Justin Sun, crypto entrepreneur and the founder of Tron, has announced that he is talking with investors and putting together a solution to save the beleaguered crypto exchange, FTX.
Binance Deal Falls Apart
The crypto crash ignited by the FTX collapse has worsened after Binance announced on Wednesday, November 10th, that it would no longer follow through on its earlier announced plans to acquire the struggling crypto exchange.
Binance declined the acquisition citing a run-through of FTX’s books and issues beyond their ability to help. After Binance called off the deal, the founder of FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried announced he was exploring all possible options.
Justin Sun is Putting Together a Solution
Hours after Binance announced that it would no longer be going ahead with the FTX acquisition deal, Justin Sun, the founder of the Tron cryptocurrency network, tweeted that he and his team were “putting together a solution.”
