唐納德·特朗普總統(tǒng)的加密貨幣投資組合持續(xù)擴(kuò)容,。公開數(shù)據(jù)顯示,,他的加密貨幣項(xiàng)目World Liberty Financial推出了一種穩(wěn)定幣,,即與美元等法定貨幣掛鉤的代幣。這種名為USD1的加密貨幣已在以太坊和幣安區(qū)塊鏈(區(qū)塊鏈?zhǔn)亲粉檾?shù)字資產(chǎn)流動的去中心化數(shù)據(jù)庫)上線,。
World Liberty Financial并未公開宣布推出該加密貨幣,。加密貨幣交易平臺幣安(Binance)的前首席執(zhí)行官趙長鵬周一在X平臺(原推特)上向其1000多萬粉絲發(fā)布了該代幣的鏈接。隨后,,World Liberty Financial的社交媒體賬號隱晦地證實(shí)了該鏈接的真實(shí)性,,發(fā)文稱:“目前USD1無法交易。謹(jǐn)防詐騙,,敬請關(guān)注我們的賬號以獲取所有官方公告,。”
World Liberty Financial團(tuán)隊(duì)沒有立即回應(yīng)《財(cái)富》雜志的置評請求,。以下是我們目前了解到的關(guān)于特朗普家族穩(wěn)定幣及其加密貨幣項(xiàng)目的信息:
什么是穩(wěn)定幣,?
加密貨幣價(jià)格波動劇烈,即使是比特幣或以太坊這樣的藍(lán)籌代幣,,其價(jià)格也可能在數(shù)小時(shí)內(nèi)飆升或暴跌10%,。顧名思義,穩(wěn)定幣旨在保持價(jià)格穩(wěn)定,。這通常是通過構(gòu)建與穩(wěn)定幣等額對應(yīng)的現(xiàn)金或國庫券儲備來實(shí)現(xiàn),。
穩(wěn)定幣可以充當(dāng)現(xiàn)金等價(jià)物,尤其受交易員歡迎,,因?yàn)樗鼈兡転橥顿Y者提供規(guī)避價(jià)格波動風(fēng)險(xiǎn)的避風(fēng)港,。投資者無需將加密貨幣兌換成法定貨幣。目前最大的兩種穩(wěn)定幣是泰達(dá)幣(USDT)和美元幣(USDC),,市值分別約為1430億美元和600億美元,。
特朗普家族為何要推出自己的穩(wěn)定幣?
穩(wěn)定幣業(yè)務(wù)規(guī)模龐大,。據(jù)未審計(jì)的財(cái)報(bào)顯示,,泰達(dá)幣的發(fā)行方Tether在2024年實(shí)現(xiàn)了130億美元的凈利潤。據(jù)報(bào)道,,美元幣的發(fā)行方Circle正計(jì)劃上市。
Tether和Circle發(fā)行與美元掛鉤的穩(wěn)定幣,,并以美國國債或美國債券的部分份額作為支撐,。雖然穩(wěn)定幣持有者無法獲得利息,但穩(wěn)定幣發(fā)行方有時(shí)能從產(chǎn)生收益的美國國債中賺取5%的利潤,,如此盈利方式可謂輕松,。截至8月,Tether僅靠約100名員工就賺取了數(shù)十億美元的利潤,。相比之下,,電信巨頭思科(Cisco)需要9萬名員工才能實(shí)現(xiàn)126億美元的凈利潤,。
什么是World Liberty Financial?
World Liberty Financial于8月宣布推出,,是特朗普的加密貨幣產(chǎn)品之一,,此外他還涉足非同質(zhì)化代幣和迷因幣。該項(xiàng)目專注于去中心化金融(DeFi)領(lǐng)域,。去中心化金融應(yīng)用程序旨在通過區(qū)塊鏈復(fù)制銀行的借貸業(yè)務(wù),。
World Liberty Financial的產(chǎn)品規(guī)劃尚不明確,,目前尚未正式推出,,其網(wǎng)站上關(guān)于平臺功能的詳細(xì)信息也很少,。該項(xiàng)目的“白皮書”顯示,其旨在構(gòu)建一個(gè)中心平臺,,用戶可以在上面訪問一系列去中心化金融應(yīng)用程序,如去中心化借貸平臺或去中心化加密貨幣交易所。特朗普被列為“首席加密貨幣倡導(dǎo)者”,。
到目前為止,World Liberty Financial做了什么,?
World Liberty Financial的產(chǎn)品仍處于保密階段,但它已開放其加密貨幣$WLFI的認(rèn)購渠道,。根據(jù)白皮書,,該代幣允許用戶對某些提案進(jìn)行投票,,這些提案將管理尚未推出的去中心化金融平臺,。
投資者紛紛涌入特朗普家族的加密貨幣項(xiàng)目。周二,,該項(xiàng)目宣布已通過代幣銷售籌集了5.5億美元,。倫理專家對這種加密貨幣可能存在的權(quán)錢交易風(fēng)險(xiǎn)提出了警告,。例如,一些批評人士指出,,美國證券交易委員會(SEC)的訴訟對象孫宇晨(Justin Sun)公開購買了價(jià)值7500萬美元的$WLFI,。
誰參與了World Liberty Financial?
參與該項(xiàng)目的人員包括特朗普家族成員,、忠實(shí)擁躉以及加密貨幣開發(fā)者,。特朗普總統(tǒng)的兒子巴倫、埃里克和小唐納德是World Liberty Financial的“Web3大使”,。特朗普的忠實(shí)擁躉,、房地產(chǎn)大亨史蒂夫·威特科夫(Steve Witkoff)及其兩個(gè)兒子亞歷克斯(Alex)和扎克(Zach)被列為聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人,。
此外,,兩位去中心化金融開發(fā)者扎克·福克曼(Zak Folkman)和蔡斯·赫羅(Chase Herro)也被列為聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人,。他們曾參與加密貨幣項(xiàng)目Dough Finance,,該項(xiàng)目在7月遭受黑客攻擊,損失200萬美元,。(財(cái)富中文網(wǎng))

President Donald Trump’s crypto portfolio continues to grow. His crypto project World Liberty Financial has launched a stablecoin, or a token pegged to a fiat currency like the U.S. dollar, according to public data. Called USD1, the cryptocurrency is live on the Ethereum and Binance blockchains, which are decentralized databases that track the flow of digital assets.
World Liberty Financial did not publicly announce the launch. Changpeng Zhao, the former CEO of the crypto exchange Binance, posted Monday a link to the token to his more than 10 million followers on X. The social media account for World Liberty Financial then implicitly acknowledged the link’s legitimacy. “USD1 is not currently tradable. Beware of scams and follow us here for all official announcements,” it wrote.
The World Liberty Financial team did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fortune. Here’s what we know about the Trump family’s stablecoin and his crypto venture:
What are stablecoins?
Cryptocurrencies are volatile, and the prices of even blue-chip tokens like Bitcoin or Ethereum can soar or plummet 10% in hours. As their name implies, stablecoins are designed not to fluctuate. This is achieved by creating a reserve, typically in cash or Treasury bills, that back the stablecoin on a one-to-one basis.
Stablecoins can serve as a cash equivalent, and are especially popular with traders because they provide a shelter from volatility. They don’t require investors to go from crypto to fiat currency. The two largest stablecoins are USDT and USDC, which have market capitalizations of about $143 billion and $60 billion, respectively.
Why would the Trump family launch its own stablecoin?
Stablecoins are big business. Tether, the company behind USDT, reported that it had netted $13 billion in 2024 in an unaudited financial statement. And Circle, the company behind USDC, is reportedly planning to go public.
Tether and Circle back their stablecoins, pegged to the U.S. dollar, with treasuries, or tranches of U.S. debt. While holders of stablecoins don’t receive interest, stablecoin issuers can pocket sometimes 5% off of their treasuries, which accrue yield. It’s easy money. Tether bagged its billions in profit with only about 100 employees as of August. By comparison, Cisco, the telecom giant, needed 90,000 employees to net $12.6 billion.
What is World Liberty Financial?
Announced in August, World Liberty Financial is one of Trump’s crypto products, which also include NFTs and a memecoin. The project is focused on DeFi, or decentralized finance. DeFi applications aim to replicate the businesses of banks—lending and borrowing—but on blockchains.
World Liberty Financial’s product plans are vague. It hasn’t launched yet, and its website has few details on what its platform does. The project’s “gold paper” says it intends to be a hub where users can access a suite of DeFi applications, like decentralized lenders or decentralized crypto exchanges. Trump is listed as “Chief Crypto Advocate”.
What has World Liberty Financial done so far?
World Liberty Financial’s product is still under wraps, but it has allowed people to buy its own cryptocurrency: $WLFI. The token allows users to vote on certain proposals that govern the yet-be-launched DeFi platform, according to the gold paper.
Investors have flooded into the Trump family’s cryptocurrency. On Tuesday, the project announced that it had raised $550 million in token sales. Ethics experts have raised alarm about the cryptocurrency’s potential for influence peddling. As an example, some critics pointed to Justin Sun, the target of litigation from the Securities and Exchange Commission, and his public purchase of $75 million worth of WLFI.
Who’s involved in World Liberty Financial?
The roster of participants in the project is a mix of Trump family members, loyalists and crypto developers. The president’s sons—Barron, Eric, and Donald Jr.—are World Liberty Financial’s “Web3 Ambassadors.” Steve Witkoff, a Trump loyalist and real estate magnate, as well as his two sons, Alex and Zach are listed as cofounders.
And two DeFi developers, Zak Folkman and Chase Herro, are also listed as cofounders. The pair were behind the crypto project Dough Finance, which suffered a $2 million hack in July.
