Justin Sun’s Stablecoin TUSD Curiously Grows Amid Market Meltdown

Attestations are also becoming difficult to come by as auditors abandon the crypto industry en masse.

BUSD, or Binance USD, a stablecoin issued by Paxos, has been hit particularly hard — its market cap has crumbled from $22 billion to $10 billion over the last three months. What’s peculiar, however, is the upward momentum of the Justin Sun-controlled stablecoin TUSD which has seen its market cap balloon from $750 million in December to nearly $1.2 billion today. This is despite it no longer being able to get regular attestations from Armanino, its auditor.

Only Sun-owned and controlled stablecoins, such as USDJ and USDD, have seen their market caps remain untouched, with seemingly no redemptions happening at all.

The total market cap for stablecoins has gone from about $200 billion in May of 2022 to $130 billion today, a 35% decrease.

  • Trump team files complaint over Harris inheriting $96 million in Biden campaign funds

    According to reports from foreign media, the Trump campaign team has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, claiming that Biden's transfer of $96 million in campaign funds to Harris is illegal. David Warrington, a lawyer for the Trump campaign team, said that this was a "shameless money-grabbing act" and would constitute the largest excessive donation and most serious violation in the history of the Federal Election Law. Shortly after Biden withdrew from the election and appointed Harris as his preferred successor, she took over Biden's campaign committee's bank account. Steve Roberts, a lawyer who represented Republican candidates, said that the argument against the transfer was a "wishful thinking" of his Republican colleagues. The Harris campaign team said that this complaint would not affect its fundraising or spending.
