特朗普的加密晚宴平均每座位的费用超过100万美元

特朗普日益参与加密货币正在激动不安。在投资者欢迎他的支持时，许多人现在担心他优先考虑个人利润而不是行业稳定。

President Donald Trump's continuing involvement in crypto is stirring unease as investors grow weary of the president's shifting priorities and family financial interests appearing to outweigh pressing policy goals.

唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）总统持续参与加密货币（Crypto）正在激起不安，因为投资者对总统的变化优先事项和家庭经济利益似乎超过了紧迫的政策目标。

The tipping point came Thursday night, when Trump hosted a lavish private dinner at his Northern Virginia golf club for the top 220 investors in his meme coin project, $TRUMP — including controversial crypto moguls and foreign nationals.

临界点是星期四晚上，当时特朗普在他的北弗吉尼亚高尔夫俱乐部举办了一场豪华的私人晚餐，为他的模因硬币项目中的前220名投资者$特朗普（包括有争议的加密大麻和外国国民）。

To win a seat at the table, the bidders had to pour an average of $1.79 million on Trump’s official cryptocurrency token, according to an analysis by the blockchain analytics company Nansen. In total, the 220 winners of the contest to meet Trump spent $394 million on his volatile cryptocurrency token, though some have sold portions of or all of their coins since the contest ended.

根据区块链分析公司Nansen的分析，为了赢得席位，投标人必须平均向特朗普的官方加密货币代币投入179万美元。总的来说，比赛的220名获奖者在他的动荡的加密货币代币上花费了3.94亿美元，尽管自比赛结束以来，有些人已经出售了部分或全部硬币。

The amount varied significantly by spender, with the top seven bidders each spending more than $10 million and the bottom 24 each spending less than $100,000. A third of the bidders — 67 of them — spent more than a million dollars, the research shows.

该金额的差异很大，前七名投标人的支出超过1000万美元，而最底层的24个支出不到100,000美元。研究表明，三分之一的投标人（其中67个）花费了超过一百万美元。

The bottom tier of bidders began around $55,000, and the average winning bid was about $1,788,994.42.

竞标者的最低级别开始约55,000美元，平均获胜竞标约为1,788,994.42美元。

The bidders' identities were not disclosed by the Trump campaign, and the president's son, Eric Trump, said on X, formerly Twitter, that the contest was closed on Wednesday night.

特朗普竞选活动没有透露投标人的身份，总统的儿子埃里克·特朗普（Eric Trump）在X（以前是Twitter）上说，比赛于周三晚上结束。

The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

特朗普运动没有立即回应置评请求。

Intended to celebrate crypto's growing political clout, the event has instead fueled concerns about pay-to-play politics, foreign influence, and the blurring of lines between presidential authority and personal profit.

该活动旨在庆祝加密货币的政治影响力日益增长的影响力，引起了人们对付费政治，外国影响以及总统权威与个人利润之间界限模糊的担忧。

“It’s distasteful and an unnecessary distraction,” said Nic Carter, a pro-Trump investor and partner at Castle Island Ventures. “We’d rather see regulatory clarity than meme coin theatrics.”

“这是令人讨厌的，也是不必要的分散注意力，” Castle Island Ventures的亲笔投资者兼合伙人Nic Carter说。 “我们宁愿看到法规清晰度而不是模因硬币戏剧。”

Trump’s $TRUMP meme coin, launched just before his second inauguration, was billed as “a way for supporters to have fun.” But it’s proven far more potent — granting access to the president himself. The top 25 coinholders were invited to a private reception, with the top four awarded Trump-branded crypto watches worth $100,000 each.

特朗普的$特朗普模因硬币是在他第二次就职之前推出的，被称为“支持者玩得开心的一种方式”。但事实证明，这更有效 - 授予与总统本人的接触。排名前25位的股东被邀请参加私人招待会，其中排名前四的特朗普品牌的加密表格每人价值100,000美元。

The coin surged in value after the dinner contest was announced, though critics point to extreme volatility and a lack of transparency. One of the project’s creators is linked to the Trump Organization, which has reportedly earned hundreds of millions in trading fees.

晚宴比赛后，硬币的价值激增，尽管批评家表明极端波动和缺乏透明度。该项目的创作者之一与特朗普组织有关，据报道，该组织已获得了数亿美元的交易费用。

Trump’s family financial entanglements with crypto are also sprawling. His daughter Ivanka Trump launched her own venture this spring, reportedly raising millions in a matter of days.

特朗普与加密货币的家庭财务纠缠也在庞大。他的女儿伊万卡·特朗普（Ivanka Trump）今年春天开展了自己的冒险，据报道在几天之内筹集了数百万美元。

“Crypto is now one of the most significant sources of the Trump family’s wealth,” said James Thurber, a leading ethics expert at Johns Hopkins University.

约翰·霍普金斯大学（Johns Hopkins University）的主要道德专家詹姆斯·瑟伯（James Thurber）说：“加密货币现在是特朗普家族财富最重要的来源之一。”

Trump’s shift from open crypto skeptic to ardent supporter has been swift and surprising. In 2019, he tweeted that crypto wasn’t “real money” and was “used for illegal activity.” But by May 2024, after a Mar-a-Lago crypto summit and a high-dollar fundraiser at tech investor David Sacks’ home, he had completely flipped.

特朗普从公开加密怀疑论者转变为热心的支持者，这是迅速而令人惊讶的。 2019年，他在推特上说，加密货币不是“真钱”，并且“用于非法活动”。但是到2024年5月，在Mar-a-lago加密峰会和科技投资者David Sacks的家中的高价筹款活动之后，他完全翻转了。

At a campaign rally in January, Trump declared that crypto was “critical to our financial strength” and pledged to continue rolling out new digital assets. He's also appointed crypto-friendly figures to top Cabinet roles, including Treasury Secretary Gary Gray and White House Chief of Staff Mike ведет Garland.

特朗普在一月份的竞选集会上宣布加密货币“对我们的财务实力至关重要”，并承诺继续推出新的数字资产。他还任命了加密货币友好的人物担任顶级橱柜角色，包括财政部长加里·格雷（Gary Gray）和白宫参谋长迈克·麦克（Mike）。

In March, Trump signed an executive order on federal cryptocurrency regulation, prioritizing a U.S.-led approach to digital assets despite concerns from Democrats about pay-to-play hiring practices in key administration roles.

3月，特朗普签署了一项有关联邦加密货币法规的行政命令，尽管人们担心民主党人担心在关键管理角色中付费招聘行为，但优先考虑了美国领导的数字资产方法。

The president's crypto endeavors have faced backlash from both sides of the aisle.

总统的加密货币努力从过道的两边都面临反弹。

Trump’s personal ties are being used by Democrats to stall other legislation, arguing it opens the door to corruption.

民主党人正在使用特朗普的个人联系，以阻止其他立法，认为这为腐败打开了大门。

"He's becoming a salesman-in-chief," said Thurber, who authored the book "Inside the White House: The Role of Presidential Assistants."

瑟伯（Thurber）说：“他正在成为一名首席推销员。”

"And the buyers? They're billionaires with anonymous wallets."

“还有买家？他们是带有匿名钱包的亿万富翁。”

Many mainstream crypto leaders are treading carefully. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong declined to comment on Trump’s ventures. Others have expressed quiet frustration that his family’s aggressive coin launches and business ties may erode hard-fought gains for regulatory clarity.

许多主流加密领袖都在仔细踩踏。 Coinbase首席执行官Brian Armstrong拒绝对特朗普的冒险发表评论。其他人则表示安静的沮丧，因为他的家人的侵略性硬币发起和商业关系可能会侵蚀艰苦的收益，从而获得监管的清晰度。

"Trump is hugging us to death," said Carter, who serves on the President's Council of Economic Advisers.

在总统经济顾问委员会任职的卡特说：“特朗普正在将我们拥抱致死。”

"He's made us a top agenda item, but at what cost? We're losing sight of the big picture."

“他使我们成为了顶级议程，但要花多少钱？我们正在忽视大局。”
