Justin Sun Issues Major Disclaimer

Sun has explained more clearly why he’s been transferring funds. Contrary to speculation that he’s selling Ethereum, he maintains that these transactions are simply part of his platform’s internal processes and adjustments in liquidity between its digital wallets.

As a passionate crypto investor, I personally align with the Tron Founder’s stance. He continues to stand by the Ethereum ecosystem, expressing his optimism for its long-term success and growth.

Significantly, the recent set of transactions occurs when the cost of ETH started to increase following a rebound trend, which seems to be part of the anticipated Santa rally. At this moment, the coin’s value stands at an increase of 2.63%, currently priced at $3,490.82. Over the past day, its price fluctuated from a low of $3,385 to a peak of $3,535 before settling at its current level.

Based on a previous examination of Ethereum’s price trend, it is possible that the cryptocurrency has experienced its final dip before potentially surging towards five-figure values during this extended bull market.
