Melania Trump launches cryptocurrency on eve of inauguration
The $Trump and $Melania cryptocurrency coins, despite Trump's previous criticism of crypto, have gained significant market valuation with $Trump at约$120亿和$Melania约为$17亿。特朗普在竞选期间接受数字货币捐赠,并承诺减轻加密行业的监管压力,导致比特币创下历史新高,目前交易价格约为$107,000。此外,在特朗普胜选后,其他与他相关的数字货币如狗狗币也大幅上涨。相比之下,拜登政府时期加强了对加密公司的监管行动。

Disclaimers on the websites of both the $Trump and $Melania coins said they were "not intended to be, or the subject of" an investment opportunity or a security.
According to the CoinMarketCap website, $Trump has a total market valuation of about $12bn (£9.8bn), while $Melania's stands at around $1.7bn.
Trump had previously called crypto a "scam" but during the 2024 election campaign became the first presidential candidate to accept digital assets as donations.
On the campaign trail, Trump also said he would create a strategic bitcoin stockpile and appoint financial regulators that take a more positive stance towards digital assets.
That spurred expectations that he would strip back regulations on the crypto industry.
In the wake of Trump's victory, bitcoin jumped to a record high and is currently trading at around $107,000, according to crypto trading platform Coinbase.
On Friday, the incoming artificial intelligence (AI) and crypto tsar David Sacks held a "Crypto Ball" in Washington, DC.
Other cryptocurrencies, including dogecoin - which has been promoted by high-profile Trump supporter Elon Musk - have also risen sharply this year.
Under President Joe Biden, regulators cited concerns about fraud and money laundering as they cracked down on crypto companies by suing exchanges.
