FTX US reached a valuation of $8 billion

The crypto exchange raised $400 million at a valuation of $8 billion from investors, including Japan's SoftBank Group Corp and Singapore's Temasek Holdings, as well as crypto investment firms such as Paradigm and Multicoin Capital. FTX US said it plans to use the funds to grow its user base, launch new businesses, and consider strategic investments and acquisitions. The company also plans to expand its 100-person workforce.

"What this raise means to us is that we are officially establishing ourselves on the stage of the largest competitors of cryptocurrency exchanges in the U.S. and signalling to the world that we are going to continue to expand very rapidly," said FTX US President Brett Harrison.

What is FTX US?

FTX.US is a cryptocurrency trading platform and a subsidiary of FTX. It was founded in 2020 to compete with leading crypto exchanges Coinbase and Binance. FTX US had an average daily volume of around $360 million in the third quarter, according to the company. The number of users increased by 52% compared to the previous quarter. The U.S. exchange started 2021 with about 10,000 customers and it finished the year with 1.2 million users.

In August 2021, FTX.US agreed to acquire U.S.-regulated crypto derivatives exchange and clearinghouse LedgerX for an undisclosed sum. The move allowed FTX.US to expand its product offering to include futures and options trading in the US. The exchange is also known for its multi-million dollar deals to attract a larger user base, such as the deal with the Miami Heat to rename their home arena FTX Arena, a commercial for the Super Bowl, a collaboration with champion F1 team Mercedes, and a partnership with Major League Baseball (MLB)

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
