Tron Founder Justin Sun's Dubious TUSD Transactions Raise Concerns in Crypto Community

Tron founder Justin Sun's recent TrueUSD (TUSD) transactions have raised concerns in the cryptocurrency community. Crypto analyst Adam Cochran highlighted Sun's actions, including minting $62 million worth of TUSD, withdrawing $50 million in USDT from Huobi, and depositing $50 million in USDT on Bitfinex.

Cochran also expressed concern that Sun's apparent manipulation of TUSD could create the appearance of greater liquidity in the market and potentially lead to price manipulation. Additionally, the CEO of Binance has reportedly offered voluntary termination packages to employees in multiple departments, raising questions about the financial stability of the exchange and its potential exposure to Sun's actions.

  • Tether CEO: Ripple CEO's comments spread fear about USDT

    According to reports, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino responded to comments made by Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse in a recent interview about the stablecoin Tether (USDT) on social media. Garlinghouse stated in the interview that the US government is pursuing Tether, which is clear to me. Ardoino said that an uninformed CEO leading a company under SEC investigation launched a competitive stablecoin (cui prodest), spreading fear about USDT. Ardoino emphasized Tether's critical role in providing financial services to unbanked communities in emerging and developing regions, which are often overlooked by traditional financial institutions. He further asserted that Tether adheres to strict transparency and regulatory compliance standards, as evidenced by its compliance with the OFAC/SDN list, its partnership with Chainalysis, and its extensive collaboration with international law enforcement agencies to detect and prevent illegal activities, thereby enhancing the security of its ecosystem.

This determination could hinder the development of the cryptocurrency market and potentially reverse progress made over the years. In addition, the US SEC is likely to delay its decision on the status of Ethereum, putting the cryptocurrency asset in a "gray area".
  • Ripple CEO: The US government’s next target is Tether

    Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse recently stated in an interview that the next target of the US government is Tether, the stablecoin company responsible for the circulation of USDT. Some experts believe that Garlinghouse's statement is a very big insider report, and if it really happens, there will be a huge selling pressure in the USDT stablecoin market. In this case, the value of USDT will experience a significant decline.
