A trust collapse involving $500 million is happening.
Sun Yuchen recently fired back during a media communication meeting: The TUSD reserves entrusted to the Hong Kong trust institution FDT by Techteryx were inexplicably transferred to Aria DMCC in Dubai without any authorization. This is not a small amount - a full 500 million dollars has just disappeared.
The absurdity of the situation lies in the fact that this money should have been lying in a secure account backing TUSD, but instead, it has turned into an "unauthorized financial transfer." FDT, as the trustee, should have been the last line of defense for the safety of the funds, but it now seems that this line of defense is essentially nonexistent.
Sun Yuchen's statement is quite direct: this is not a "management error," but rather a clear violation of regulations. Techteryx was kept in the dark and only discovered that the reserves were no longer in the designated location when the matter came to light.
This incident has sounded the alarm for the entire stablecoin industry—transparency of reserves, regulation of custodians, and the gray areas of cross-border capital flows; each link may hide fatal vulnerabilities. When the cost of trust becomes so high, who can still claim that their assets are absolutely safe?
