Justin Sun Starts Trading Ethereum Potential Hard Fork Tokens Earlier Than Scheduled
On Sunday, August 7th, Justin Sun surprised traders as he opened up trading for “potential forked” Ethereum (ETH) tokens ETHW and ETHS via his Poloniex crypto exchange, a full day earlier than originally scheduled.
“We planned to go live on August 8th, but after strong community demand, we managed to deliver the product 18 hours early to go live on August 7th at 4 pm SGT,” tweeted Sun, the founder of the Singapore-based Tron.
Furthermore, Sun’s company offers zero trading fees on all the ETHW/ETHS trading pairs.
ETHW and ETHS trading is now live on @Poloniex! We planned to go live on August 8th, but after strong community demand, we managed to deliver the product 18 hours early to go live on August 7th 4pm SGT! Enjoy trading! https://t.co/i09TeskJvgResponding to Criticism from Ethereum Founder Vitalik Buterin— H.E. Justin Sun (@justinsuntron) August 7, 2022
In another tweet, Sun referenced a statement made by Ethereum Co-Founder Vitalik Buterin, about how “people are trying to make a quick buck” by pushing for a hard fork of ETH, saying: “I need to clarify that Poloniex supports ETH hard fork solely for the public good and not for profit at all.”
Sun added: "If the hard fork succeeds, everyone on Ethereum will get ETHW tokens, without any pre-mining.” He went on to insist that “Vitalik will get exactly the same proportion of ETHW as I and everyone do.”
