世界上最富有的加密货币交易者聚集在星期四晚上

Dozens of the world’s wealthiest cryptocurrency traders converged Thursday night for an exclusive black-tie dinner with President Donald Trump following a months-long contest that drew $148 million in global purchases and fierce backlash from Democratic lawmakers.

在一场长达数月的比赛中，全球最富有的加密货币交易者在周四晚上与总统唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）共进晚餐，这是一场长达数月的竞赛，这一比赛吸引了1.48亿美元的全球购买，并从民主党立法者那里获得了强烈反对。

The event, held at Trump National Golf Club in Potomac Falls, Virginia, brought together the top 220 holders of the $TRUMP token for a final meal with the president ahead of his departure from the White House. It marked an unprecedented combination of politics and crypto, as Trump’s campaign auctioned off a seat at the dinner table with the sitting president to the highest bidders of the token.

该活动在弗吉尼亚州波托马克瀑布的特朗普国家高尔夫俱乐部举行，将$特朗普代币的前220名持有人汇集在一起​​，在他离开白宫之前，与总统一起与总统一起进行了一顿美餐。它标志着政治和加密货币的前所未有的组合，特朗普的竞选活动在餐桌上拍卖了，现任总统与代币的最高投标者一样。

“It’s the most exclusive invitation in the world,” the campaign stated in a recent press release.

该运动在最近的新闻稿中说：“这是世界上最独特的邀请。”

The dinner brought to a close a unique chapter in Trump’s political legacy, merging his political might with the decentralized realm of blockchain technology. The initiative began earlier this year with the launch of the $TRUMP token, a spinoff of the popular $PEPE token, on the TRON network. The tokens, which sold for fractions of a cent, were briskly traded by a vast retail army, generating billions of dollars in trading volume over several months.

晚餐使特朗普的政治遗产结束了一个独特的章节，将他的政治意愿与区块链技术的分散领域融合在一起。该计划始于今年早些时候，随着Tron Network上流行的$ PEPE代币的衍生产品的推出。代币以百分之一的分数出售，由一支庞大的零售部队轻快地交易，在几个月内产生了数十亿美元的交易量。

The contest’s structure prioritized early buyers over larger late-stage investors. Notably, some U.S. participants failed to secure a spot despite sizable contributions. Houston-based Freight Technologies, for example, invested $2 million in $TRUMP but was placed 250th, falling outside of the cutoff for the dinner.

比赛的结构优先考虑早期买家，而不是更大的后期投资者。值得注意的是，尽管有相当大的贡献，但一些美国参与者仍未获得席位。例如，总部位于休斯顿的货运技术向特朗普投资了200万美元，但被排名第250，落在晚餐的临界范围之外。

The event also drew criticism on Capitol Hill, particularly from Democrats, who say the dinner is a glaring example of “pay-to-play” politics.

该活动还引起了国会山的批评，特别是民主党人，他们说晚餐是“付费”政治的一个明显的例子。

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) called the gathering “an orgy of corruption,” accusing Trump of using the presidency as a platform to enrich himself.

参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦（D-Mass。

“Instead of accepting donations like any other president, Trump is auctioning off his influence through a token—inviting the highest bidders to an exclusive dinner in a final, desperate attempt to fill his own pockets,” Warren said in a press release.

沃伦在新闻稿中说：“特朗普没有像其他总统那样接受捐款，而是通过代币拍卖自己的影响力，这是在最后一次拼命的试图填补自己的口袋的决赛中，最高的投标人参加独家晚宴。”

Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.)—who introduced legislation this week that would ban sitting presidents from profitering off meme coins while in office—said the administration is engaging in "a tale of corruption."

参议员克里斯·墨菲（Chris Murphy）（D-Conn。）本周提出了立法，该立法将禁止现任总统在任职期间授予Meme Coins，并表示政府正在进行“腐败故事”。

“Just because the corruption is happening out in the open doesn’t make it any less corrosive,” Murphy said during a Thursday press conference. “This may be the most corrupt event of all.”

墨菲在周四的新闻发布会上说：“仅仅因为腐败正在公开发生，这并没有使它变得腐蚀。” “这可能是所有事件中最腐败的事件。”

The White House, for its part, rejected these claims.

白宫就拒绝了这些主张。

“The president is working to secure good deals for the American people, not for himself. And he only acts in the best interest of the American public,” said deputy press secretary Anna Kelly.

副新闻秘书安娜·凯利（Anna Kelly）说：“总统正在努力为美国人民确定良好的交易。他只符合美国公众的最大利益。”

The $TRUMP token itself began as a spinoff of the $PEPE token, merging the meme coin frenzy with Trump’s political persona. The tokens, launched ahead of Trump’s January inauguration, quickly rocketed to a $15 billion market cap before reducing to its current valuation of around $2.1 billion.

$ trump代币本身始于$ pepe代币的衍生产品，将模因硬币狂潮与特朗普的政治角色融合在一起。代币在特朗普1月的就职典礼之前推出，迅速升至150亿美元的市值，然后降低到目前的估值约为21亿美元。

Despite the volatility, insiders have profited handsomely. Chainalysis estimates more than $5.2 billion in profits went to top wallets, while over 590,000 retail traders collectively lost nearly $4 billion.

尽管有波动性，但内部人士仍然获得了丰厚的利润。 Chainalysis估计，超过52亿美元的利润进入了顶级钱包，而超过590,000个零售商人共同损失了近40亿美元。

The token’s smart contract design also siphons a fee from every trade, which goes to wallets tied to the project team—reportedly including entities within the Trump Organization—allowing them to profit from daily trading activity. According to Inca Digital, 75% of all proceeds from Trump’s broader crypto venture, World Liberty Financial, have gone directly to the Trump family and affiliated entities.

代币的智能合同设计还从每项交易中汲取了费用，这是与项目团队相关的钱包（票据报道），包括包括特朗普组织内的实体，使他们从日常交易活动中获利。根据印加数字数字，特朗普更广泛的加密货币企业世界自由金融的所有收益中有75％直接转移到了特朗普家族和附属实体上。

One notable guest at the dinner is Justin Sun, the Chinese-born founder of the TRON blockchain, who has publicly stated his intention to attend the event. Sun, a top-ranking holder of $TRUMP, claims his investment in the token totals more than $20 million. He was also an early backer of the Trump family’s WLFI token, contributing $75 million.

晚餐时有一位著名的客人是Tron区块链的中国出生的创始人贾斯汀·孙（Justin Sun），他公开表示打算参加该活动。特朗普$ $的最高持有人太阳声称他对代币的投资超过2000万美元。他还是特朗普家族WLFI代币的早期支持者，贡献了7500万美元。

However, Sun remains under federal investigation in the U.S. for alleged securities fraud, according to a recent report by The New York Times. The investigation, which began in 2021, focuses on whether Sun’s TRON foundation engaged in an initial coin offering (ICO) without proper registration, potentially violating U.S. securities law.

然而，根据《纽约时报》的最新报告，太阳仍在美国因涉​​嫌证券欺诈而受到联邦调查。该调查始于2021年，重点是Sun的Tron Foundation是否在没有适当注册的情况下从事初始硬币产品（ICO），可能违反了美国证券法。
