There has been a recent buzz around True USD [TUSD] and its purported ties to Justin Sun, the owner of Tron [TRX] and the majority owner of Huobi. While these allegations have caused speculation in the market, the big question remains: what impact will this have on TUSD and TRX?
In other words, the focus is on whether or not these rumors will have any tangible effect on the value and performance of these assets.

Are TRX and TUSD one?
Binance made headlines on 30 April, announcing TUSD staking for Sui Network (SUI) farming. However, things took a curious turn on 1 May when a True USD wallet linked to Justin Sun, founder of Tron [TRX], transferred over $56 million worth of TUSD to Binance. Naturally, this raised some eyebrows among crypto enthusiasts.
To address any concerns, Binance CEO Chanpeng Zhao quickly stated that Sun had been warned not to use any of the transferred funds for the SUI airdrop. Nevertheless, on 3 May, a Twitter user, Adam Cochran alleged that Sun had already purchased TUSD. The TUSD team immediately responded, refuting the claim and warning of legal consequences for any alleged defamation.
TUSD flow in the last 24 hours
CoinMarketCap data showed that TUSD’s volume had fluctuated between 2% and 5% over the past 24 hours, indicating a steady level of trading activity. However, the market cap had taken a hit, experiencing a decline of over 10%.
Interestingly, the Glassnode chart tracking the exchange NetFlow metric revealed a dominance of inflow, with a positive NetFlow of over 4.2 million. This indicated that more TUSD was flowing into exchanges than out. The current state of the metric could suggest that investors were looking to sell off their holdings or trade TUSD for other assets.
