PANews reported on January 17 that well-known crypto trader Eugene (0xENAS) responded to the controversy about his identity and trading behavior on the X platform, admitting that he is Darryl Wang, co-founder of Tangent Ventures, but emphasized that the 0xENAS account is his personal project, which only records personal transactions and has nothing to do with Tangent's angel investment activities.

In response to the allegations about $ENA, Eugene stated that he established a liquid position in $ENA in the third quarter of 2024 based on public information and personal analysis, and clearly disclosed his position in the article. He emphasized that Tangent's $ENA angel investment has had a multi-year lock-up period since 2023, and it is impossible to make a profit through trading, and the relevant allegations are nonsense. In addition, he denied using his influence to increase shipments or accept paid promotions, and pointed out that his trading records are completely transparent.

Eugene also mentioned that anonymous accounts have recently attempted to expose his identity and threaten his family. He condemned this and said that this is his only response to the relevant accusations and that he will continue to focus on the long-term development of the encryption field in the future.

According to previous news, sources said that trader Eugene is a co-founder of Tangent Ventures and a seed round investor in ENA tokens .
