What is FTX Token?

FTX Token (FTT) is the backbone of the FTX ecosystem – the native cryptocurrency token of the crypto derivatives trading platform FTX, launched on May 8th, 2019. It was developed to enlarge network effects and demand. The terms “FTT Token” and “FTT” are sometimes used interchangeably. It can be used to reduce trading fees on the exchange, serve as collateral against futures positions or be staked to earn interest and get a chance to win NFTs.

FTT is an ERC-20-compatible exchange token with a total supply of about 345 million. ERC20 tokens are digital coins that don’t run on their own blockchain: rather, they’re issued on the Ethereum network. FTX Exchange mainly features futures, leveraged tokens, options and spot markets.

How does FTX Token (FTT) work?

Traders can use the FTT token to benefit from features such as lower trading fees on the exchange, enabling tighter trading spreads for OTC trades.

Some of the net gain gets distributed amongst FTT token holders.
