Our Mission
FTX is a cryptocurrency exchange built by traders, for traders. FTX offers innovative products including industry-first derivatives. We strive to build a platform powerful enough for professional trading firms and intuitive enough for first-time users.
Our Product
Futures
FTX has quarterly and perpetual futures on the most important cryptocurrencies. We’ve designed our futures engine from the ground up, setting a new standard for the industry.
Our liquidation engine and backstop liquidity provider system provide a three-step solution to handle margin calls, limiting clawbacks. Our centralized collateral wallet makes trading on FTX simple and efficient. And we’ve listed futures on coins the rest of the industry has neglected including USDT, BNB, and LEO.
We've also listed Index Futures, allowing users to trade entire sectors of the cryptocurrency ecosystem--from large-cap coins to exchange tokens to regional baskets--at once.
Leveraged Tokens
FTX’s leveraged tokens provide a clean, automated way for users to get leverage. Our BULL and BEAR tokens automatically manage their exposure, rebalancing daily to maintain their target leverage and prevent liquidations.
With leveraged tokens, you don’t need to micromanage your collateral or risk. And best of all, they’re ERC20 tokens, allowing you to withdraw them from the platform and trade them on your favorite spot venue.
MOVE
FTX has entered the options space with its industry-first MOVE contracts. MOVE contracts are futures that expire to the raw amount BTC moves in a time period, letting users trade on the amount bitcoin is going to move without having to know the direction.
OTC
24/7 OTC services offered by Alameda Research. Users can receive quotes on over 20 coins instantly and trade them, accessing deep liquidity with no fees.
FTT
FTT is the FTX ecosystem utility token. Holders of FTT receive numerous benefits, including:
- Weekly buying and burning of fees
- Lower FTX trading fees
- Collateral for futures trading
- Socialized gains from the insurance fund
Liquidity
FTX was incubated by Alameda Research Ltd., a top cryptocurrency liquidity provider. FTX has had industry-leading orderbooks from day one.
Prediction Markets
FTX even offers some tokens allowing users to predict results such as elections for entertainment purposes.
