Even the fact that fiscal authorities require crypto-markets to register users who invest in cryptocurrencies did not dim his joy.
At the same time, he claims that Huobi is registered in the Seychelles and thus is not required to provide customer information.
And Justin Sun dreams that the TRON blockchain will be adopted in China at the national level.
What else is there to say? Justin Sun is like Jean-Claude Van Damme, but for crypto. 
Conor Grogan, Head of Product Business Operations at Coinbase, called attention to dubious transactions carried out by anonymous wallets that were purchasing tokens minutes before Binance listing announcements and selling them during the pump.
The purchase of Rar, ERN, TORN, and RAMP tokens are examples of such transactions. A $100,000 to $900,000 worth of transactions were made. The "trader" earned several million dollars over the course of several transactions.

According to the Digital Property Protection and Law Enforcement Act, validators must cancel transactions and return the funds to the sender or transfer them to the state Treasury if ordered by the state's attorney. The same goes for smart contracts, which must be rescinded upon a valid court request.

Next month, The Open Network validators plan to vote on freezing 195 inactive addresses.
These addresses hold more than 1 billion TON coins, which amounts to $2.5 billion USD. If this decision is made, the blocking will last for 4 years and the owners of these wallets will not be able to make any transactions during this period.
A forced hold for long-term holders? It's interesting, but short term holders could definitely use some freezing! 
Ethereum supporters are looking forward to the upcoming crypto spring. Another network update, dubbed Shanghai Fork, is scheduled for March.

The matter is that Coinbase may get additional revenue of about $225-$545 million per year.
