TRX’s USD Exchange Rate Jumps 270% Higher on FTX After Exchange Brokers Deal With Tron

On Thursday, at approximately 12:48 p.m. (ET), the embattled exchange FTX revealed that it has created a special facility with Tron. The deal allows holders of specific Tron-based coins to withdraw the tokens to external wallets on a 1:1 ratio. While coin market aggregation sites say tron tapped a high of $0.06 per token on Thursday, tron reached a high of $2.49 per coin against the U.S. dollar on FTX.

Tron Exchange Rate Balloons on FTX After Special Facility Established

The troubled crypto exchange FTX has been the center of a lot of confusion and speculation since the world’s largest crypto exchange Binance explained it would be dumping all of its ftx (FTT) tokens. Four days later, FTX International has effectively paused withdrawals and the community suspects the exchange is insolvent.

However, on Nov. 10, 2022, Tron founder Justin Sun said his team was working around the clock to help alleviate the situation with FTX. Sun also remarked that he is taking steps to help FTX. Tron’s founder stated:

This is only the initial step taken towards a wholistic solution that is being crafted to resuscitate and return to normalcy for all FTX users. I greatly appreciate the collaborative work between [FTX] teams.

Then at 12:48 p.m. (ET) on Thursday, FTX tweeted that it brokered a deal with Tron and that users would be allowed to withdraw specific Tron-based tokens.

“We are pleased to announce that we have reached an agreement with Tron to establish a special facility to allow holders of TRX, BTT, JST, SUN, and HT to swap assets from FTX 1:1 to external wallets,” the exchange explained.

TRX/USDT 30-minute chart via FTX on Nov. 10, 2022, at 8:08 p.m. (ET). TRX is currently exchanging hands for 0.258 USDT or 0.288 nominal U.S. dollars per unit, depending on the trading pair. At the time of writing, tron’s actual exchange rate is $0.057 per unit on every other exchange.

The deal with Tron is also mentioned on ftx.com and the website notes that it is not onboarding new customers and withdrawals are currently paused. Users are still trading on FTX and the tokens TRX, BTT, JST, SUN, and HT are seeing a lot of action.

Tron (TRX) reached $2.49 per token on the exchange, according to the web portal’s trading engine. At the time of writing, at 8:00 p.m. (ET) on Thursday, TRX is exchanging hands for $0.288 per unit on FTX.

While the Tron-based tokens may be a means to withdraw for FTX users, the deal is not so sweet for people swapping other coins to exit with tron (TRX). For instance, $0.288 per unit is 80.20% higher than the current global TRX exchange rate of $0.057 per unit.

The higher TRX goes on FTX, the worse the losses get for those attempting to escape FTX’s clutches in this manner. The Tron-based token SUN has also jumped 168.87% higher on FTX, and the coin JST jumped a whopping 1,346.57% in 24 hours on the exchange.
