Tron Founder Justin Sun Reportedly Takeover Huobi Global

Tron founder Justin Sun has reportedly taken over the crypto exchange Huobi Global business. Former Huobi CEO Zhu Hua, CFO Zhang Li, and other senior executives have voluntarily resigned, as per sources.

According to a November 15 tweet by wublockchain12, Tron founder Justin Sun’s team has officially taken control of the business of crypto exchange Huobi.

Moreover, Huobi’s former CEO Zhu Hua and CFO Zhang Li have officially resigned. Chen Dai, the former head of Huobi PR/GR, also bid farewell to Huobi.

Justin Sun’s FTX Deal

Tron founder Justin Sun was also in discussion with beleaguered crypto exchange FTX. Initially, he worked with the FTX team to start TRX trading, along with other Tron tokens. It caused the TRX price to soar over 200% on the FTX crypto exchange.

Tron founder Justin Sun in an interview agreed that his team is currently working on due diligence over the potential acquisition of FTX. The crypto exchange earlier reached out to Binance for help with liquidity issues. However, Binance turned down the deal citing mismanagement of user funds and alleged investigations by the U.S. authorities. FTX later filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy.
