.

由反腐敗組織船員組織的抗議者還向客人發出了傳單，警告客人有關金字塔計劃的潛力，並強調了特朗普的家庭成員參與代幣項目。

Despite boasting an impressive start with over $324 million in trading fees collected since its debut in January, the TRUMP token has encountered difficulties in recent months, with its price plummeting rapidly

儘管自1月份首次亮相以來收取的交易費用超過3.24億美元，但特朗普代幣最近幾個月遇到了困難，其價格迅速下降，但迅速遇到了困難。
