First Digital Trust has filed a lawsuit against Sun Yuchen for defamation allegations.

According to the Gate.io News bot, CoinDesk reported that First Digital Trust has filed a defamation lawsuit against Sun Yuchen in the Hong Kong High Court over his accusation of “insolvency.” The case number is HCA 680.

First Digital Trust has requested the court to issue an injunction to restrict Sun Yuchen from making relevant statements, while also demanding him to release a retraction statement and provide compensation. Previously, this allegation caused a brief de-pegging of the stablecoin FDUSD issued by First Digital on April 3, which has since returned to normal.

Sun Yuchen continued to make fraud allegations against the company at a press conference held in Hong Kong, calling for regulatory reform. The date for the preliminary hearing in this case has not yet been set.
