FTX Token FTT Price Doubles

The new CEO of FTX, John J. Ray III, had earlier said efforts were on to reclaim value for creditors and consumers. CoinGape reported that latest documents around lawyer fee statements indicated possibility of restarting the exchange. A fee statement from February 2023 suggested that the company was working towards relaunching the exchange. Meanwhile, the FTX Token (FTT) price almost doubled with the news of the exchange’s revival plans.

At $2.70, the current FTT price is still way below the $25 range the token maintained before the FTX collapse unfolded in November 2022. Not just the Sam Bankman-Fried companies, but the collapse had an umbrella effect on the entire crypto ecosystem across the world. However, the whereabouts of customer losses due to the collapse is still yet to be known. A January 2023 Reuters report quoted FTX lawyers of saying the crypto exchange recovered over $5 million in liquid assets.
