show moreIn a significant development in the cryptocurrency world, the FTT token, associated with the defunct FTX exchange, has seen a remarkable 90% price surge. This increase follows comments from U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Gary Gensler, who hinted at the possibility of reviving FTX under new leadership.
Gensler's remarks, made at the DC Fintech Week, suggested that if anyone, including Tom Farley, a former president of the New York Stock Exchange, wanted to revive FTX, they should do so "within the law." This means ensuring proper disclosures, building investor trust, and avoiding practices like commingling customer assets or using them for personal gain.
The potential for an FTX reboot has been a topic of discussion for some time. In January, John J. Ray III, who oversaw Enron's bankruptcy and was appointed CEO of FTX after its collapse, even floated the idea of restarting the exchange. Ray established a task force to explore the possibility of relaunching FTX.com, the primary international exchange operated by the company.
However, not everyone is optimistic about the prospects of a rejuvenated FTX. Thomas Braziel, founder of 117 Partners, cast doubt on whether a revived FTX would succeed, stating that no buyer or relaunch partner would use or include FTT tokens.

Despite his efforts to build FTX into a major player in the cryptocurrency market, the exchange's collapse in November 2022 led to widespread financial losses and a loss of investor trust.

Despite these challenges, the surge in FTT tokens indicates that investors are cautiously optimistic about the possibility of a reboot. However, any future developments will depend on how effectively new leadership can address the issues that led to FTX's downfall and restore investor trust.
