The Sui Foundation has recently addressed swirling rumors and allegations concerning insider trading linked to a substantial $400 million sale of SUI tokens during a recent price surge. In a detailed post dated October 14 on the social platform X, the Foundation clarified its position and the circumstances surrounding the token transactions.
Clarification on Token Sale
The Foundation categorically denied any premature selling or violations of lock-up agreements by insiders, which include employees of the Foundation, Mysten Labs and its founders, as well as investors of Mysten Labs. The statement emphasized, “No insiders have sold $400 million worth of tokens during this period, either individually or collectively.”
It was further explained that the sale in question might relate to a wallet managed by an “infrastructure partner,” which is still under a strict lockup schedule. The Foundation reassured stakeholders that this partner has complied fully with all lockup conditions as enforced.
Community Skepticism and Criticism
Despite the Foundation’s efforts to clear the air, some community members remain unconvinced. Kyle Samani, Managing Partner at Multicoin Capital, expressed his concerns about the nature of the Foundation’s disclosures. He criticized the statement for being “written as deceptively as possible,” indicating a lingering distrust in some quarters of the crypto community.
This incident highlights the challenges and scrutiny faced by entities in the blockchain and cryptocurrency sectors, especially regarding transparency and the management of insider information.
