FTX was a centralized cryptocurrency derivatives exchange based in the Bahamas. It offered advanced trading options including margin and futures trading, stocks, leveraged tokens, volatility products, and forex. FTX also provided staking options and white label solutions and was known for its extensive range of cryptocurrency and stock markets.
FTX functioned as a traditional, centralized exchange platform, not relying on blockchain technology or consensus mechanisms such as Proof of Work or Proof of Stake. Instead, FTX utilized server-based architecture to manage trades and transactions internally, offering various trading instruments such as futures, leveraged tokens, and spot markets. FTX also provided a platform for NFT trading and set itself apart through unique products like MOVE contracts that allowed users to speculate on price movements over specific time periods.
Before its collapse, FTX had several potential use cases across various sectors:
FTX was founded by Sam Bankman-Fried and Gary Wang in April 2019. It launched in May 2019, and quickly rose to prominence, acquiring Blockfolio and securing substantial funding from major investors. FTX became notable for high-profile marketing and partnerships, including naming rights for sports arenas and celebrity endorsements. However, in 2022, issues with affiliated entity Alameda Research and a leaked balance sheet led to a loss of public confidence, triggering a suspension of operations and eventual bankruptcy. FTX filed for bankruptcy in November 2022, with legal proceedings following for its founder, and significant asset recovery processes initiated. The collapse has had lasting impacts on the cryptocurrency market and trust levels in centralized exchange platforms.
