What is FTX?
An MIT physicist, Sam Bankman-Fried created this innovative cryptocurrency exchange in 2018 and launched it the following year, with the backing of a large financial institution: La Alameda Research. The company was co-founded by Gary Wang, and their idea was to offer a platform that would provide traders with a whole range of new cryptocurrency-related investment tools.
For being a recent exchange, it is achieving great success and has achieved high trading volumes, ranking third among crypto exchanges by daily traded volume. As I am writing this article, FTX has about $10 billion in volume traded every 24 hours. In addition, the giant Binance has decided to bet on this exchange and invest in it. Binance's supremacy is absolute, but it does not want to leave it to its opponents to take over new markets.
FTX fees
FTX remains a cryptocurrency exchange site despite offering a whole range of derivatives. The exchanges charge commissions that decrease as the monthly volume of trades executed on FTX increases.
The starting level involves a 0.02% of maker fee and a 0.07% taker fee. These numbers can go down if you hold FTT tokens or if you execute transactions of more than $2 millions over a 30-day period. If you transfer cryptocurrencies to the exchange site, you will not pay deposit or withdrawal fees.

The smartphone is not suitable for studying charts, but it can help you keep track of your orders even when you are not in front of a computer screen.
