Introduction to FTT and Its Historical Background
FTT is the native token of the now-bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX. While FTX was operational, FTT holders enjoyed various benefits, including discounts on trading fees, participation in platform governance, earning yields through staking, and the ability to use FTT as collateral. The value of FTT was once closely tied to the growth of the FTX platform and market expectations regarding its future prospects.
FTT All-Time High (ATH)
FTT’s all-time high (ATH) was recorded on September 8 or 9, 2021, when its price briefly reached approximately $85.02.During this period, the FTX exchange was in a phase of rapid expansion, and market demand for and confidence in its platform token, FTT, reached their peak; the exchange’s market capitalization hit $9.7 billion on September 10, 2021.
Price Trends Before the FTX Collapse
Prior to the collapse of the FTX exchange in November 2022, the price of FTT had weathered several rounds of bull and bear markets. During the crypto market bull run from 2020 to 2021, the price of FTT rose sharply, reaching its all-time high in September 2021.Subsequently, against the backdrop of the overall downturn in the crypto market in 2022, the price of FTT also experienced a significant correction, though it remained at a relatively high level prior to the FTX collapse.
The FTX Collapse and the Plunge in FTT’s Price
The turning point for the FTT price occurred in November 2022, when the FTX exchange rapidly collapsed due to a liquidity crisis. This event dealt a devastating blow to the price of FTT:
- November 6, 2022: The price of FTT fell from approximately $24.01 to $22.27.
- November 8, 2022: FTX suspended withdrawals, and the price of FTT fell further to $22.08.
- November 13, 2022: Less than a week after FTX filed for bankruptcy, the price of FTT fell below $22 and rapidly plummeted to around $2.10.
This incident caused the price of FTT to plummet by more than 90% in just a few days, virtually eliminating its utility as an exchange token.
The Current Status and Future Outlook of FTT Following the Collapse
As of July 2026, the FTT token remains in circulation, but its price has been stuck at a low level for an extended period, fluctuating between approximately $0.19 and $0.21. This means the current price of FTT has fallen by about 99.77% from its all-time high.Its circulating supply is approximately 328.9 million FTT, with a current market capitalization of approximately $63.41 million to $68.80 million.
FTT’s future value now depends primarily on the progress of FTX’s bankruptcy proceedings, the extent of creditor recoveries, and whether the bankruptcy trustee can restructure or distribute assets in some form. Currently, FTT’s original function as an exchange token no longer exists, and its value is viewed more as a speculative asset tied to the FTX bankruptcy liquidation.
Where to Trade FTT
Although FTX has filed for bankruptcy, the FTT token can still be traded on some cryptocurrency exchanges. As of this writing, some platforms that support FTT trading include:
- Binance
- MEXC
- BingX
- CoinW

Please note that the cryptocurrency market is highly volatile, and investing in tokens such as FTT associated with bankrupt projects carries high risks. Be sure to conduct your own thorough market research and risk assessment.
