FTX's FTT Token Skyrockets on SEC Chair Gensler's Revival Remarks

The FTT token, native to FTX cryptocurrency exchange, has surged by 90% after comments from SEC chairman Gary Gensler, who emphasized the importance of operating within the law and building investor trust in the crypto industry. Several groups are reportedly vying to take over FTX following the guilty verdict of its founder, Sam Bankman-Fried, on seven criminal charges. The rally indicates optimism for a potential relaunch of FTX 2.0, although it remains uncertain if a native token would be used. FTT is currently trading at a seven-month high of $2.30, with trading volume exceeding $300 million in the past 24 hours.

FTX Token's Future Uncertain as Exchange Reopening Remains in Question

FTX's token FTT surged almost 100% after the exchange's lead bankruptcy attorney floated the possibility of reopening the exchange, but quickly reversed and sunk back down to a 19% loss over the past day. The token's value remains down more than 97% from its all-time high of $84.18, set in September of 2021. The possibility of FTT having any value in relation to FTX's reopening is unlikely due to legal liability, according to Ari Paul, the Chief Investment Officer and Managing Partner of BlockTower Capital.
