Tron-based tokens such as JUST (JST) have surged as much as 1000% on FTX, as users scramble to find ways of extracting locked-up liquidity from the beleaguered exchange.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the time of writing, Tron\u2019s native token TRX is trading at roughly $0.33 on the FTX exchange, more than five times its current market price, according<\/a> to CoinGecko. <\/p>\n Meanwhile, BitTorrent (BTT), JUST (JST) and the Sun Token (SUN) are trading on the exchange at premiums ranging from 525% to 1,196% compared to the market price. As it stands, the prices are extremely volatile and constantly changing. <\/p>\n The overinflation of Tron-related tokens comes after a Nov. 10 deal was struck<\/a> which allows holders of assets such as TRX, BTT, JST, and SUN to withdraw funds. <\/p>\n This move has resulted in traders on FTX bidding up the price of Tron-related tokens to be able to recoup their locked funds. However, buying the tokens at the inflated price will likely lead to significant realized losses should they then sell it on any other exchange. <\/p>\n This means FTX customers get pennies on the dollar while Tron makes a ton of money.$TRX<\/a> will be bid up on FTX as that is the only way to get out, but once people withdraw it they’ll have to sell it at market price, taking a huge loss on their original holdings. https:\/\/t.co\/NkbXatmxXR<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 leoglisic.eth (@Leo_Glisic) November 10, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n FTX\u2019s website says that it is currently unable to process withdrawals, with customers in the Bahamas where the company is based understood to be the only ones that can withdraw from the exchange.\u00a0<\/p>\n Subsidiary FTX.US has also suggested that it could soon follow the same path<\/a> by halting withdrawals. <\/p>\n It is also worth noting that FTX disabled new deposits of Tron-based assets as the withdrawals went live. <\/p>\n Related: <\/em><\/strong>FTX turmoil increases scrutiny of industry, something institutional investors have been waiting for<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Twitter users such as @davidiach on Nov. 11 have mused that FTX users could potentially get around the Bahamian loophole in particular by getting a local citizen to buy a low-cap asset on FTX, have them dump it on the overseas user and then get the Bahamian to \u201dwithdraw the profits\u201d for them for a fee.\u00a0<\/p>\n One way to withdraw large amounts of money now is: \u2014 David Iach (,) (@davidiach) November 10, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n However the feasibility of such appears to be in doubt, given that the Securities Commission\u00a0of The\u00a0Bahamas<\/a> (SCB) froze the assets of FTX Digital Markets (FDM) and “related parties” on Nov. 10 and suspended the firm\u2019s registration in the country.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

1. Have a Bahamian buy a very low liquidity coin on FTX
2. Pump it hard and let the Bahamian dump that coin on you.
3. Have the Bahamian withdraw the profits and give you the money minus a fee. https:\/\/t.co\/Nei3zT3HMd<\/a><\/p>\n
