FTX Exchange (FTT token) is a one of the largest leveraged crypto trading exchange platforms in the world and has partnered with THE largest exchange in the world, Binance. 

FTX offers derivative trading and was built for traders by Alameda Research, one of the largest trading companies and liquidity providers in cryptocurrency.  

Key Features

• Currently the tradeable assets include futures, spot, stocks, leveraged tokens, options, fiat currencies and crypto index futures – referred to as Shitcoin index 
• Lending is also possible, where you can specify the APR that you are prepared to lend at for the purpose of margin trading – a matching borrower seals the deal.
• Trading Fee discounts for holding the native FTT token
• Long or short 3x leveraged tokens – not recommended unless you are a seasoned pro.
