Justin Sun: USDC Cash Out Are Rumors
Tron founder Justin Sun in a tweet on October 21 revealed the reasons behind the recent USDC transactions to Circle. Until now, Justin Sun has transferred nearly $236 million to Circle in the last 3 weeks.
He said the transactions with Circle aren’t USDC cash out, but only internal fund sorting and allocation. There are many repeated USDC transactions with Circle. The fund allocation will increase as the business grows.
Justin Sun remains optimistic about crypto and blockchain developments. Moreover, there are plans of increasing recruitment, as well as increase holdings of TRX, HT, and other TRON series of Domenico fiat currencies.
“The rumor of cashing out is not true. The transaction with USDC Circle is only internal capital deployment with double counting. We are highly bullish on crypto, recruiting vigorously, increasing our holdings of Dominica legal tenders.”

Meanwhile, the USDT market cap has increased in the last 2 months. The increased regulatory scrutiny and the crypto winter have impacted stablecoin adoption.
