First Digital Trust Refutes Allegations Of Insolvency
First Digital Trust has released a statement debunking allegations of financial impropriety and insolvency. According to the statement, First Digital Trust says it is completely solvent while accusing Justin Sun of falsehood.
The Trust has been at the center of a whirlpool of a liquidity crisis involving TrueUSD (TUSD) with Justin Sun stepping in to stabilize the stablecoin with a capital injection. The Tron founder launched a tirade against the Hong Kong-based trust, accusing it of financial mismanagement including unauthorized trade finance loans.
“The recent allegations by Justin Sun against First Digital Trust are completely false,” read the statement.
The Trust disclosed that its FDUSD stablecoin is solvent and backed by US Treasury Bills. Per the statement, the legal dispute surrounding TUSD has nothing to do with FDUSD, accusing Sun of a smear campaign. First Digital Trust says it has not had the opportunity to defend itself in court, accusing Sun of launching social media attacks.
“This is a typical Justin Sun smear campaign to try to attack a competitor to his business,” added First Digital Trust.
Justin Sun Maintains His Stance
Justin Sun remains firm in his resolve that First Digital Trust is insolvent while urging investors to cut ties with FDUSD. He warns that the Trust founder Vincent Chok will face the full wrath of the justice system.
“First Digital Trust (FDT) is in fact insolvent,” said Sun. “If you have any relationship with it, please cut off contact as soon as possible to protect your assets.”
Following his accusations, FDUSD lost its peg and traded at a low of $0.88, a steep drop before crawling to $0.98. The loss of $130 million from its market capital has rattled investors with critics taking swipes over its de-pegging.
The Tron founder has covered every blade of grass in recent days, buying $75M of the Trump memecoin. Last week, Justin Sun weighed in on TRX’s halving proposal, supporting a proposal to mirror Bitcoin’s pattern.
The stablecoin drama comes as the US is inching toward tighter stablecoin regulation with the GENIUS Act and STABLE Act.
