The delisting comes after a significant event on the morning of March 23, when TRON founder Justin Sun made his first statement after being sued by the SEC, alleging that TRX and BTT are securities and act as securities market manipulation. Faced with accusations, Justin Sun said it did not affect TRON’s business activities.
Mr. Sun said that the SEC’s targeting of TRON is just a continuation of a string of recent regulatory actions imposed against many other institutions in the crypto industry. TRON said it would be willing to work with authorities and regulators to develop transparent supervisory regulations for the crypto industry, noting that by the end of 2022, the island nation Dominica has recognized TRX and BTT as legal platform payment methods.
Immediately following the news, the 2 tokens saw a sharp drop.
