The founder of TRON, Justin Sun, responded on the X platform to the ruling of the Dubai Digital Economy Court, expressing gratitude for the court's issuance of a freezing order to protect the rights of TUSD holders for the first time globally. He wrote in a tweet: "Justice may be delayed, but it will never be absent."The freezing order involves $456 million in funds related to Justin Sun's rescue of TrueUSD issuer Techteryx. The Dubai Digital Economy Court noted in its ruling that there are "serious issues that need to be examined" regarding Techteryx and determined that the funds in question should be held in trust to prevent improper transfer or concealment of assets. The funds have been controversial due to issues with TrueUSD's reserve shortfall, involving the Dubai trade financing company Aria Commodities DMCC.The incident dates back to between 2021 and 2022, when part of TrueUSD's reserve funds flowed into Aria through the Hong Kong trustee First Digital Trust (FDT). Techteryx alleged that these transfers violated custodial terms, converting the original cash reserves into long-term loans and private transactions. Justin Sun held a press conference in Hong Kong in April 2025, accusing financial institutions including First Digital Trust Limited (FDT) and Legacy Trust Company Limited (Legacy Trust), as well as a private company in Dubai, of illegally misappropriating $456 million in fiat reserves for TUSD.

The Dubai court has frozen $456 million in funds related to Sun Yuchen's rescue of the TrueUSD issuer Techteryx, as its reserves were allegedly transferred in violation to the Dubai company Aria Commodities. The court found "signs of trust breach."

ChainCatcher message, First Digital issued an official statement on social media: "Today, Justin Sun's accusations against FDT at the press conference are unfounded. We firmly deny any claims regarding FDT's alleged involvement in coordinating plans or misappropriating funds. We want to emphasize that these accusations are completely baseless and factually incorrect.FDT acts solely as an intermediary, executing transactions at the direction of Techteryx and its authorized representatives. FDT has not, and is not obligated to, independently assess or advise on Techteryx's investments. We have never moved or invested funds without explicit written instructions from Techteryx or its authorized representatives. All reserve assets are deployed strictly according to the written instructions provided by Techteryx and its authorized representatives at the time. We have records of all written instructions as evidence.Regarding Techteryx's request for fund redemption, ARIA has expressed its anti-money laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) concerns regarding the acquisition transaction between TrueCoin and Techteryx, as well as the identity of Techteryx's ultimate beneficial owners. As of today, Techteryx has refused to provide the information requested by ARIA.We reiterate that FDT remains fully solvent, with each FDUSD fully backed by cash and cash equivalents at a 1:1 ratio. The exact ISIN numbers of all reserve assets supporting FDUSD are clearly listed in our certification report and are available for public verification. We are processing redemption requests as usual. We are seeking legal advice, and FDT will take legal action to protect its rights and reputation."

ChainCatcher news, Sun Yuchen stated at the press conference: "Techteryx came to me after the funds were misappropriated, 500 million dollars is not a lot for me, and I am also happy to help TUSD and users avoid its potential risks."

ChainCatcher news, according to CoinDesk, Tron founder Justin Sun provided crucial funding support for the TrueUSD (TUSD) stablecoin between 2023 and early 2024, addressing a reserve shortfall of nearly $456 million.According to court documents in Hong Kong, the reserves of TUSD issuer Techteryx became unrecoverable after being invested in Aria-related entities, leading to a severe liquidity crisis. Although Justin Sun publicly stated that he only served in an advisory role, he actually provided emergency funding support during the crisis, allowing TUSD to continue meeting user redemption demands.The case also involves allegations against First Digital Trust for unauthorized fund transfers to a Dubai entity, as well as multiple challenges faced by TUSD, including regulatory issues and partner bankruptcies in the United States.
