民主党人要求有关特朗普家族的加密货币的更多信息，部分由第一家族拥有

一场文字战争正在参议院民主党人与加密货币公司的高管之间升级，该公司部分由特朗普总统的家人拥有

A war of words is escalating between Senate Democrats and executives at the crypto firm that is partly owned by President Trump’s family, as congressional leaders are seeking more information about ways in which the first family may be blending profit with official government action, CBS News has learned.

CBS News获悉，一场由特朗普总统家人部分拥有的加密货币公司的参议院民主党人与高管之间的一场语言正在升级，因为国会领导人正在寻求更多有关第一个家庭可能将利润与官方政府行动融合利润的方式的信息，CBS News获悉。

In an exchange of polite but pointed letters, Senate Democrats demanded more details about a multibillion-dollar transaction between the Trump family’s crypto venture, World Liberty Financial, and a pool of investors that includes foreign nationals. And the senators questioned the firm on its launch of a “stablecoin,” a crypto product backed directly by U.S. currency.

在交换礼貌但尖锐的信件时，参议院民主党人要求更多有关特朗普家族的加密货币合资企业，世界自由金融和包括外国国民在内的投资者之间的数十亿美元交易的细节。参议员质疑该公司的推出“ Stablecoin”，这是一种直接以美国货币为支持的加密产品。

“The launch of a stablecoin directly tied to a sitting President who stands to benefit financially from the stablecoin’s success is an unprecedented conflict of interest presenting significant threats to both our financial system and our democracy,” Senators Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Jeff Merkley of Oregon write in the June 10 letter.

马萨诸塞州和俄勒冈州的杰夫·梅克利（Jeff Merkley）在6月10日的几封信中写道：“直接与现任总统直接与现任总统相关的稳定的稳定者是一场前所未有的利益冲突。”

The increased attention comes as the Senate is set to vote on the GENIUS Act, which would adopt a federal regulatory framework for stablecoins. Stablecoins, which are pegged to a certain value — typically the U.S. dollar — are designed to be less volatile than other crypto products. This makes it an attractive asset for users who want to move between cryptocurrencies more efficiently.

越来越多的关注是因为参议院将对《天才法》进行投票，该法案将采用联邦监管框架。固定型的固定蛋白固定在一定价值（通常为美元）上，其设计性比其他加密产品挥发性少。对于想要在加密货币之间移动的用户来说，这使其成为有吸引力的资产。

Earlier this year, the Senate Banking Committee approved legislation that would transfer authority over stablecoins from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Stablecoins are a key topic of discussion this year due to the rapid growth of the industry and concerns about whether existing financial regulations adequately cover these new products.

今年早些时候，参议院银行委员会批准了立法，该立法将将稳定币的权力从美国证券交易委员会转移到货币审计长办公室。由于行业的迅速增长，并且担心现有的金融法规是否充分涵盖了这些新产品，因此Stablecoins是今年讨论的关键主题。

After months of debate, the House of Representatives approved a bill in April that would create a licensing requirement for stablecoin issuers and mandate that these products be fully backed by U.S. dollars or Treasury bonds.

经过几个月的辩论，众议院在四月份批准了一项法案，该法案将对Stablecoin发行人制定许可要求，并要求这些产品得到美元或财政部债券的完全支持。

Both the House bill and an earlier version of the Senate bill would also limit a president, the president’s family members and other government officials from holding any direct or indirect interest in a stablecoin issuer. This amendment was proposed by Sen. Merkley and broadly supported by Senate Democrats. However, it was later removed from the bill as part of a broader effort to secure more bipartisan support for the legislation.

众议院法案和参议院法案的较早版本也将限制总统，总统的家庭成员和其他政府官员对Stablecoin发行人的任何直接或间接利益。这项修正案是由参议员默克利提出的，并得到了参议院民主党的广泛支持。但是，后来将其从该法案中删除，这是为了获得对立法的更多两党支持的更广泛努力的一部分。

“We were successful in getting bipartisan support to prevent a president or their family members from having any financial interest in a stablecoin. But ultimately, the GOP leadership pulled that amendment and we did not have the votes to include it in the final bill,” a spokesperson for Sen. Merkley told CBS News.

参议员默克利（Merkley）的发言人告诉CBS新闻。

The senators’ letter requests financial records related to the $2 billion investment in World Liberty made by MGX, an Emirati firm, and the involvement in the business deal by Binance, one of the world’s largest crypto exchanges, controlled by a Singaporian national.

参议员的信提出了与阿联酋公司MGX对世界自由投资的20亿美元投资有关的财务记录，以及由Binance（由全球最大的加密货币交易所之一，由新加坡国民控制）的商业交易。

The letter is addressed to the CEOs of Binance and MGX, and it asks these firms to preserve communications between Binance officials, MGX, World Liberty Financial, the White House and other U.S. federal government agencies. It also requests communications between specific individuals including President Trump, his sons Barron, Eric and Donald Jr.; Zack and Alex Witkoff, co-founders of World Liberty Financial, and their father Steve Witkoff, the president’s special envoy to the Middle East.

这封信给了Binance和MGX的首席执行官，并要求这些公司保留Binance官员，MGX，World Liberty Financial，白宫和其他美国联邦政府机构之间的通信。它还要求在包括特朗普总统，他的儿子巴伦，埃里克和小唐纳德在内的特定个人之间进行沟通；世界自由金融的联合创始人扎克（Zack）和亚历克斯·威特科夫（Alex Witkoff）以及他们的父亲史蒂夫·威特科夫（Steve Witkoff），总统在中东特别节目。

The senators’ request is in response to a letter sent by World Liberty on May 29, in which the company’s lawyers dispute allegations that MGX’s $2 billion investment into Binance through World Liberty Financial improperly benefits the Trump family.

参议员的要求是对5月29日世界自由寄出的一封信的回应，在该信中，该公司的律师争议指控，即MGX通过世界自由金融对特朗普家族的不当使MGX投资20亿美元投资。

“What the Company rejects is the suggestion that legitimate financial innovation—especially innovation that strengthens U.S. competitiveness—should be treated with suspicion simply because it succeeds,” says the letter from World Liberty’s lawyers, reviewed by CBS News.

“公司拒绝的是，合法的金融创新（尤其是增强美国竞争力的创新）的建议应仅仅因为它成功而受到怀疑。” CBS News审查了世界自由律师的信。

CBS News has reached out to the White House for comment about potential conflict of interest but did not hear back at the time of publication.

哥伦比亚广播公司的新闻已经与白宫有关潜在的利益冲突的评论，但在出版时没有回音。

Months later, they announced both the $TRUMP coin and $MELANIA coin, crypto tokens known as “meme coins,” whose value is largely driven by social media buzz. This type of cryptocurrency is not usually used in transactions and is known for erratic price shifts. $TRUMP peaked at around $75 shortly after launch and plummeted to under $8 by April 2025 before rebounding a bit to about $11.

几个月后，他们宣布了$ trump硬币和梅拉尼亚硬币，即加密代币，称为“模因硬币”，其价值在很大程度上是由社交媒体嗡嗡声驱动的。这种类型的加密货币通常不用于交易，并且以不稳定的价格变化而闻名。 $特朗普在推出后不久以$ 75的价格达到顶峰，到2025年4月下降到8美元以下，然后反弹至11美元左右。
