Justin Sun, who reportedly owns both Poloniex and Huobi exchanges, claims to be able to merge the two platforms in the future.
In an interview with TheBlock, TRON founder Justin Sun revealed his latest plans after taking over cryptocurrency exchange Huobi.
When asked to confirm earlier rumors that Poloniex could soon merge with Huobi, Sun said the two exchanges are “still operating independently,” but this is a possibility “that could happen in the future.”
The Poloniex exchange, which Justin Sun acquired from Circle in 2019, will merge with his recently acquired Huobi exchange, according to sources familiar with the matter. Coingecko shows that Poloniex’s daily spot trading volume is only 1/10 of Huobi’s. Exclusive
