Several crypto assets linked to Justin Sun, including Tron (TRX), Just (JST), Sun (SUN), BitTorrent Token (BTT), and Huobi Token (HT), have resumed trading on struggling crypto exchange FTX.

Sun revealed this in a Nov. 10 tweet, adding that his team was working on the withdrawal function.
Meanwhile, only TRX withdrawal is possible on FTX, as other TRON tokens can only be traded. This means that users who want to withdraw from FTX have to convert their assets to TRX.
TRX is trading at a higher rate on FTX than other exchanges. As of press time, TRX is up 13% on FTX, exchanging hands for $0.06. In comparison, TRX is trading for around $0.056 on KuCoin, and Binance-CryptoSlate data shows that the token declined by 10% over the last 24 hours.
The FTX website still states that it cannot process withdrawals as of press time.
Sun is working on a ‘solution’ for FTX
Sun claimed that the trade resumption was “only the initial step taken towards a wholistic solution that is being crafted to resuscitate and return to normalcy for all FTX users,” praising the exchange’s collaborative effort.”
The Tron founder had initially tweeted that he was working on a solution with the beleaguered crypto exchange to initiate a pathway forward –Sam Bankman-Fried retweeted the statement.
Further to my announcement to stand behind all Tron token (#TRX, #BTT, #JST, #SUN, #HT) holders on #FTX, we are putting together a solution together with #FTX to initiate a pathway forward. @FTX_Official

He noted that the “ongoing liquidity crunch, despite short term in nature, is harmful to the industry development and investors alike.”
In a separate post, Huobi and Tron DAO announced that they would support the exchange of TRON tokens on the FTX platform at a 1:1 ratio, even if withdrawal fails.
Users have been asked to complete a Google form to submit details about TRON tokens they hold on the struggling crypto platform.
The firm’s attempts to raise funds have been futile, and Binance walked away from acquiring it because of concerns over regulatory scrutiny and its handling of customers’ funds.
