Justin Sun Withdraws Millions From Aave’s Lending Pools

Is Justin Sun withdrawing millions of dollars from a lending pool?

An address that has been labeled as belonging to Justin Sun has withdrawn more than one hundred million dollars worth of USDT stablecoins from Aave Protocol V2 in a series of transactions, according to information that was made public on Monday by PeckShieldAlert, a company that specializes in blockchain security and data analytics. PeckShieldAlert is a company that focuses on blockchain security and data analytics.

The founder of Tron removed a total of $100 million worth of USDT tokens from the Aave Protocol V2 and sent them to an address that was sponsored by the cryptocurrency exchange platform Poloniex. Each of the two transactions was for a separate amount of $50 million, so the total number of USDT tokens removed was $100 million.

Because of this, the total value of the USDT locked up in the Aave Protocol V2 pool increased to $300 million from its prior level of $200 million following Sun’s withdrawal. This was a direct consequence of what happened.

The recent ban that Aave put on Tron founder’s address after Tornado Cash ETH payment is presumably connected to why such a huge number of withdrawals were made in such a short period. Aave is the one who issued the prohibition. After receiving 0.1 ETH in a completely random transaction from the cryptocurrency mixer Tornado Cash, which was on the blacklist, Aave suspended Justin Sun’s address in August. After making contact with Stani Kulechov, the founder of the company and currently serving as its chief executive officer, Justin Sun was able to get his Aave account brought back up.

Users who had interacted with Tornado Cash were labeled as “sanctioned” and therefore banned from DeFi protocols such as Aave, Uniswap, Ren, Oasis, balancer, and TRM Labs, in addition to other cryptocurrency platforms, after the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the United States issued restrictions against Tornado Cash. A number of decentralized applications running on the Ethereum network made updates to their source code that revoked access from addresses that

Sanctions were imposed not only on addresses that were known to be affiliated with Russia but also on any users, including those who were located in the United States, and who had ever received cash from a Tornado Cash address. In addition, addresses that were known to be affiliated with Russia were singled out for special attention.

It is also not the first time that Tron’s founder has taken a withdrawal from a cryptocurrency exchange that is considered to be of such a substantial amount. A significant number of cryptocurrencies that were worth billions of dollars were taken out of the lending pools on the DeFi lending website Aave by Sun in the month of October of the previous year. Because of the withdrawals, the platform experienced a major loss in its liquidity, which resulted in significantly increased interest rates. As a consequence of this, the platform’s interest rates also increased significantly.

The withdrawal was thought to be related to concerns among members of the DeFi community over the suspicion that Aave was vulnerable to the same ‘exploit’ as the one that impacted DeFi protocol Cream Finance earlier in that month, which resulted in the theft of cryptocurrencies worth a total of $130 million.
