週末遊說者贏得了特朗普的勝利，為XRP贏得了440億美元

Politico週四的一口勺揭示了3月2日在XRP盤內價格上漲的原因。

An interesting tidbit from the world of crypto and politics! A recent scoop by Politico unveiled how a female employee at Brian Ballard's lobbying firm, currently a client of Ripple, enticed Donald Trump into making a post on Truth Social that ultimately led to a $44 billion surge in XRP's market capitalization.

來自加密和政治世界的有趣花絮！ Politico最近的一項勺子揭示了Brian Ballard的遊說公司（目前是Ripple的客戶）如何吸引唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）發表關於真相社交的職位，最終導致XRP的市值增長了440億美元。

Apparently, the lobbyist, working on a request from a client, engaged Trump in conversation at Mar-a-Lago, persistently suggesting that he post about crypto. After days of persistence, Trump finally agreed, and his staffer posted it on his behalf.

顯然，遊說者在客戶的要求下工作，與特朗普在Mar-a-Lago進行對話，堅持認為他發布了有關加密貨幣的信息。經過幾天的持久性，特朗普終於同意了，他的工作人員代表他發布了它。

However, it seems Trump later grew wary of the situation, especially since no one told him about the "unspeakable conflict of interest"—the female employee was a paid lobbyist for Ripple at the time.

但是，似乎特朗普後來對這種情況感到持久，尤其是因為沒有人告訴他“不可言喻的利益衝突” - 女性僱員當時是Ripple的帶薪遊說者。

Aides said Trump was furious and began ranting to staff, adding that Ballard "is not welcome in anything anymore." Protos has reached out to Ripple for comment on Ballard Partners.

助手說，特朗普很生氣，開始向工作人員大聲疾呼，並補充說，巴拉德“不再受到任何事情。” Protos已接觸到Ripple對Ballard合作夥伴發表評論。

Now, let's put that $44 billion gain in perspective. At the time, Ballard's firm was making less than $60 million a year from lobbying. So, the value of Trump's post in driving up the price of XRP, ultimately benefitting Ripple, was truly immense.

現在，讓我們看著440億美元的收益。當時，巴拉德的公司每年從遊說中賺取不到6000萬美元。因此，特朗普帖子在提高XRP價格的價值最終使波紋受益的價值確實是巨大的。

It appears Trump recognized this error later on, as he ordered the administration to sell, not buy, XRP, and focused solely on bitcoin for purchasing activity.

似乎特朗普稍後曾承認這一錯誤，因為他命令政府出售，不購買，XRP，而專注於比特幣購買活動。

特朗普，纖維和440億美元的加密貨幣搶劫案：遊說者如何為客戶得分大，首先是在Protos上。

As the price chart above shows, that action benefited Ripple tremendously. At the time, Ballard's firm was annualizing less than $60 million in revenue, while its actions helped XRP rally $44 billion in market capitalization. The value was unmatchable.

正如上面的價格表所示，該動作受益匪淺。當時，巴拉德公司的收入不到6000萬美元，而其行動有助於XRP Rally Rally 440億美元的市值。該值是無與倫比的。

Later on, Trump tried to course-correct by relegating XRP to a sell-only stockpile and choosing BTC alone for the nation's ability to purchase new coins. Of all people, Trump certainly hates feeling used.

後來，特朗普試圖通過將XRP降級為僅賣出的庫存，並僅選擇BTC來糾正課程，並僅選擇BTC購買新硬幣的能力。在所有人中，特朗普當然討厭使用的感覺。

Still, the price of XRP has quadrupled since Trump assumed the presidency, so it seems the political benefit has not worn off entirely.

儘管如此，自特朗普擔任總統職位以來，XRP的價格已經達到了三倍，因此看來政治利益並未完全消失。

The incident wasn't the first time XRP benefited from political events. Both Ripple and its executives have been political donors for years.

該事件不是XRP第一次從政治事件中受益。多年來，Ripple及其高管一直是政治捐助者。

On November 15, 2024, XRP rallied 17% intraday on unconfirmed reporting that Ripple Labs CEO Brad Garlinghouse met with then-President-elect Trump.

2024年11月15日，XRP在未經證實的報導中提出了17％的盤中，稱Ripple Labs首席執行官Brad Garlinghouse與當時的總統當選特朗普會面。

XRP also directly benefited from Trump's promise to fire Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Gary Gensler. On March 19, XRP experienced a significant price surge after Garlinghouse announced that the SEC would drop its multi-year lawsuit against Ripple.

XRP還直接受益於特朗普對解僱證券交易委員會（SEC）董事長加里·金斯勒（Gary Gensler）的承諾。 3月19日，XRP在加林豪斯（Garlinghouse）宣布SEC將撤銷對Ripple的多年訴訟之後經歷了巨大的價格上漲。

Of course, Ripple hasn't always been Republican-aligned, despite its recent lobbying efforts to benefit from the Trump 2.0 administration.

當然，儘管最近為受益於特朗普2.0政府受益的努力，但波普爾並不總是與共和黨保持一致。

Prior to Trump, many people viewed Ripple not as red but as Democrat blue. Indeed, Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen personally donated $11 million worth of XRP to Kamala Harris' campaign.

在特朗普之前，許多人認為波紋不是紅色的，而是民主黨藍色。確實，Ripple聯合創始人Chris Larsen親自向Kamala Harris的競選活動捐贈了價值1100萬美元的XRP。

On July 13, 2023, Barack Obama-nominated U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres changed Gary Gensler's career forever. Torres forced Gensler, who was overseeing a landmark securities violation lawsuit against Ripple, to take a decisive step back as he wound down his tenure towards his ultimate resignation ahead of Trump's promise to fire him.

2023年7月13日，巴拉克·奧巴馬（Barack Obama）提名美國地方法院法官Analisa Torres永遠改變了Gary Gensler的職業生涯。托雷斯（Torres）迫使加斯勒（Gensler）負責監督對Ripple的具有里程碑意義的證券訴訟，他在特朗普承諾解僱他的諾言之前將自己的任期降低了最終辭職，因此退後一步。

On that day, Torres ruled that certain sales of XRP weren't securities, causing the market cap of XRP to double intraday from $25 to $50 billion.

那天，托雷斯裁定，XRP的某些銷售不是證券，導致XRP的市值從25億美元增加到500億美元。

In his last filing as SEC head, Gensler wrote that he still thought many XRP transactions were a securities offerings. Then he quit.

Gensler在他作為SEC負責人的最後一份文件中寫道，他仍然認為許多XRP交易是證券產品。然後他退出。
