Tron’s native token (CRYPTO: TRX) has surged as much as 400% in just one day, as users struggle to withdraw funds from crypto exchange FTX (CRYPTO: FTT).
What Happened: This comes as an aftermath of the deal struck between H.E. Justin Sun, the founder of TRX and Sam Bankman-Fried, the co-founder of FTX. The deal allows holders of Tron-based assets such as TRX, BitTorrent (CRYPTO: BTT), JUST token (CRYPTO: JST), and Sun token (CRYPTO: SUN) to swap assets from FTX to external wallets.
