U.S. Regulators Urged to Probe TRUMP and MELANIA Meme Coins

美国监管机构敦促调查特朗普和梅拉尼娅 Meme 硬币

Senator Elizabeth Warren and Representative Jake Auchincloss have called for an investigation into the TRUMP and MELANIA meme coins created by Donald and Melania Trump. They cite concerns regarding:

参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦和众议员杰克·奥金克罗斯呼吁对唐纳德·特朗普和梅拉尼娅·特朗普创造的特朗普和梅拉尼娅表情包硬币进行调查。他们提出了以下方面的担忧：

• Foreign Influence: The coins are publicly available, potentially allowing foreign entities to send funds to the Trump family, raising national security and ethical concerns.
• Market Manipulation: The coins have exhibited extreme price volatility, increasing investment risk for consumers.
• Investor Risks: The speculative nature of these coins, driven by online trends, puts investors at financial risk.

Warren expressed particular alarm over the potential for foreign exploitation. She emphasized that anyone, including adversaries, could purchase the coins, raising the risk of unregulated foreign influence while supporters face financial risks.

外国影响力：硬币是公开可用的，有可能允许外国实体向特朗普家族汇款，提高国家安全和道德问题。营销操作：硬币表现出极高的价格波动，增加了对消费者的投资风险。投机性风险：投机性。这些硬币的性质是在线趋势驱动的，使投资者处于财务风险。她强调，包括对手在内的任何人都可以购买硬币，从而增加了外国影响力的风险，而支持者面临经济风险。

Additionally, the Trump family's significant ownership of these coins has raised concerns. While they may personally benefit, investors could face substantial losses. The coin's terms include disclaimers limiting issuer liability in cases of fraud or misconduct, which Warren criticized as inadequate consumer protection.

此外，特朗普家族对这些硬币的重要所有权引起了人们的关注。尽管他们个人可能会受益，但投资者可能会面临重大损失。硬币的条款包括在欺诈或不当行为的情况下限制发行人责任的免责声明，沃伦批评消费者保护不足。

Warren has requested that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) investigate potential violations of securities or commodities laws. She has also inquired about future regulatory measures to mitigate risks associated with such coins.

沃伦已要求美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 和商品期货交易委员会 (CFTC) 调查可能违反证券或商品法的行为。她还询问了未来降低此类代币相关风险的监管措施。

In a separate move, Warren sent an open letter to Elon Musk, outlining proposals to reduce government spending. She suggested cutting wasteful programs, closing tax loopholes for the wealthy, and improving efficiency to save taxpayers $2 trillion over the next decade.

沃伦还向埃隆·马斯克发出了一封公开信，概述了减少政府支出的建议。她建议削减浪费的项目、堵住富人的税收漏洞并提高效率，以便在未来十年为纳税人节省 2 万亿美元。
