彭博推出黄金和比特币综合指数

A publicly-traded logistics firm has struck a $20 million deal with an institutional investor to purchase Official Trump memecoins, becoming one of the first companies to anchor its digital asset strategy around the U.S. president’s controversial crypto business. Freight Technologies CEO Javier Selgas pitched the move as part of an effort to grow U.S.-Mexico commerce—though how a memecoin fits into supply chains remains unclear. The investment also comes as the U.S. Office of Government Ethics examines whether President Donald Trump violates federal ethics rules by offering exclusive access to his coin’s top investors. What Is Fr8Tech? Freight Technologies, which refers to itself as Fr8Tech, is a Houston-based company launched in 2015 and trades on NASDAQ. The company aims to use new technologies like artificial intelligence for the optimization of the supply chain processes. The company’s stock, which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker FRGT, saw its price plummet back in 2018, during Trump’s first term. Like many other companies, Freight Technologies is now moving forward with a digital asset reserve, deviating from the norm of making Bitcoin (BTC) the primary asset and embracing a memecoin instead. Social media influence and crypto commentator Mario Nawfal called it the “first-ever” Trump treasury. No major headlines yet, but $FRGT’s move to back a treasury with $TRUMP is catching CT’s eye—social buzz around $TRUMP is strong, even while the token’s price action is cooling and trading shows short-term downside risk. $FRGT is still under the radar, with little volume or data…— Alva (@AlvaApp) April 30, 2025 Costly gimmick? On April 30, Freight Technologies announced the creation of a crypto treasury. The company agreed to issue convertible notes worth up to $20 million with an institutional investor. The capital is secured exclusively for buying Official Trump (TRUMP) tokens. The first tranche will amount to $1 million. Selgas, in a prepared statement, referenced Trump’s “America First” principle and tied it to trade efforts between Mexico and the U.S. See below: At the heart of Fr8Tech’s mission is the promotion of productive and active commerce between the United States and Mexico. Mexico is the United States’ top goods trading partner, with Mexico being the leading destination for US exports and the top source for US imports. As US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent recently stated, “I wish to be clear: America First does not mean America alone. To the contrary, it is a call for deeper collaboration and mutual respect among trade partners.” Buying TRUMP is outlined as “an effective way to advocate for fair, balanced, and free trade between Mexico and the U.S..” Still, the company doesn’t elaborate on how a Trump memecoin acquisition will help trade between the two countries or warn readers about the possible risks. After all, the Trump token — like most memecoins — is highly volatile. Although its price has been up roughly 2% in the past 24 hours, it’s been on a downward trajectory since its launch in January. Source: CoinGecko Trump memecoin a strange choice As corporate crypto treasuries become trendy, big-name firms like BlackRock recommend allocating up to 2% of corporate assets in Bitcoin. They argue that BTC is a better store of value than most other digital assets. According to the Bitcoin Treasuries website, 101 public companies hold Bitcoin.  Considering Bitcoin’s deflationary design and long-term value appreciation, which have been demonstrated throughout its 15-year history, it’s understandable why some companies may choose Bitcoin as one of their corporate assets.  So far, Official Trump has no use case other than incentivizing investors to buy more to be invited to a private dinner with Trump on May 22. $TRUMP saw its value spike over 50% following the promotion. Critics also warn that the “pay to play” aspect of Official Trump raises ethics concerns and could even be used as a bribery tool. “Something that hasn’t been much discussed — creating a bunch of personal memecoins opens the door to secretive foreign buyers trying to curry influence with our leaders,” Nic Carter of Castle Island Ventures said on X back in January. “If you hated Hunter Biden’s anonymous art sales, you should hate this too.” Something that hasn’t been much discussed – creating a bunch of personal memecoins opens the door to secretive foreign buyers trying to curry influence with our leaders. If you hated hunter biden’s anonymous art sales, you should hate this too.— nic carter (@nic__carter) January 20, 2025 Last month, Democratic Senators Adam Schiff and Elizabeth Warren called for a federal ethics investigation into Trump’s promotion of the coin. In a letter to the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, the senators allege that Trump may have violated federal ethics rules by offering access to his administration in exchange for financial investment. Freight Technologies has not indicated that it seeks access to the White House by holding Trump memecoins. In the days following the company’s announcement, the FRGT stock price grew 111.21% on May 2. The stock closed Friday at $2.08 per share. The Trump memecoin price seems unaffected by the news.

Bubbles make sense when they burst, so it’s premature to state that corporate crypto treasuries are the bubble. However, some observers feel that a sudden spike of interest in crypto among public companies draws comparisons with the dot-com bubble.

As more companies acquire Bitcoin, most are relatively small companies that spend humble amounts on it. Strategy, a company holding over 500,000 bitcoins, started to accumulate BTC in 2020. Tesla made a Bitcoin investment in 2021, driving the asset’s price. Strategy became the dominant Bitcoin buyer among public companies. The rest of the public companies hold smaller BTC bags—no need to panic.  As for the Fr8Tech news, the company currently has the financing “earmarked” for purchasing Official Trump, so we’ll see what happens when the purchase is officially made.

Ritchie Torres is preparing to introduce new legislation that would prohibit the creation and sale of meme coins and stablecoins that exploit the likenesses of U.S. political figures. The bill, titled the “Stop Presidential Profiteering from Digital Assets Act,” aims to curb what Torres calls a growing trend of “digital asset profiteering” by leveraging the identities of high-profile public officials. According to the draft text summary, the bill would make it illegal for any person to create, promote, or sell a digital asset that uses the name, image, or likeness of a “covered individual” if it results in direct or indirect financial gain for that person or the covered official.  🚨NEW from Rep. @RitchieTorres (D-NY) — he’s introducing a bill that would prevent federal officials and their immediate family members from profiting off of meme coins and stablecoins. pic.twitter.com/zaZpuInFc4— Eleanor Terrett (@EleanorTerrett) May 7, 2025 The definition of “covered individual” includes the President, Vice President, Members of Congress, federal officials appointed or confirmed by the Senate, and their immediate family members.

马来西亚将利用区块链和人工智能来打击数字时代的腐败和欺诈。 据马尔代夫媒体1月30日报道，马来西亚反腐败委员会主席丹斯里阿扎姆在马尔代夫举行的第三届科技、人文与管理国际会议上发表讲话时强调，技术进步为打击犯罪带来了新的挑战。 因此，反贪会正在将人工智能和区块链融入其调查工作中，以打击腐败。阿扎姆表示，虽然这些技术使犯罪变得更加复杂，但它们也提供了追踪非法活动和加强反腐败工作的有力工具。 Azam 指出，人工智能能够增强数据分析和欺诈检测能力，使 MACC 能够发现原本可能被忽视的金融违规行为。他指出，区块链确保了“不可篡改的交易记录”，使不良行为者更难操纵财务数据。 你可能还喜欢：马来西亚总理在会见捷克共和国和阿联酋领导人后希望制定加密和区块链政策 反贪会是马来西亚的一个独立政府机构，负责调查和起诉公共和私营部门的腐败行为。反贪会将利用新工具监控执法、公共采购、金融交易和补贴分配等腐败风险较高的关键领域。 阿扎姆补充说，这一发展符合委员会提高各个领域透明度、诚信度和问责制的目标。 长期以来，基于区块链的解决方案一直被吹捧为打击腐败的工具。例如，乌克兰数字化转型部官员此前曾承认，该技术可以帮助保护国家记录并减少监督机构的腐败。 马来西亚的区块链和加密计划 与此同时，这一发展也是马来西亚政府大力推动区块链和数字创新的一部分。 正如 crypto.news 之前报道的那样，马来西亚总理安瓦尔·易卜拉欣在会见阿布扎比政府和币安联合创始人赵长鹏“CZ”后强调了这一雄心，并表示马来西亚必须制定加密货币和区块链政策，以确保国家“不会落后”。 阅读更多：马来西亚证券委员会严厉打击未经注册运营的 Bybit

俄罗斯主要联邦调查机构正在提议对比特币进行新的立法，该立法可能会将通过第三方转移比特币定为犯罪。 俄罗斯调查委员会提出了一项可能影响该国加密货币市场的提案。据俄罗斯新闻媒体 Interfax 报道，2 月初，该机构主席亚历山大·巴斯特雷金在一次延长的董事会会议上宣布，该委员会已提议将加密货币合法地视为财产。 他还建议对将电子支付工具转让给第三方的行为承担刑事责任。接受 crypto.news 采访的俄罗斯法律专家对加密货币是否属于这一术语意见不一。但有一点是明确的：如果获得批准，这些变化将制定明确的规则，规定如何在调查期间扣押或没收加密货币。 投放器 新的加密货币避风港或美国竞争对手：俄罗斯批准加密货币税 法律影响 虽然转移电子支付工具的刑事责任概念很明确，但它是否适用于加密钱包却不清楚。索宾斯基表示，加密钱包不被视为电子支付工具。另一家在法庭上代表币安的俄罗斯公司 Nevsky IP Law 认为，它们是电子支付工具。 “[…] 就加密货币而言，电子支付工具包括数字钱包和硬件钱包。将此类电子支付工具转让给名义方定为犯罪的举措是可以理解的。就银行卡而言，执法部门、监管机构和银行本身都知道谁在进行交易。然而，对于加密货币，钱包通常是已知的，但具体个人却不为人所知。” Ruslan Gafurov，Nevsky IP Law 律师事务所合伙人、争议解决业务负责人
