国会民主党人越来越关注特朗普总统的加密货币投资

自1月以来，与特朗普附属实体拥有的两个加密货币投资仅在其模因硬币和其他数字货币的销售方面支付了至少3亿美元的交易费用。

Congressional Democrats are increasingly concerned about President Donald Trump’s personal connections to the cryptocurrency industry, and that’s throwing a wrench in bipartisan efforts to regulate the digital currency.

国会民主党人越来越关注唐纳德·特朗普总统与加密货币行业的个人联系，这为两党制定了规范数字货币的努力。

Two of the cryptocurrency investments owned by Trump-affiliated entities have already made at least $300 million in trading fees alone on sales of his meme coin and other digital currency since January, according to a report by the New York Times.

据《纽约时报》的一份报告称，自1月以来，由特朗普附属实体拥有的两项加密货币投资仅在其Meme Coin和其他数字货币的销售方面就已经至少支付了3亿美元的交易费用。

The report said a company affiliated with Trump is promoting the $TRUMP meme coin by offering an “intimate private dinner” with the president at his northern Virginia golf club, after which the coin’s value grew as much as 80%.

该报告说，一家隶属于特朗普的公司通过与他的北弗吉尼亚高尔夫俱乐部的总统提供“亲密的私人晚餐”来促进特朗普的模因硬币，此后，硬币的价值增长了80％。

Another Trump family crypto firm, World Liberty Financial, announced on May 1 that one of its digital coins is being used by an Abu Dhabi government-backed investment firm for a $2 billion investment in cryptocurrency exchange Binance − a major outlay from a foreign government to the benefit of Trump’s family.

另一家特朗普家庭加密公司世界自由金融公司（World Liberty Financial）于5月1日宣布，阿布扎比政府支持的投资公司正在使用其数字硬币之一，用于对加密货币交易所进行的20亿美元投资 - 来自外国政府的大笔支出，从外国政府造福于特朗普的家人。

At the same time, the administration is moving to support the crypto industry’s growth in the United States, including creating a “strategic bitcoin reserve” and digital asset stockpile, and pulling back from a Biden-era crackdown on the industry.

同时，政府正在采取行动支持加密货币行业在美国的增长，包括创建“战略性比特币储备”和数字资产库存，并从对该行业的Biden-era镇压中退缩。

Lawmakers on Capitol Hill, too, had planned to advance legislation this week to create a regulatory framework for stablecoin, a type of crypto linked to the value of another asset like the dollar, in order to remain stable. The bill has been aggressively supported by crypto lobbyists and is expected to accelerate the currency’s growth.

国会山上的议员们也计划在本周推进立法，为Stablecoin创建一个监管框架，Stablecoin是一种与美元（如Dollar）的价值相关的加密货币，以保持稳定。该法案已得到加密游说者的积极支持，预计将加速货币的增长。

But nine Democrats who had previously supported the stablecoin bill, dubbed the GENIUS Act, abruptly announced on May 3 that they would no longer support the bill, citing concerns that the legislation doesn't do enough to prevent money laundering and protect national security.

但是，九名以前支持该法案的民主党人被称为《天才法》，于5月3日突然宣布，他们将不再支持该法案，理由是该立法没有足够的行动来防止洗钱和保护国家安全。

At least seven Democrats would be needed to pass the legislation in the Senate, where lawmakers need at least 60 votes to overcome the filibuster. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., repeatedly told reporters only that "Democrats and Republicans are talking to each other about the bill," while Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., said the Senate will proceed with a vote regardless.

至少需要七名民主党人通过参议院的立法，在那里立法者需要至少60票才能克服诉讼。参议院民主党领导人查克·舒默（Chuck Schumer，DN.Y.

Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., walked out of a House committee hearing on cryptocurrency on May 6 "because of the corruption of the president of the United States and his ownership of crypto and his oversight of all the agencies."

众议员Maxine Waters，D-Calif。于5月6日从一个众议院委员会听证会上，“由于美国总统的腐败及其对加密货币的所有权以及对所有机构的监督。”

Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., called for an Office of Government Ethics investigation into the president's crypto connections, and Sen. Richard Blumenthal, the top Democrat on the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, launched his own investigation into Trump's profits.

D-Calif的参议员亚当·希夫（Adam Schiff）呼吁对总统的加密联系进行政府道德办公室调查，参议院长期对调查的常任小组委员会的民主党参议员理查德·布卢门塔尔（Richard Blumenthal）进行了调查，他对特朗普的利润进行了调查。

Blumenthal demanded information about the business structures and potential conflicts of interest of World Liberty Financial and Fight Fight Fight (the Trump-linked business that owns the $TRUMP meme coin) in letters on May 6, which were viewed by USA TODAY.

Blumenthal要求在5月6日的信件中，要求有关世界自由金融和战斗战斗的潜在利益冲突（拥有$ TRUMP MEME COIN的特朗普企业）的信息。

"Donald Trump is selling cryptocurrency like snake oil in the Wild West, and he's put a for sale sign on the White House for his meme coin," Blumenthal said. "People in America deserve to know how he is potentially under the influence of foreign governments and investors who are buying his crypto assets."

Blumenthal说：“唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）在野外西部（Wild West）出售像蛇油（Snake Oil）一样的加密货币，他在白宫为他的模因硬币销售标志。” “美国的人们应该知道他如何在购买加密货币资产的外国政府和投资者的影响下。”

Sens. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., and Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., plan to introduce a bill Wednesday that would ban the president, vice president, members of Congress and their families from creating crypto assets. It is co-sponsored by Schumer and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., who is also a co-sponsor of the GENIUS Act.

D-Ore。Sens。JeffMerkley和D-Mass。计划在周三介绍一项法案，该法案将禁止总统，副总统，国会议员及其家人创建加密资产。它由舒默（Schumer）和参议员Kirsten Gillibrand（DN.Y.）共同赞助，他们也是《天才法案》（Genius Act）的共同赞助者。

"This is not a situation where somebody is passing a few thousand dollars under the table as a bribe. This is a situation where - on the table, in full view of the public - the president is selling access to his office," Merkley told USA TODAY. "If we're going to have any credibility in working for the people, we have to end this vastly corrupt enterprise the president's engaged in."

默克利对《今日美国》说：“在这种情况下，有人在桌子底下经过数千美元作为贿赂。在这种情况下 - 总统在公众面前，总统正在出售通往他的办公室的情况。” “如果我们在为人民工作方面有任何信誉，我们必须结束这一极大的腐败企业，总统参与了这一企业。”

While Democrats remain the minority in both the House and Senate, the filibuster gives Democrats some leverage over legislation's fate in the upper chamber.

尽管民主党人仍然是众议院和参议院的少数派，但对民主党人在上议院的立法命运方面给民主党人带来了一些影响。

White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said in a statement that Trump is "dedicated to making America the crypto capital of the world."

白宫女发言人安娜·凯利（Anna Kelly）在一份声明中说，特朗普“致力于使美国成为世界的加密之都”。

"His assets are in a trust managed by his children, and there are no conflicts of interest," she said.

她说：“他的资产是由他的孩子管理的信托，没有利益冲突。”

It's not just Democrats who have raised concerns about the crypto legislation in the Senate. Sens. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., John Kennedy, R-La., and Rand Paul, R-Ky., said this week that they're not sure if they can support the GENIUS Act.

不仅是民主党人对参议院的加密立法表示关注。 Sens。JoshHawley，R-Mo。，R-La。的John Kennedy和R-Ky。的Rand Paul。本周说，他们不确定他们是否可以支持《天才法》。

该立法的主要赞助商R-Tenn参议员比尔·哈格蒂（Bill Hagerty）表示，他正在与民主党进行谈判，以获得对该法案的支持。经过几个月的工作，他说：“我们非常接近一切，我
