What other data is known? According to CoinCarp, one address controls 59,55% of FTT’s total supply. In addition, an unknown hacker owns 45,85 million exchange tokens, which is 13,94% of the total amount in circulation.

FTT is currently most actively traded on Binance, Mexc Global, KuCoin, Gate, and SushiSwap.

On December 9, FTT surged by 44% after a proposal to restart the exchange came from Ran Neuner, the host of CNBC’s Crypto Trader. At the time, the platform’s founder and former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried supported it and called it “productive.” After being extradited from the Bahamas to the US, Bankman-Fried was released on $250 million bail. At a January 4 hearing, he refused to plead guilty to fraud and theft of investor funds.
