rewrite this title BitForex Ex-CEO Denies Trump Link, Insider BTC Trade

A crypto researcher using the name Eye had suggested Jin was behind a large position that bet on Bitcoin’s price going down.

The claim centered on a specific crypto wallet. According to Eye, that wallet was used to place a large short trade on Bitcoin before the US President announced a steep import tax on Chinese goods.

Jin addressed the matter through a post on X on October 13, where he denied all involvement.

He also stated that he has no relationship with the Trump family and rejected the idea that he had any inside knowledge of the tariff announcement.

Additionally, Eye claimed Jin had control over a wallet with more than 100,000 BTC in trading power.

Jin responded by saying the wallet in question belonged to a client, not him. He also criticized Changpeng Zhao for reposting Eye’s claims, as it spread private information to millions of followers without verifying the facts.

Despite the wallet’s role in a trade estimated at $735 million, not everyone agreed with Eye’s conclusions. Another crypto analyst, ZachXBT, suggested that someone connected to Jin was more likely responsible.

Meanwhile, a crypto trader recently turned a $3,000 investment into about $2 million after Zhao shared a new meme token on the BNB Chain called “4.” How? Read the full story.
