Justin Sun, the founder of the Tron network, has an involvement in both exchanges. He was part of an investor group which acquired Poloniex in 2019 and is now an adviser to Huobi.
“We would like to state for the record that rumors stating Huobi will soon merge with Poloniex are categorically untrue," Huobi said in an emailed statement.
"Huobi and Poloniex are operating independently now.”
