<p>Lookonchain’s analysis revealed a series of transactions indicating a flow of funds between HTX and Binance, originating from the same wallet address. The firm highlighted a notable coincidence where large withdrawals from HTX corresponded with substantial deposits into Binance, further fueling speculation about the identity behind the wallet address “TWGHNc.” While Lookonchain emphasized that the association with Justin Sun remains speculative, the patterns observed on-chain raise intriguing questions about the nature of the transactions.</p>
