Goldman Sachs is in talks with FTX to integrate some aspects of its derivatives businesses
Goldman Sachs, an American multinational investment bank and financial services company, is reportedly in talks with cryptocurrency exchange FTX as it plans to integrate a few features of its derivatives businesses.
FTX enters TradFi
FTX US had recently confirmed the launch of FTX Stocks and acquired a US-regulated derivatives exchange. The firm allows few users to trade stocks in its beta phase. Now, according to a report from Barrons, Goldman Sachs aims to integrate certain features of the platform ranging from trading futures directly, introducing clients, and acting as an on-ramp to the exchange to providing capital top-ups for clients.The exchange giant is also seeking a license amendment from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) as it plans to act as both an exchange and middleman between counterparties in leveraged derivatives trades.
Currently, such a role is played by firms like Goldman Sachs, which acts as a “Future Commission Merchant,” or FCM. However, FTX continues to push for an entry in TradFi as the proposals for integration with the exchange from FCMs are “absolutely” heating up, as Brett Harrison, president of the FTX US. “We already have several FCMs committed to technically integrating with the exchange,” Harrison said.
“There are so many big names you can probably name.”A crucial point to note here is that even if FCMs approach FTX to integrate its derivatives services, it is uncertain if regulators will sign up for the same.
A meeting between SBF and Goldman Sachs chief
According to a report from Financial Times, Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder and CEO of crypto exchange FTX, met Goldman Sachs (GS) CEO David Solomon and the two firms discussed potential collaborations for the near future. As per FT, Goldman could work in an advisory capacity with FTX while also helping the crypto exchange work towards its goal of an Initial Public Offering or IPO.Continue reading by joining Cryptonary Pro

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
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.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
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.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
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.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
