Ang FTX ay ONE sa pinakamalaking Cryptocurrency exchange bago ito naglaho, isang pangunahing manlalaro sa derivatives trading kabilang ang perpetual futures. Ang pagbagsak ng kumpanya ay pinasigla ng isang CoinDesk scoop noong Nobyembre 2022 na nagpapakita na ang balance sheet ng Alameda ay misteryosong puno ng FTT token na inisyu ng FTX – na nagdudulot ng pagdududa sa katatagang pinansyal ng Alameda at FTX.
