<p>Despite the turbulence, Justin Sun has addressed the speculation surrounding his financial positions. Sun and his team have refuted claims of significant liquidations, stating that they rarely engage in high-risk leveraged trading. Instead, their focus remains on more stable and constructive industry contributions, such as staking, running nodes, and supporting project liquidity.</p> 
<p>He reassured the community that the recent market fluctuations were not due to negative news and urged everyone to reject fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD). To further support the industry, Sun announced the creation of a $1 billion fund to combat FUD, increase investment, and provide liquidity.</p>
