Binance exchange recorded a surge in its TUSD balance in the last 24 hours when it jumped from less than $500 million to over $2 billion. The leading crypto exchange has continued to record growth amid the alleged report of key executives quitting the company.
Consequently, Binance sees nearly $2 billion in inflows over the last 24 hours which can be ascribed to the boost in its TUSD balance. According to June 6 data from DeFillama, the exchange TUSD balance spiked from about $452 million to $2.65 billion.

Binance has successfully minted more TUSD tokens and also introduced more trading pairs including ADA/TUSD (Cardano against TrueUSD), LTC/TUSD (Litecoin against TrueUSD), and TUSD/BUSD (TrueUSD against Binance USD).
