Summary

Justin Sun’s alleged former girlfriend has accused Binance, led by Changpeng Zhao, and TRON of orchestrating TRX market manipulation through paid key opinion leader (KOL) networks and insider trading strategies. These fresh allegations build on earlier claims of early TRX trading manipulation, which the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is already investigating in connection with alleged wash trading by TRON-linked entities such as WLFI. The new testimony raises further regulatory questions about both projects’ market conduct.
