What is known about FTX? It is a centralized crypto exchange headquartered in the Bahamas. It was founded in 2018 by trader Sam Bankman-Fried and programmer Gary Wang. As of 2022, the platform has more than one million registered users. There are 332 coins and 520 currency pairs on the platform. The daily trading volume as of October 27 is $2,13 billion, according to CoinGecko. The native token FTT is trading at $24,51, having gained 0,6% per day.

The cards are already available in the US and will soon be launched in more than 40 countries in Latin America, Europe, and Asia. Bankman-Fried also said that the launch of spot trading in pairs with the token of the Cardano (ADA) network is already on the platform’s roadmap.
