Justin Sun, the famous founder of the Tron (TRX) network, has taken action to relieve the pain of the Curve Finance hacking attempt. Sun and 5 big whales have collected millions of dollars worth of altcoins from the market today.
Justin Sun and famous whales joint effort for CRV
Tron founder Sun has stepped in to bolster the CRV price in a move that could prevent the liquidation of a major loan tied to Curve Finance founder Michael Egorov. The liquidation in question contains potential dangers for USDT broadcast on the Tron network.
Aware of the danger, Sun took action today to prevent the liquidation of a major loan tied to Michael Egorov, the founder of Curve Finance. According to Blockchain data on Tuesday, an average of 5 million CRVs were purchased via OTC transaction from a wallet labeled “Curve.fi Founder”. The average price of the purchase was $0.4. CRV is currently trading slightly above this price.
This transaction equates to a little over $2.3 million. To support the CRV price, Sun paid over $0.37, from which Egorov’s loan could be liquidated. The Tron founder wrote on Twitter after his sacrifice:
I’m excited to help Curve! As committed partners, we are committed to providing support when needed. Our joint efforts will provide a stusdt pool on Curve that increases user benefits. Together we aim to empower the community and create decentralized finance.
