暗杀风波未平,特朗普的加密项目被疑触碰监管「红线」

在前总统唐纳德·特朗普遭遇明显的暗杀未遂事件后的第二天,他现身直播,宣传他的最新商业项目——加密货币。

「无论我们喜不喜欢,必须要做加密货币,」特朗普在 X 上说道。「这是我必须做的。」

与他一起出现在直播中的有家族朋友、特朗普的两个儿子——小唐纳德·特朗普和埃里克·特朗普——以及两位鲜为人知的加密货币企业家。他们一起推出了特朗普的加密货币业务 World Liberty Financial。这个项目已经引发了人们对特朗普潜在利益冲突的担忧,甚至令他在加密行业内一些最热心的支持者感到惊讶。

自 8 月以来,特朗普一直在推广这个项目,但其具体目的尚不明确。目前还没有正式的启动日期。在直播中,特朗普没有直接提到这个项目的具体细节,而是将其留给了两位企业家——查斯·赫罗(Chase Herro)和扎卡里·福克曼(Zachary Folkman)。赫罗自称为「互联网的坏小子」,而福克曼曾教授如何吸引女性的课程。

在距离大选仅数周的时间里,总统候选人推出新业务非常罕见,尤其是一个明确旨在给他自己及其家族带来利益的项目。但在其整个政治生涯中,特朗普经常参与一些被道德专家认为存在问题的商业活动。特朗普是特朗普媒体与科技集团的主要所有者,这家公司是其社交媒体平台 Truth Social 的母公司,特朗普的个人财富中大约 20 亿美元来自于此。

非营利监察机构——政府监督项目的执行董事丹妮尔·布莱恩表示,如果特朗普在 11 月当选,他参与加密货币业务将带来严重的利益冲突问题。美国证券交易委员会(SEC)已经在打击加密行业,认为几乎所有加密货币都是未注册的证券,应像华尔街股票一样受到监管。

「他可能会利用影响力推动监管机构偏袒他所参与的业务」布莱恩说。道德专家也曾对特朗普拥有社交媒体公司提出类似的担忧。特朗普集团和 World Liberty Financial 的代表未回应置评请求。

多年来,特朗普一直是加密货币的怀疑论者,甚至称比特币为「骗局」。但在竞选活动中,他逐渐成为加密货币的支持者,出席了一个广受欢迎的行业会议,并吸引了加密行业高管的捐款。「你们看到的是一个非常敌对的 SEC,」特朗普在周一的直播中说道。「而我的态度则不一样。」

World Liberty Financial 的规划始于九个月前,推动此项目的特朗普家族好友、房地产大亨史蒂夫·威特科夫表示,他向特朗普的儿子们介绍了赫罗和福克曼,这两人负责领导该项目。

到 7 月,位于波多黎各的 AMG 软件解决方案公司为该平台提交了商标申请。下个月,特朗普、埃里克·特朗普和小唐纳德·特朗普开始在 X 上发布有关该项目的内容。

在周一的直播中,特朗普和他的儿子们表示,加密货币将改变金融体系,但没有详细说明他们的商业项目计划实现什么目标。不过,据知情人士透露,World Liberty Financial 被一些内部人士描述为一个借贷平台。根据《纽约时报》审阅的一份白皮书,该项目将推出一种名为 $WLFI 的新加密货币,并向公众出售。

在其官方 X 和 Telegram 账户上,World Liberty Financial 表示,该项目的目标是推动「稳定币的大规模采用」,稳定币是一种旨在保持恒定价值(1 美元)的加密货币。一位知情人士将该项目描述为类似于现有的服务 Instadapp,这是一款允许用户跨多个加密平台管理投资的应用程序。

根据白皮书中的团队成员名单,特朗普家族的几位成员都参与了该业务。特朗普本人担任「首席加密货币倡导者」一职。其 18 岁的儿子巴伦·特朗普被列为项目的「DeFi(去中心化金融)愿景者」。埃里克·特朗普和小唐纳德·特朗普则分别担任「Web3 大使」。

白皮书的免责声明中提到,该平台并不属于特朗普、特朗普集团或其家族所有,尽管家族成员可能会因此获得报酬。(白皮书最早由加密货币新闻网站 CoinDesk 报道。)

据知情人士透露,史蒂夫·威特科夫在该项目中扮演了积极的角色。他设想这个项目部分是为了让巴伦·特朗普积累创业经验,并引导他远离 meme 币(一类充满骗局的加密货币)。威特科夫的发言人拒绝置评。

巴伦·特朗普没有参与直播,但特朗普表示他的儿子是个加密货币的爱好者。「他拥有四个钱包,」特朗普说。「他对这些东西了如指掌。」

该项目的主要负责人是赫罗和福克曼。在直播中,赫罗表示,他的目标是让「每个普通美国人」都能参与加密货币投资。

「这个国家对我来说非常好,而加密货币也对我非常好,」赫罗说。

赫罗在加密货币界是一个相对不为人知的角色。据他所说,自己年轻时因长期涉毒被判入狱,但后来洗心革面,成功致富。2022 年,他曾出现在乔丹·贝尔福特(电影《华尔街之狼》的灵感来源)主持的一场加密货币研讨会上。赫罗在会上将稳定币形容为「自切片面包以来的最大创新」,并表示他最喜欢的一种币「充满活力、疯狂,几乎像一个庞氏骗局。」

多年来,赫罗与福克曼合作密切,后者曾创办了一家公司「Date Hotter Girls」,提供有关「如何吸引、约会并留住美丽和高质量女性」的课程。

赫罗和福克曼曾在美国维京群岛以及后来的波多黎各从事多个商业项目。据公开记录显示,两人都在波多黎各拥有房产,那里因提供慷慨的税收优惠而吸引了许多加密货币爱好者。福克曼在政府数据库中被列为享受该税收优惠的人之一。

在波多黎各成立公司之前,赫罗和福克曼在美国维京群岛经营了 Nexus 集团,这是一家享受类似税收优惠的互联网广告和媒体公司。赫罗还在那里经营了一家名为 Pacer Capital 的加密货币交易公司。

在直播中,福克曼表示,由于政府对加密货币的打击力度加大,World Liberty Financial 关联的数字货币只会向合格投资者开放。他补充说,律师们「正在紧张地盯着我。」

DeFi Has Reached Its Most Dangerous Moment: The Real Vulnerabilities Are Not in the Code

DeFi in Peril: The Real Vulnerability Isn't in the Code April 2026 marked a paradigm shift in DeFi security, with over $625 million lost across 30 incidents—the worst month in crypto history by event count. Crucially, none of the major exploits (Drift Protocol: $285M, KelpDAO: $292M, Wasabi Protocol: $4.5M) resulted from smart contract vulnerabilities. Instead, failures occurred in the operational "plumbing": social engineering to compromise multi-signature councils, a single-point-of-failure 1-of-1 bridge validator, and stolen admin private keys. These events expose a fundamental misalignment: the industry's security model has long focused on code audits, while the actual attack surface has shifted to privileged access points and off-chain infrastructure. The article introduces the term "OpenFi" to describe this reality: permissionless, on-chain, yet operationally dependent on trusted third parties (admins, validators, oracles) at key junctures. The KelpDAO exploit vividly demonstrated asymmetric "contagion risk." A configuration error in a smaller protocol triggered a panic, causing approximately $13.2 billion in outflows from larger, unaffected protocols like Aave within 48 hours, as users fled uncertain collateral. The core dilemma is the double-edged sword of centralization. Operational levers like emergency councils (e.g., Arbitrum freezing stolen funds post-KelpDAO) enable crisis response but also create catastrophic attack surfaces if compromised (e.g., Drift). The path forward demands radical honesty: protocols must clearly disclose their trust assumptions, operational levers, and failure modes. The industry must treat operational security (key management, configurations, incident response) with the same rigor as code security. Survival depends on building systems whose risks can be understood, priced, and insured, moving beyond the outdated "code is law" mantra to a mature model of disclosed and managed trust.

Vitalik's Article Emphasizes Ethereum Must Be 'Amazing', But Foundation Is Not the Center

Vitalik Buterin has published a lengthy response to recent community criticism directed at the Ethereum Foundation (EF). Acknowledging a sense of "unease," he addresses concerns about the EF's strategic direction, its perceived disconnect from ETH's price performance, and calls for its reduced central role. Vitalik rejects the notion that the EF should be the central governing body of Ethereum, framing it instead as one "node with a clear mandate" among many within the ecosystem. He highlights the EF's limited ETH holdings (≈0.16% of supply) compared to other blockchain foundations and states it will no longer sell significant amounts of ETH. Its future focus will be on long-term, critical projects that align with Ethereum's core values of censorship-resistance and decentralization, which might not otherwise happen. A core argument is that Ethereum must be "amazing," but not by merely chasing higher transaction speeds at the cost of decentralization. He proposes focusing on the "CROPS" dimensions: creating a Cryptographically provable, Reliable, Open, Private, and Secure network. This includes pursuing goals like a formally verifiable, bug-free Ethereum client and minimizing protocol-level reliance on intermediaries. The article concludes by noting that while Vitalik clarifies the EF's refocused role, he does not directly address community suggestions for creating a new organization explicitly aligned with ETH's economic interests. This "alignment gap" is presented as a key challenge for Ethereum's future.

Galxe: How a Quest Platform Evolved into Web3's Growth Infrastructure

Galxe, once perceived as a simple Web3 quest platform, has evolved into a core growth infrastructure within the Web3 ecosystem. It addresses a fundamental Web3 growth dilemma: the lack of a mature, systematic user acquisition and retention system akin to Web2's advertising and analytics platforms. While users complete quests (social tasks, on-chain interactions) for rewards, Galxe's true innovation lies in transforming these fragmented, one-off actions into lasting, verifiable identity credentials. This process of *behavioral assetization* creates a persistent record of a user's activities across projects and chains. For users, their wallet accumulates a valuable history that can unlock future access and rewards, fostering a "profile-building" mentality. For projects, Galxe provides a pre-screened user pool with rich behavioral data, enabling targeted outreach to users based on their specific on-chain history and community engagement. Galxe employs a gamefied growth path, guiding users from low-friction social tasks into deeper, valuable on-chain interactions through a structured progression of quests. This solves the incentive-behavior mismatch common in Web3, filtering users by their willingness to engage. Beyond quests, products like Passport (identity verification) and Starboard (community analytics) position Galxe as a comprehensive growth operating system. The platform's defensible advantage is its self-reinforcing data and network flywheel: more projects attract more users, enriching behavioral data; richer data enables better user targeting, attracting more projects. Ultimately, Galxe is shifting Web3's growth logic from short-term "reward-driven" traffic towards a long-term "identity-driven" relationship model, where a user's accumulated on-chain履历 becomes a core asset.
