特朗普的新加密货币对投资者来说是一笔不公平的交易

首先，并不是任何人都可以购买 World Liberty Financial 发行的 WLFI 代币，特朗普是该公司的主要加密货币倡导者。

Former President Donald Trump is now the chief crypto advocate for a company called World Liberty Financial, which is offering a cryptocurrency called $WLFI tokens.

前总统唐纳德·特朗普现在是一家名为 World Liberty Financial 的公司的首席加密货币倡导者，该公司提供一种名为 $WLFI 代币的加密货币。

But there’s a catch: Only accredited investors can buy the coins, which are priced at 1.5 cents each and named after Trump himself. To qualify, investors generally must have a net worth of at least $1 million, not including the value of their home.

但有一个问题：只有经过认可的投资者才能购买这些硬币，每枚硬币的售价为 1.5 美分，并以特朗普本人的名字命名。要获得资格，投资者通常必须拥有至少 100 万美元的净资产，其中不包括房屋价值。

World Liberty is offering the tokens under a Regulation D exemption from having to register them with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The company says it doesn’t consider the tokens to be securities.

World Liberty 根据 D 条例提供代币，无需在美国证券交易委员会注册。该公司表示，它不认为这些代币是证券。

Accredited investors can’t sell the coins, either. ‘All $WLFI will be non-transferable and locked indefinitely in a wallet or smart contract,’ according to a document released by World Liberty on Thursday.

合格的投资者也不能出售这些代币。根据 World Liberty 周四发布的一份文件，“所有 WLFI 美元都将不可转让，并无限期锁定在钱包或智能合约中”。

In contrast, shares of Trump Media (DWAC) are changing hands constantly, contributing to the wild price fluctuations seen as recently as this past Tuesday. Shares dropped by as much as 16% in intraday trading, then surged to a 13% gain and finally closed down 10%.

相比之下，特朗普媒体公司（DWAC）的股票不断易手，导致上周二出现的剧烈价格波动。该股盘中一度下跌 16%，随后飙升 13%，最终收盘下跌 10%。

The 13-page “gold paper” about the WLFI token also reveals that while Trump has no ownership stake in World Liberty, 22.5 billion WLFI tokens and 75% of its revenue go to DT Marks DEFI LLC, a Delaware entity whose owners and principals include him. In exchange, they will promote World Liberty and grant rights to use their name, image, and likeness.

关于 WLFI 代币的 13 页“金皮书”还透露，虽然特朗普没有 World Liberty 的所有权，但 225 亿个 WLFI 代币及其 75% 的收入都归 DT Marks DEFI LLC 所有，这是一家特拉华州实体，其所有者和负责人包括他。作为交换，他们将促进世界自由并授予使用他们的姓名、形象和肖像的权利。

The paper also explains there are 100 billion total coins, with 35 billion of them eventually being sold to ‘eligible participants.’ That means another 15 billion could come on the market later, possibly at a different price.

该论文还解释说，代币总数为 1000 亿枚，其中 350 亿枚最终出售给“合格参与者”。这意味着稍后可能还会有另外 150 亿美元以不同的价格上市。

Trump’s crypto plan extends well beyond the new coin. At a Bitcoin conference over the summer, he said he wants the U.S. to create a strategic reserve of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC).

特朗普的加密货币计划远远超出了新硬币的范畴。在今年夏天的一次比特币会议上，他表示希望美国建立比特币战略储备（加密货币：BTC）。

Trump’s rival Kamala Harris has touted crypto as well, proposing a new regulatory framework that she says will better protect owners of digital coins and other digital assets.

特朗普的竞争对手卡玛拉·哈里斯也大力宣传加密货币，并提出了一个新的监管框架，她表示该框架将更好地保护数字货币和其他数字资产的所有者。

The candidates’ vocal support for crypto dovetails with an increase in donations to political action committees aimed at getting pro-crypto candidates elected, regardless of their political affiliation, according to an August report from Public Citizen. Nearly half of all corporate money going toward influencing the election is coming from crypto firms, with the crypto exchange Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) and payment network Ripple as the biggest backers.

根据 Public Citizen 8 月份的一份报告，候选人对加密货币的直言不讳的支持与政治行动委员会的捐款增加相吻合，这些政治行动委员会旨在让支持加密货币的候选人当选，无论其政治派别如何。用于影响选举的所有企业资金中近一半来自加密货币公司，其中加密货币交易所 Coinbase（纳斯达克股票代码：COIN）和支付网络 Ripple 是最大的支持者。
