After a dramatic $1 billion liquidation wave among leveraged crypto traders in the past 24 hours, Justin Sun, the founder of Tron (TRX), has unveiled a major relief initiative.
Sun announced on X that he has allocated $1 billion to support the growth and advancement of the cryptocurrency and Web3 sectors.
This announcement comes amid a broader market decline, with Ethereum experiencing severe sell-offs totaling over $353 million. Rumors circulated that Sun himself was forced to liquidate, but he clarified these claims, emphasizing his preference for staking, node operations, and providing liquidity over leveraged trading.
