Justin Sun said that he did not plan to take part in any exchange promotions and that the transfer of TUSD earlier was just a part of providing liquidity between major TUSD exchanges.

Binance LaunchPool are meant as air drops for our retail users, not just for a few whales.

Binance Introduced SUI Farming on Launchpool
Binance announced a new project called SUI token on April 30. Users can earn SUI tokens by staking their BNB and TUSD coins into different pools for two days only. The SUI token is a type of digital asset on the DPoS layer 1 blockchain Sui.
Binance will allow trading of SUI token against different cryptocurrencies like BTC, USDT, TUSD, and BNB once the token has sufficient liquidity on its platform. The exchange will not charge any maker fees for the SUI/TUSD trading pair until further notice.
