Binance CEO “CZ” Warns Justin Sun & Whales Over Misusing SUI Airdrop: Details

Binance CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao on Monday said crypto exchange Binance will take action against Tron founder Justin Sun if he tries to misuse the Binance Launchpool’s SUI airdrop starting today, May 1. The move came after Justin Sun dumped millions of TUSD stablecoins to Binance.

Justin Sun responded that he has no intention of participating in any exchange promotions and the TUSD transferred earlier were part of providing liquidity between leading TUSD exchanges.

Binance Pledges To Take Action Against Justin Sun

Binance CEO in a tweet on May 1 revealed that the Binance team has warned Justin Sun over potential action against him if he uses TUSD transferred to Binance to grab the Launchpool SUI Token airdrop.

Binance CEO further added that the Binance Launchpool airdrops are for retail customers and not for him or any whales. He ended the tweet with a rough statement, saying “On the bright side, blockchains are transparent.” It meant that if Justin Sun tries to get SUI tokens from this sale of TUSD they will get to know through blockchain data.

Justin Sun replied that the primary reason behind depositing TUSD is to facilitate market-making between leading TUSD exchanges, which provides liquidity and trading volume. Justin Sun clarifies that he will not be participating in any exchange promotions.

Further, Justin Sun argued that the transfers provided stability to TUSD price and enough liquidity to the exchanges. However, he noted that some members have unknowingly participated in exchange campaigns and plans to initiate a refund.

“Regrettably, some of our team members were not fully aware of the intended purpose for these funds and inadvertently used a portion of them to participate in exchange campaigns. Upon realizing this error, we immediately contacted the exchange team and arranged for a full refund.”

Wallet linked to Justin Sun transferred 59 million and 56.1 million TUSD worth nearly $116 million to Binance in two transactions on May 1.

Binance Introduced SUI Farming on Launchpool
