What else is known about FTX’s plans? The launch of its own platform will allow gaming companies to use FTX’s infrastructure to issue tokens and NFTs, with further integration of the new assets type into the gaming environment. A roadmap of the project is not yet known, but FTX expects the platform to be in high demand from gaming companies.
