Point on the chain revealed today that a dormant whale, later identified as TRON founder Justin Sun, has been making large deposits on Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange. Sun’s deposits, totaling a staggering $21 million across four assets, have raised eyebrows and questions about potential market implications.
The deposits included a whopping 93,979 AAVE tokens, worth $11.26 million, and 3,800 MKR tokens, worth $9.3 million, among others. This sudden influx of assets, especially from a prominent figure like Sun, has sparked speculation about the motives behind such a move.

Cryptocurrency analysts often interpret large deposits on exchanges as a bearish signal, indicating an intention to sell or “dump” the assets. The basis for this interpretation lies in the notion that individuals or entities are depositing tokens on exchanges with the intention of liquidating their holdings, which could drive down prices due to increased supply.
Given Sun’s history and the significant amounts involved, many in the crypto community are wondering if its actions indicate an imminent dumping of these assets. Because Sun’s reputation precedes it, its market maneuvers tend to attract a lot of attention and scrutiny.

Ethereum, whose ecosystem includes most of the tokens contributed by Sun on Binance, is also in the red. The top altcoin on the market is now valued at $3,669.
The collision of events and market conjecture begs the question: Is this a strategic move ahead of a market crash, or does the TRON founder have other plans in mind?
