周末游说者赢得了特朗普的胜利，为XRP赢得了440亿美元

Politico周四的一口勺揭示了3月2日在XRP盘内价格上涨的原因。

An interesting tidbit from the world of crypto and politics! A recent scoop by Politico unveiled how a female employee at Brian Ballard's lobbying firm, currently a client of Ripple, enticed Donald Trump into making a post on Truth Social that ultimately led to a $44 billion surge in XRP's market capitalization.

来自加密和政治世界的有趣花絮！ Politico最近的一项勺子揭示了Brian Ballard的游说公司（目前是Ripple的客户）如何吸引唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）发表关于真相社交的职位，最终导致XRP的市值增长了440亿美元。

Apparently, the lobbyist, working on a request from a client, engaged Trump in conversation at Mar-a-Lago, persistently suggesting that he post about crypto. After days of persistence, Trump finally agreed, and his staffer posted it on his behalf.

显然，游说者在客户的要求下工作，与特朗普在Mar-a-Lago进行对话，坚持认为他发布了有关加密货币的信息。经过几天的持久性，特朗普终于同意了，他的工作人员代表他发布了它。

However, it seems Trump later grew wary of the situation, especially since no one told him about the "unspeakable conflict of interest"—the female employee was a paid lobbyist for Ripple at the time.

但是，似乎特朗普后来对这种情况感到持久，尤其是因为没有人告诉他“不可言喻的利益冲突” - 女性雇员当时是Ripple的带薪游说者。

Aides said Trump was furious and began ranting to staff, adding that Ballard "is not welcome in anything anymore." Protos has reached out to Ripple for comment on Ballard Partners.

助手说，特朗普很生气，开始向工作人员大声疾呼，并补充说，巴拉德“不再受到任何事情。” Protos已接触到Ripple对Ballard合作伙伴发表评论。

Now, let's put that $44 billion gain in perspective. At the time, Ballard's firm was making less than $60 million a year from lobbying. So, the value of Trump's post in driving up the price of XRP, ultimately benefitting Ripple, was truly immense.

现在，让我们看着440亿美元的收益。当时，巴拉德的公司每年从游说中赚取不到6000万美元。因此，特朗普帖子在提高XRP价格的价值最终使波纹受益的价值确实是巨大的。

It appears Trump recognized this error later on, as he ordered the administration to sell, not buy, XRP, and focused solely on bitcoin for purchasing activity.

似乎特朗普稍后曾承认这一错误，因为他命令政府出售，不购买，XRP，而专注于比特币购买活动。

As the price chart above shows, that action benefited Ripple tremendously. At the time, Ballard's firm was annualizing less than $60 million in revenue, while its actions helped XRP rally $44 billion in market capitalization. The value was unmatchable.

正如上面的价格表所示，该动作受益匪浅。当时，巴拉德公司的收入不到6000万美元，而其行动有助于XRP Rally Rally 440亿美元的市值。该值是无与伦比的。

Later on, Trump tried to course-correct by relegating XRP to a sell-only stockpile and choosing BTC alone for the nation's ability to purchase new coins. Of all people, Trump certainly hates feeling used.

后来，特朗普试图通过将XRP降级为仅卖出的库存，并仅选择BTC来纠正课程，并仅选择BTC购买新硬币的能力。在所有人中，特朗普当然讨厌使用的感觉。

Still, the price of XRP has quadrupled since Trump assumed the presidency, so it seems the political benefit has not worn off entirely.

尽管如此，自特朗普担任总统职位以来，XRP的价格已经达到了三倍，因此看来政治利益并未完全消失。

The incident wasn't the first time XRP benefited from political events. Both Ripple and its executives have been political donors for years.

该事件不是XRP第一次从政治事件中受益。多年来，Ripple及其高管一直是政治捐助者。

On November 15, 2024, XRP rallied 17% intraday on unconfirmed reporting that Ripple Labs CEO Brad Garlinghouse met with then-President-elect Trump.

2024年11月15日，XRP在未经证实的报道中提出了17％的盘中，称Ripple Labs首席执行官Brad Garlinghouse与当时的总统当选特朗普会面。

XRP also directly benefited from Trump's promise to fire Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Gary Gensler. On March 19, XRP experienced a significant price surge after Garlinghouse announced that the SEC would drop its multi-year lawsuit against Ripple.

XRP还直接受益于特朗普对解雇证券交易委员会（SEC）董事长加里·金斯勒（Gary Gensler）的承诺。 3月19日，XRP在加林豪斯（Garlinghouse）宣布SEC将撤销对Ripple的多年诉讼之后经历了巨大的价格上涨。

Of course, Ripple hasn't always been Republican-aligned, despite its recent lobbying efforts to benefit from the Trump 2.0 administration.

当然，尽管最近为受益于特朗普2.0政府受益的努力，但波普尔并不总是与共和党保持一致。

Prior to Trump, many people viewed Ripple not as red but as Democrat blue. Indeed, Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen personally donated $11 million worth of XRP to Kamala Harris' campaign.

在特朗普之前，许多人认为波纹不是红色的，而是民主党蓝色。确实，Ripple联合创始人Chris Larsen亲自向Kamala Harris的竞选活动捐赠了价值1100万美元的XRP。

On July 13, 2023, Barack Obama-nominated U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres changed Gary Gensler's career forever. Torres forced Gensler, who was overseeing a landmark securities violation lawsuit against Ripple, to take a decisive step back as he wound down his tenure towards his ultimate resignation ahead of Trump's promise to fire him.

2023年7月13日，巴拉克·奥巴马（Barack Obama）提名美国地方法院法官Analisa Torres永远改变了Gary Gensler的职业生涯。托雷斯（Torres）迫使加斯勒（Gensler）负责监督对Ripple的具有里程碑意义的证券诉讼，他在特朗普承诺解雇他的诺言之前将自己的任期降低了最终辞职，因此退后一步。

On that day, Torres ruled that certain sales of XRP weren't securities, causing the market cap of XRP to double intraday from $25 to $50 billion.

那天，托雷斯裁定，XRP的某些销售不是证券，导致XRP的市值从25亿美元增加到500亿美元。

In his last filing as SEC head, Gensler wrote that he still thought many XRP transactions were a securities offerings. Then he quit.

Gensler在他作为SEC负责人的最后一份文件中写道，他仍然认为许多XRP交易是证券产品。然后他退出。
