All-Star Team of Industry Pioneers

FTX was built with a lot of features to differentiate the firm from its competitors, but its greatest strength lies in the team behind it. The team exists from leading Wall Street quant funds and tech companies: Jane Street, Optiver, Susquehanna, Facebook and Google.

The traditional secondary market is their bread and butter and they have backgrounds in equity derivatives trading Therefore they understand both how derivatives are traditionally designed, and what derivatives the market demands.

FTX is backed by Alameda Research, a ~$100million AUM quantitative cryptocurrency trading firm. Within a year, Alameda Research became the largest liquidity provider and market maker in the space. Alameda trades $600 million to 1 billion a day, accounts for roughly 5% of global volume and is ranked 2nd on the BitMEX leaderboard.
