More than half of the major holders of Trump Meme Coin are from foreign trading platforms that claim to ban American users, indicating that many buyers are from outside the United States.

特朗普模因硬币的主要持有人中，有一半以上来自声称禁止美国用户的外国交易平台，这表明许多买家来自美国以外。

Trump is a cryptocurrency that President Trump began promoting just days before Inauguration Day. Sales of Trump tokens have surged in the past two weeks following an unprecedented promotion: More than 200 of the largest token holders will be invited to a May 22 dinner at Trump’s Virginia golf club, while the top 25 holders will be eligible for an exclusive pre-dinner reception and what the Trump Token website describes as a “VIP” tour.

特朗普是特朗普总统在就职日前几天开始促进的加密货币。在史无前例的促销活动之后，在过去的两个星期中，特朗普代币的销售额激增：将邀请200多个最大的代币持有人参加在特朗普的弗吉尼亚州弗吉尼亚高尔夫俱乐部举行的5月22日晚餐，而前25名持有人将有资格获得独家餐具前的招待会以及特朗普·特朗普（Trump Tokn）的网站的独家网站。

Now, a Bloomberg News analysis shows that all but six of the top 25 holders registered on the site’s leaderboard used foreign exchanges that claimed not to accept U.S. residents. At least 56% of the top 220 holders on the list used similar offshore exchanges. The prevalence of these potential foreign buyers echoes congressional Democrats’ concerns about the ethics of promoting tokens with the promise of access to the president. It also raises questions about how the promotional dinner attendees, whose public identities can be linked only to a username consisting of a few letters, will be vetted.

现在，彭博新闻分析表明，该网站排行榜上注册的前25名持有人中的六个以外的所有外国交易所都声称不接受美国居民。列表中排名前220个持有人中至少有56％使用了类似的海上交易所。这些潜在的外国买家的普遍性与国会民主党人对促进令牌的道德规范的关注，并有望与总统接触。它还提出了疑问，即如何将促销晚宴的参与者（只能将公众身份与包括几个信件组成的用户名相关联）将被审查。

Most of the Trump Token holders may be outside the United States

大多数特朗普代币持有人可能在美国以外

The value of tokens currently held by the 220 cryptocurrency wallets registered on the TRUMP leaderboard (by where the wallet holders are likely to be located). 76% of the value of tokens held in the top 220 wallets may belong to foreign owners because these wallets use trading platforms that are not available to US residents. Data source: Bloomberg analysis of SolScan data. (Note: Data as of 10 am EST on May 5. Usernames are listed on the TRUMP token website and are set by wallet holders when they register for the dinner promotion. One wallet that is still in the top 25 of the leaderboard website is not listed here because it sold almost all of its tokens on May 3)

当前在特朗普排行榜上注册的220个加密货币钱包持有的代币的价值（在钱包持有人可能会找到的地方）。在前220个钱包中拥有的代币价值的76％可能属于外国所有者，因为这些钱包使用了美国居民无法使用的交易平台。数据来源：彭博社分析Solscan数据。 （注意：截至5月5日美国东部时间上午10点的数据。用户名在特朗普代币网站上列出，并由钱包持有者注册以进行晚餐促销时设置。一个仍然在排行榜网站的前25位的钱包未列出此处，因为它几乎在5月3日出售了所有代币）

In the fine print on the website, organizers say attendees must pass a background check. “We will also review your wallet for KYC and compliance purposes,” the website reads. “You will be having dinner with the President of the United States!” But the website does not explain how such a review will be conducted.

在网站上的精美印刷品中，组织者说，与会者必须通过背景调查。网站上写道：“我们还将出于KYC和合规目的查看您的钱包。” “您将与美国总统共进晚餐！”但是该网站没有解释如何进行此类审查。

Promoters of the TRUMP token did not respond to requests for comment, nor did White House officials.

特朗普代币的发起人没有回应置评请求，白宫官员也没有回应。

In order to appear on the dinner leaderboard, people who bought TRUMP coins must register on its website, which says it will rank them based on the number of tokens they hold and how long they have been held. Many large holders have not yet registered. But another analysis by Bloomberg of all the largest buyers (whether on the leaderboard or not) shows that more than half of this broader group of buyers are also from foreign trading platforms.

为了出现在晚餐排行榜上，购买了特朗普硬币的人必须在其网站上注册，该网站表示将根据其持有的代币数量以及持有的时间进行排名。许多大型持有人尚未注册。但是，彭博社对所有最大的买家（无论是否在排行榜上）进行了另一项分析表明，这一广泛的买家中有一半以上也来自外国交易平台。

It’s possible that some U.S. buyers have found ways to get around the ban by using foreign exchanges, such as using virtual private networks (VPNs) to hide U.S. IP addresses. Most exchanges said they took steps, such as collecting personal information from users, to try to prevent such circumvention. The three foreign exchanges most commonly used by big TRUMP token holders to fund their accounts or buy TRUMP coins are Binance, Bybit and OOEX, all of which have imposed restrictions on U.S. users. Bloomberg’s analysis found that six holders on the TRUMP token leaderboard made purchases on OOEX before it launched its trading platform in the U.S. on April 15. A spokesperson for OOEX said the company had not allowed U.S. residents to make purchases before then. Representatives for Binance and Bybit did not respond to requests for comment.

一些美国买家可能通过使用外国交易所找到解决禁令的方法，例如使用虚拟专用网络（VPN）隐藏我们的IP地址。大多数交流表示，他们采取了步骤，例如从用户那里收集个人信息，以防止这种规避。大特朗普代币持有人最常用的三项外交交流是为他们的帐户提供资金或购买特朗普硬币的三项外国交流是binance，bybit和ooex，所有这些都对美国用户施加了限制。彭博社的分析发现，特朗普令牌排行榜上的六个持有人在4月15日在美国启动其交易平台之前就在OOEX上进行了购买。OOEX的一位发言人表示，该公司在此之前不允许美国居民进行购买。 Binance和Bybit的代表没有回应置评请求。

Two of the three trading platforms have previously violated US law. In November 2023, Binance pleaded guilty to violating federal anti-money laundering and sanctions laws due to poor internal controls and paid more than $4 billion to the United States. Ouyi pleaded guilty to anti-money laundering violations in February and paid more than $420 million.

三个交易平台中的两个以前违反了美国法律。在2023年11月，Binance因内部控制不佳而违反联邦反洗钱和制裁法违反了联邦反洗钱和制裁法，并向美国支付了超过40亿美元。 Ouyi在2月对反洗钱违规行为认罪，并支付了超过4.2亿美元。

This is not the first time that a Trump-related cryptocurrency project has attracted a large number of foreign investors.

这并不是第一次与特朗普相关的加密货币项目吸引大量外国投资者。

Justin Sun, a Hong Kong-based cryptocurrency entrepreneur, became an advisor to the project after announcing he had purchased tens of millions of dollars worth of tokens of World Liberty Financial (WLF), another cryptocurrency project promoted by the Trump family. Sun said at the time that he did not expect to receive any benefits from Trump for the investment. Sun may also be a major holder of TRUMP tokens, according to a Bloomberg analysis of cryptocurrency wallet transactions.

贾斯汀·孙（Justin Sun）是一位总部位于香港的加密货币企业家，在宣布他购买了价值数千万美元的世界自由金融（WLF）代币后，成为该项目的顾问，这是特朗普家族促进的另一个加密货币项目。孙当时说，他没想到会从特朗普那里获得任何收益。根据对加密货币钱包交易的彭博社分析，太阳也可能是特朗普代币的主要持有人。
