More details about the incident. On November 9, crypto exchange Huobi and TRON founder Justin Sun, who is a member of its global advisory board, announced a willingness to provide a 1:1 exchange of TRX, BTT, JST, SUN, and HT tokens for FTX’s affected users if the platform is unable to do so itself. As a result, the rate of Huobi’s native token on FTX jumped by 581% in 24 hours.

On November 9, CoinGecko provided data on a 3% decline in the rate of the USDT stablecoin from the Tether issuer. The company denied that the asset was depegged from the dollar, the aggregator’s team also explained that the reason for the incorrect display of the rate was a technical failure when connecting the API interface.
