Huobi Lists FUD Token Backed by FTX Users’ Debt
Huobi, a major cryptocurrency exchange, has listed a new altcoin project named FTX Users’ Debt (FUD) as per a recent company announcement.
This new addition to the platform was supported with the approval of Justin Sun, a well-known advisor to the exchange and the founder of Tron (TRX).
FTX, a cryptocurrency exchange, went bankrupt last year, and its executives were accused of defrauding investors and mismanaging billions of dollars worth of user funds. The FUD token is being issued by DebtDAO, a crypto creditor, with an initial supply of 20 million tokens and a price tag of $1 each. This represents approximately 2% of FTX’s debt. However, DebtDAO has stated that the supply of the FUD token will grow and be distributed to the holders of the token once FTX confirms more of its debt.

According to DebtDAO, they have been notified of a debt amount of approximately $100 million by FTX creditors. Once FTX confirms the actual debt amount through its database or official disclosure, DebtDAO will issue additional tokens proportional to the confirmed debt amount and distribute them through an airdrop to all FUD holders. With an initial supply and circulation of 20 million FUD tokens, each token is valued at $1.
