监视下的加密货币：民主党要求问责制

唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）的加密货币项目正在引起美国民主党议员的严重关注。

American Democratic lawmakers are raising serious concerns about the cryptocurrency projects of Donald Trump.

美国民主党立法者对唐纳德·特朗普的加密货币项目产生了严重的关注。

The TRUMP meme coin and World Liberty Financial are now at the center of a House investigation. Democrats are demanding Treasury reports on possible corruption, influence-peddling, and illegal fundraising tied to Trump’s growing crypto empire.

特朗普模因硬币和世界自由金融现在是众议院调查的中心。民主党人要求国库报告可能与特朗普日益增长的加密帝国有关的可能的腐败，影响力和非法筹款。

Indeed, three Democratic lawmakers, including Representative Maxine Waters, sent the letter to the Department of the Treasury on May 10, 2025.

的确，包括代表马克辛·沃特斯（Maxine Waters）在内的三名民主党议员于2025年5月10日向财政部发了信。

The full content of the letter is available on the House of Representatives website.

这封信的全部内容可在众议院网站上找到。

In the letter, Maxine Waters, along with Representatives Stephen Lynch and Robert Garcia, expressed their concern over the lack of transparency in the TRUMP meme coin project, World Liberty Financial's activities, and the WinRed platform.

在信中，麦克辛·沃特斯（Maxine Waters）以及代表斯蒂芬·林奇（Stephen Lynch）和罗伯特·加西亚（Robert Garcia）对特朗普模因硬币项目，世界自由金融的活动和胜利平台缺乏透明度表示关注。

The lawmakers requested access to all Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) related to these entities, as well as to several pro-Trump crypto personalities.

立法者要求访问与这些实体有关的所有可疑活动报告（SARS）以及几种亲特朗普加密性格。

They aim to determine whether legislation is necessary to prevent such abuses.

他们旨在确定是否需要立法来防止这种滥用。

The intertwining of the crypto world and the political sphere is not new. However, the Trump-crypto affair sheds light on the potential risks, especially during election periods. Memecoins like TRUMP Coin, often seen as insignificant, can thus become instruments of lobbying or irregular financing.

加密世界和政治领域的交织并不是什么新鲜事。但是，特朗普 - 瑞典公司（Trump-Crypto）的恋情阐明了潜在的风险，尤其是在选举期间。因此，像特朗普硬币这样的纪念物（通常被视为微不足道）可以成为游说或不规则融资的工具。

This situation also raises concerns among European Union authorities. The MiCA regulation, set to take effect in 2025, already aims to regulate token issuances by political entities. Similar initiatives to those of American Democrats could prompt authorities to enhance their monitoring of cryptocurrencies used for influencing purposes.

这种情况也引起了欧盟当局的关注。将于2025年生效的云母法规已经旨在调节政治实体的代币发行。与美国民主党人的类似举措类似，可以促使当局加强对用于影响目的的加密货币的监控。

Additionally, suspicions have been raised about a Chinese company linked to TikTok that bought $300 million worth of $TRUMP Coin, raising questions about potential influence on American politics, especially regarding TikTok's status in the United States.

此外，人们对一家与Tiktok有联系的中国公司提出了怀疑，该公司购买了价值3亿美元的特朗普硬币，引发了有关对美国政治潜在影响的疑问，尤其是关于Tiktok在美国的地位。

According to a Chainalysis report (2024), cryptocurrency flows related to political campaigns have increased by 300% since 2020, posing challenges to regulators.

根据链条分析报告（2024），自2020年以来，与政治运动相关的加密货币流量增加了300％，对监管机构构成了挑战。

“Politicized cryptos blur the lines between financial innovation and propaganda,” notes blockchain analyst Sarah Johnson.

区块链分析师莎拉·约翰逊（Sarah Johnson）指出：“政治化加密货币模糊了金融创新与宣传之间的界限。”

The investigation into Donald Trump’s crypto activities marks a pivotal step in the quest for transparency and integrity in the Web3 ecosystem. Beyond purely political issues, this episode highlights the crucial importance for the industry to self-regulate and comply with regulatory requirements.

对唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）的加密活动的调查标志着Web3生态系统中寻求透明度和完整性的关键步骤。除了纯粹的政治问题外，这一集还强调了该行业自我调节和遵守监管要求至关重要的重要性。

The Trump investigation represents a turning point in the transparency quest of Web3. It underscores the urgency for the industry to self-regulate to maintain the trust of investors and authorities. “An ethical blockchain is the only way for sustainable adoption,” affirms Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum. Industry players must adopt transparent and compliant practices to prevent innovation from being tarnished by political or financial misconduct.

特朗普的调查代表了Web3透明度追求的一个转折点。它强调了该行业自我调节以维持投资者和当局的信任的紧迫性。以太坊联合创始人Vitalik Buterin肯定说：“道德区块链是可持续采用的唯一途径。”行业参与者必须采取透明和合规的做法，以防止创新受到政治或金融不当行为的损害。
