Introduction
The Sui Foundation, the organization building out the Sui crypto network, has denied selling staking rewards on the Binance crypto exchange. The denial comes after some users on social media alleged that the foundation had sold locked staking rewards in order to raise funds.
The Allegations
The allegations against the Sui Foundation first surfaced on Twitter on June 23, 2023. A user named @CryptoWhale tweeted that the foundation had sold 100 million SUI tokens on Binance. The tweet was accompanied by a screenshot of a Binance order book that showed a large sell order for SUI tokens.
The tweet quickly went viral, and other users began to share their own suspicions about the Sui Foundation. Some users alleged that the foundation had sold the locked staking rewards in order to raise funds to cover its operating expenses. Others alleged that the foundation was trying to manipulate the price of SUI tokens.
The Denial
The Sui Foundation responded to the allegations on Twitter on June 24, 2023. The foundation denied selling any locked staking rewards, and it said that it was committed to transparency and compliance.
“Sui Foundation has not sold staking rewards or any other tokens from locked and non-circulating staked SUI on Binance or otherwise,” the foundation wrote in a tweet. “All insider token allocations remain subject to and compliant with their lock ups and other restrictions on transfer.”
The foundation also said that it was investigating the allegations and that it would take “appropriate action” if it found that any of its employees had violated the foundation’s policies.
The Investigation
The Sui Foundation is still investigating the allegations against it. The foundation has said that it will release a full report on its findings once the investigation is complete.
