Get the latest news on FTX! FTX was a major crypto exchange founded by Sam Bankman-Fried and Gary Wang in 2019. Its native (FTT) token served multiple roles within the FTX ecosystem, such as reducing exchange fees for users. FTX also purchased a certain amount of FTT each week and burned it to control inflation.
In November 2022, FTX crashed due to a liquidity crisis, financial mismanagement and mass withdrawal of funds by rattled investors. On Nov. 11, 2022, FTX filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, with Bankman-Fried sentenced to 25 years in prison in March 2024.
