唐纳德·特朗普总统在全球加密货币业务中的个人和政府利益之间的摩擦

模因子值与受欢迎程度和炒作有关。他的“硬币”和他的妻子梅拉尼亚的另一位币在一月份上任时被介绍。

The friction between President Donald Trump’s personal and governmental interests in the global cryptocurrency business is creating a corrupt and fiscally dangerous swamp of its own.

唐纳德·特朗普总统在全球加密货币业务中的个人和政府利益之间的摩擦正在造成腐败且在财政上危险的沼泽。

On Thursday, he is hosting a dinner at his Virginia golf club exclusively for the biggest holders of his memecoin, $TRUMP. Memecoin values are tied to popularity and hype. His "coin" and another from his wife Melania were introduced in January as he was taking office. The $TRUMP venture had an initial market value of $15 billion, then plunged. But after the dinner invite was announced, prices rose again.

周四，他将在他的弗吉尼亚高尔夫俱乐部举办晚宴，专门为他的成员$特朗普的最大持有人举办晚宴。模因子值与受欢迎程度和炒作有关。他的“硬币”和他的妻子梅拉尼亚的另一位币在一月份上任时被介绍。特朗普风险投资的初始市场价值为150亿美元，然后下跌。但是在宣布晚餐邀请后，价格再次上涨。

Many of the top 220 guests will be anonymous because the seats are paid for through crypto "wallets," a great number presumed to be from overseas. The Trump family business and a Delaware LLC reportedly own 80% of the token’s supply.

前220位客人中有许多将是匿名的，因为座位是通过加密“钱包”支付的，这是一个大量的数字，假定来自海外。据报道，特朗普家族企业和特拉华州有限责任公司拥有代币供应的80％。

Trump’s conflicted role in the burgeoning crypto trade goes disturbingly far. World Liberty Financial, in which Trump’s three sons are involved, is going into stablecoins. That’s an electronic product tied — less subjectively than memecoins — to the value of the dollar.

特朗普在新兴的加密贸易中的矛盾作用越来越令人不安。特朗普的三个儿子涉及的世界自由金融将进入稳定的人。这是一种电子产品，比起纪念性的产品不太主观 - 与美元的价值相关。

Trump family representatives have discussed investing in the U.S. operation of Binance, the world’s biggest crypto exchange. What's unsettling is that Binance’s owner, Changpeng Zhao, pleaded guilty in 2023 to violating a U.S. anti-money laundering law. Now, Zhao is applying for a presidential pardon.

特朗普家庭代表讨​​论了对全球最大加密交易所Binance的投资。令人不安的是，Binance的所有者Changpeng Zhao在2023年认罪，违反了美国反洗钱法。现在，赵正在申请总统赦免。

Seamier yet, an Abu Dhabi investment firm reportedly is using the Trump-tied World Liberty’s crypto currency to invest $2 billion in Zhao’s Binance exchange. Zhao last year met with Zach Witkoff in Abu Dhabi. Witkoff is a World Liberty co-founder — and son of Steve Witkoff, Trump’s special Mideast envoy, a clear conflict of its own.

据报道，阿布扎比投资公司的Seamier正在使用特朗普世界自由的加密货币投资20亿美元，以投资20亿美元。去年赵在阿布扎比会见了扎克·维托克夫（Zach Witkoff）。维科夫（Witkoff）是世界自由联合创始人，也是特朗普特别中东特使史蒂夫·维科夫（Steve Witkoff）的儿子，这是一个明显的冲突。

Trump’s crypto involvement is so entangled that it’s even hard for nonspecialists to absorb. It’s much easier to comprehend tangible grift like Trump accepting a $400 million luxury jet from Qatar or partnering his family business with that nation's state-owned real estate firm.

特朗普的加密参与是如此纠结，以至于非专业人士很难吸收。理解有形的人要容易得多，例如特朗普接受卡塔尔的4亿美元豪华喷气机，或与该国的国有房地产公司合作。罗克维尔中心的现任披萨切片

Most ominously, Trump gets to influence the shape and conduct of an international industry, in which he has grabbed a stake. Venture capitalist David Sacks became his crypto policy "czar" having raised millions of dollars for a Trump-aligned super PAC.

最不祥的是，特朗普会影响国际产业的形态和行为，他抓住了股份。风险资本家戴维·萨克斯（David Sacks）成为他的加密政策“沙皇”，为特朗普一致的超级PAC筹集了数百万美元。

Potential abuses don’t get any bigger than controlling to your benefit a lucrative industry that was specifically created to safeguard transactional secrecy.

潜在的虐待行为没有比控制您的利益的利益行业更大的，该行业是专门为维护交易保密而创建的。

Worst of all, if crypto isn’t properly controlled, experts say, it threatens to subvert the stability of the dollar. Congress has begun pushing through legislation to set ground rules. But lawmakers must investigate and respond to the sordid facts already on the ground involving Trump & Co.

专家说，最糟糕的是，如果加密货币没有得到适当控制，它可能会颠覆美元的稳定性。国会已开始推动立法制定基本规则。但是，立法者必须调查并回应涉及特朗普＆Co的现场事实的肮脏事实。

It’s just one more way Trump’s norm-busting voraciousness to enrich himself must be contained where possible by Congress and the courts. Otherwise, in this case, the fiscal risks to the nation are huge.

这只是国会和法院在可能的情况下，必须将特朗普的顽强狂热狂欢富裕。否则，在这种情况下，国家的财政风险是巨大的。
