民主党参议员克里斯·墨菲（Chris Murphy）向律师法案介绍了律师协会和立法者发起加密货币的法案

民主党康涅狄格州参议员克里斯·墨菲（Chris Murphy）周二提出了一项法案，该法案周二向律师协会总统和立法者推出加密货币，这是直接针对唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）总统进入数字资产领域的。

Democratic Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy introduced a bill Tuesday to bar presidents and lawmakers from launching cryptocurrencies, aimed squarely at President Donald Trump’s inroads into the digital asset space.

民主党康涅狄格州参议员克里斯·墨菲（Chris Murphy）周二提出了一项法案，该法案周二向律师协会总统和立法者推出加密货币，这是直接针对唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）总统进入数字资产领域的。

The bill, dubbed the “Modern Emoluments and Malfeasance Enforcement” — or MEME — Act, would prohibit federal officials from creating or promoting cryptocurrencies with “joke” branding, a direct shot at Trump’s rollout of a satirical meme coin. The measure is meant to prevent a situation where “very powerful, very rich people [are] able to send money” to federal officials, Murphy said.

该法案被称为“现代梅尔和渎职执法”或模因，将禁止联邦官员以“笑话”品牌创建或促进加密货币，这是特朗普推出讽刺性模因硬币的直接镜头。墨菲说，该措施旨在防止“非常强大，非常有钱的人能够向联邦官员汇款”的情况。 （相关：集会后48小时，由于关税生效48小时）

“Trump’s meme coin — it’s the most unethical, the most corrupt thing a president of the United States has ever done,” Murphy said. “It’s essentially a way for any corporate CEO, any Saudi prince, any foreign oligarch who has business before the Trump administration to send Trump money privately, secretly, and then whisper to the Trump administration about how much money they’ve sent and the favor that they need.”

墨菲说：“特朗普的模因硬币 - 这是美国总统有史以来最不道德，最腐败的事情。” “对于任何公司首席执行官，任何沙特王子，任何外国寡头在特朗普政府面前开展业务，私下向特朗普派遣钱，然后向特朗普政府低声介绍他们寄出了多少钱和所需的恩宠。”

Today I’m introducing a bill – the MEME Act – to ban a President or Member of Congress from issuing a meme coin.

今天，我正在介绍一项法案 - 《模因法》，以禁止或国会议员发行模因硬币。

The measure builds on a provision in the 1978 Federal Ethics and Government Accountability Act, which prohibits presidents, vice presidents, members of Congress, judges and candidates for those offices from accepting anything of value from foreign officials, a limitation that does not apply to the officials’ spouses or children.

该措施是建立在1978年《联邦道德与政府责任法》中的一项规定的基础上的，该法案禁止总统，副总统，国会议员，法官和候选人为那些办公室接受任何有价值的外国官员的任何价值，这一限制不适用于官员的配偶或儿童。

The Trump administration was hit with several legal complaints over the president’s handling of his family business, culminating in a 2020 Supreme Court ruling that allowed a New York state prosecutor to proceed with an investigation into Trump administration officials for alleged campaign finance violations.

特朗普政府对总统处理其家族企业的几项法律投诉，最终在2020年最高法院的一项裁决中达到了最高指控，该裁决允许一名纽约州检察官因涉嫌违反竞选财务而对特朗普政府官员进行调查。

After Trump announced plans for a January 2024 gala with the top 220 $TRUMP token holders, administration officials said the event would violate campaign finance regulations. The event was later postponed until May 22.

在特朗普宣布了2024年1月的联欢晚会的计划和前220美元的特朗普持有人的计划之后，政府官员表示，该活动将违反竞选财务法规。该活动后来被推迟到5月22日。

The $TRUMP coin, which is based on the TRON blockchain, began trading in January at a price of $0.10 and reached a high of $24 in April, according to CoinGecko. At press time Tuesday, the coin was trading at around $12. Chainalysis estimates entities linked to the president have earned at least $320 million from the project, Axios reported.

据Coingecko称，这款$特朗普硬币是基于Tron区块链的，一月份开始以0.10美元的价格进行交易，并于4月达到24美元。周二发稿时，硬币的交易价格约为12美元。据Axios报道，与总统有关的链分析估计实体从该项目中获得了至少3.2亿美元的收入。

The MEME Act defines a meme coin broadly as any digital asset sold for remuneration, placing it alongside securities, commodities and NFTs as a “covered asset.” In addition to presidents and lawmakers, the prohibition would extend 180 days before and after an official’s tenure and apply to spouses, dependent children and senior military officers at the rank of O-7 or higher. Civil suits could be filed by the Justice Department or by private parties “suffering harm,” according to the bill’s text.

《模因法》将模因硬币广泛定义为任何用于报酬的数字资产，并将其与证券，商品和NFT一起放置为“覆盖资产”。除总统和立法者外，该禁令将在官员任期前和之后的180天延长，并申请O-7或更高职位的配偶，受抚养子女和高级军官。根据该法案的案文，司法部可以提起民事诉讼或私人各方“遭受损害”。

“This bill is a chance for Republicans and Democrats to come together and say that none of us — no member of the executive branch, no member of Congress — should be able to profit off of their position,” Murphy said.

墨菲说：“这项法案是共和党和民主党人聚集在一起的机会，说我们没有一个人 - 行政部门的成员，没有国会议员 - 不应能够从他们的立场上获利。”

The House Financial Services Democrats, led by California Rep. Maxine Waters, cancelled a scheduled joint hearing Tuesday to hold a Democrats-only hearing examining Trump’s coin.

由加利福尼亚州众议员麦克辛·沃特斯（Maxine Waters）领导的众议院金融服务民主党周二取消了一次预定的联合听证会，以举行仅民主党的听证会，以审查特朗普的硬币。

“President Trump’s decision to launch his own meme coin in an attempt to profit off the presidency is the pinnacle of corruption,” Waters said in prepared remarks. “It’s no coincidence that the same administration that rolled back critical anticorruption measures is now shutting down bipartisan efforts to create a framework for stablecoins.”

沃特斯在准备的讲话中说：“特朗普总统决定发起自己的模因硬币以谋取总统职位是腐败的巅峰之作。” “与重大反腐败措施相同的政府现在正在关闭两党为制定稳定的框架的努力，这并非偶然。”

The meme coin's backers had previously announced plans for a May 22 gala dinner with Trump in Washington, D.C., but the event was later postponed.

Meme Coin的支持者此前曾宣布了5月22日在华盛顿特朗普举行的晚宴的计划，但此次活动后来被推迟了。

The bill also includes provisions to expand the definition of emoluments to include any benefit, gift, pay, compensation or reward, and to permit the Justice Department to pursue civil actions for emoluments violations.

该法案还包括扩大艾尔将定义的规定，包括任何福利，礼物，薪水，薪酬或奖励，并允许司法部对违规行为采取民事诉讼。

The bill, which is co-sponsored by Democratic New Jersey Rep. Josh Liccardo, comes as bipartisan negotiations over a stablecoin framework have stalled. Democratic leaders have urged members to withhold support until stronger conflict-of-interest protections are added.

该法案是由民主党新泽西州众议员乔什·利卡多（Josh Liccardo）共同提出的，是因为关于稳定框架的两党谈判陷入了停滞。民主党领导人已敦促成员扣留支持，直到增加更强的利益冲突保护为止。
