TRON spokesperson: It is completely wrong to believe that Tron or Ethereum has control over entities using corresponding technologies.

In response to Circle-related reports, a TRON spokesperson said: "We do not comment on these issues involving the behavior of unrelated third parties. Like all public blockchains, the TRON blockchain is a technology. Any Technology can theoretically be used for suspicious activities. For example, the U.S. dollar, as a legal currency, is often used for money laundering. Therefore, it is completely wrong to believe that TRON or Ethereum has control over entities using the corresponding technology.” Justin Sun, the founder of TRON, also made relevant responses on social media before. Justin Sun said: "TRON is a decentralized protocol, similar to Bitcoin and Ethereum, with nodes running around the world. Global Super Representatives Responsible for running this protocol. While we are committed to combating terrorist financing by integrating various analytical projects and partners, our top priority remains to remain decentralized, ensure everyone’s assets are safe, and as always provide instant, affordable Affordable and reliable transactions. I am extremely grateful to everyone in our industry who contributes to the widespread adoption of cryptocurrencies.” Previously, in a letter to U.S. Senators Sherrod Brown and Elizabeth Warren, Circle refuted the so-called false accusations that it facilitated illegal financial activities. It also said it does not provide banking services to Justin Sun, the TRON Foundation or Huobi, now renamed HTX. "Circle does not assist or finance Hamas (or any other illegal actor), directly or indirectly," the company said in the letter. "Circle also does not provide banking services to Justin Sun. Mr. Sun or any entity owned or controlled by Mr. Sun , including the Tron Foundation or HTX, currently does not have an account with Circle.” The letter continued: "To date, the U.S. government has not specifically designated Mr. Sun or his entities as Specially Designated Nationals. Nonetheless, in February 2023, Circle terminated all accounts held by Mr. Sun and his affiliates."
