By acquiring Ledger X, FTX will now be able to offer regulated crypto futures and options trading to the US market.

Although founded by 2 Americans, the company has only recently been unleashing plans to begin operations stateside.

“The majority of global crypto volume trades through derivatives, though most of that occurs on venues outside the U.S. But there’s ‘a deep demand’ from both retail traders and institutions for regulated crypto derivatives within the country.”

FTX has made several investments as part of its drive to gain exposure and operations in the world’s leading economy.

Some of the deals include:

  • A 19-year $135 million naming rights agreement for the stadium/arena belonging to NBA team Miami Heat
  • A multi-year deal to become the official cryptocurrency exchange for Major League Baseball (MLB)
  • A deal with Tom Brady, a quarterback for Tampa Bay Bucaneers, together with his wife, supermodel Gisele Bundchen

FTX.US and Ledger X indicate that as on entity, it will further drive innovation that is compliant and meets the rigorous standards of the US financial services industry.
