FTX Token

FTX is a cryptocurrency exchange that is suitable for both professional trading firms and first-time users. Founded in 2019 by Sam Bankman-Fried and Gary Wang, FTX offers industry-first derivatives – products whose value is determined by an underlying asset – as well as options, volatility products, and leveraged tokens, which are ERC-20 assets that provide users with leveraged exposure to cryptocurrency markets. FTX aims to be carbon neutral, supports carbon removal solutions, and devotes resources to various environmental projects. Unlike existing futures exchanges, FTX derivatives are stablecoin-settled and only require the use of one margin wallet, preventing the liquidation of positions and making it easier for users to rebalance. Additionally, futures exchanges often require users to return money that they’ve been paid, which is known as a clawback. FTX uses a three-tiered liquidation model to reduce the likelihood of this occurring: closing positions, providing to accounts in danger of bankruptcy, and leveraging the backstop liquidity fund to prevent customer losses. FTT is the native token of the FTX ecosystem. Approximately one third of fees generated on FTX are used to repurchase – and then burn – FTT, and as of May 2022, almost 18 million FTT tokens have been burned. The FTT token entitles holders to lower trading fees, can be used as collateral for futures positions, and can provide holders with tighter spreads for over-the-counter (OTC) trades.
