Filecoin official: 1.5 million FIL tokens are used by market makers to stabilize the currency price, and the team did not sell them

According to BlockBeats, on October 16, after the launch of the Filecoin mainnet, a community member revealed that an unknown account suddenly obtained 1.5 million FIL tokens on October 15 and transferred 800,000 FIL to the Huobi trading platform. Under normal circumstances, according to the unlocking plan, early investors, officials and miners should only unlock 500,000 FIL on the first day. Combined with the plunge in the price of FIL tokens after the mainnet went online last night, many users questioned whether the team had sold them.

Later, Filecoin official members responded that the tokens were transferred to multiple trading platforms, not just Huobi. The tokens were used by market makers to maintain price stability within a few hours of the mainnet launch. The Filecoin official team did not sell the tokens.

According to Lvdong’s report last night, the Filecoin mainnet was officially launched on October 15. The Filecoin network has now entered the post-launch monitoring period to ensure the normal operation of the network.
