<p>Following the heavy crypto sell-off in the last 24 hours that resulted in the forced liquidation of more than $1 billion from leveraged traders, Justin Sun, the founder of the Tron (TRX) network, has announced a relief plan. In an X announcement, Sun announced that he has set aside $1 billion to ensure the continued growth and development of the crypto and web3 industry.</p>

 <p>“We should reject FUD and keep building. That’s why we’re creating a $1 billion fund to combat FUD, invest more, and provide liquidity,” Sun <a href="https://x.com/justinsuntron/status/1820386648200245409?s=46" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">noted</a>.</p>

<p>As the crypto industry followed major global stock indexes in heavy selloffs, the Ethereum market registered significant high liquidations, with more than $353 million rekt in the past 24 hours. Consequently, rumors of Justin Sun’s forced liquidation significantly increased on Monday.&nbsp;</p>
<p>However, Sun demystified the rumors as false since he rarely engages in leveraged trading. The crypto billionaire noted that he opts to engage in staking, running nodes, working on projects, and helping project teams provide liquidity.</p>
<p>Instead, on-chain data shows that Sun’s crypto portfolio has suffered unrealized losses of nearly $300 million.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Since Feb 8, 2024, Sun has accumulated 377,590 $ETH, worth about $1.15 billion, through 3 wallets.</p>
