Currently, there are many problems plaguing the top future exchanges: Clawbacks, Broken Liquidation Systems, Poorly Designed Products and Margin Wallets. We are traders. We share your frustrations. In fact, we’ve written countless white papers and given hours of feedback to these exchanges, but to no avail. Like you, we are very excited about the future of cryptocurrency, but immature exchange infrastructure has been holding this space back. This is why we created FTX! Our mission is twofold - to build the best derivatives exchange and to help move this space toward becoming institutional! We are strong believers in education, and we have been actively collaborating and engaging in dialogue with players in the ecosystem.
