<p>Tron founder Justin Sun has transferred $35 million worth of tokens to Binance. This action comes as Curve Finance struggles to recover from a sharp decline in its token value and liquidity challenges.</p> 
<p>Recently, the Curve (CRV) token <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/crv-token-drops-over-34-after-curve-fi-founder-liquidation-new-broke/">dropped by 34%, leading</a> to the liquidation of 100 million CRV worth of loan collateral from its founder Michael Egorov. Sun’s strategic move suggests he might inject liquidity into Curve Finance to help stabilize the DeFi giant.</p>

<p>Additionally, a separate transfer included $6.22 million worth of Curve (CRV) tokens, with $1.96 million of CRV remaining.</p> 
<p>Curve Finance has been in crisis following a 34% drop in the CRV token value, which led to the liquidation of $100 million worth of loan collateral posted by its founder, Michael Egorov.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>This plummet has left the Curve ecosystem struggling, with Egorov’s loan portfolio on the verge of liquidation of 371 million CRV loans. The loans, backed primarily by stablecoins like crvUSD, were collateralized by $140 million in CRV.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-sun-and-curve">Sun and Curve </h2> 
<p>This isn’t the first time Justin Sun has intervened during a Curve Finance crisis. Following last year’s Vyper exploit, Sun provided a stablecoin liquidity injection to stabilize the situation. His recent $35 million transfer to Binance suggests he may be preparing to offer similar support again.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>By acquiring CRV at a discounted rate and moving an array of DeFi tokens to Binance, Sun seems poised to support Curve Finance’s liquidity and reduce the impacts of Egorov’s substantial loan collateralization.</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-curve-price-recovery">Curve Price Recovery</h2> 
<p>Sun’s recent acquisitions and transfers suggest he is positioning himself to support Curve Finance’s liquidity. While the cryptocurrency market has recovered by 22% since the initial crash, the CRV token has not regained its $0.40 value.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>As of now, the CRV token is <a href="https://markets.coinpedia.org/curve-dao-token/">trading at $0.33</a>, reflecting a surge of 11.75% in the last 24 hours, with a market cap of $418 million.</p>
