FTX Cryptocurrency Derivatives Exchange - FTX Leveraged Tokens Explained!
Sign Up : https://ftx.com/#a=17095800
This is a video explaining what the FTX Leveraged Tokens are and how they work.

FTX describes itself as a crypto derivatives exchange. FTX offers products including derivatives, options, volatility products and leveraged tokens. The team reportedly comes from Wall Street quant firms and tech companies including Jane Street, Optiver, Susquehanna, Facebook, and Google.


What Is FTX Token (FTT)?
FTT is the native cryptocurrency token of the crypto derivatives trading platform FTX that launched on May 8, 2019.

The team behind FTX comprises some of the largest crypto traders over the past few years who, having found issues with most mainstream crypto futures exchanges, decided to launch their own platform. FTX claims that it stands out due to such features as clawback prevention, a centralized collateral pool and universal stablecoin settlement.


In regards to clawback prevention, a significant amount of customer funds on other derivative exchanges have been claimed by socialized losses. FTX reduces this by using a three-tiered liquidation model.

On existing crypto futures exchanges, the collateral is fragmented across separate token wallets; this can be difficult for traders as it prevents positions from getting liquidated. On the other hand, FTX derivatives are stablecoin-settled and only require one universal margin wallet.


Another feature of the FTT are leveraged tokens, which allow traders to put leveraged positions without the need to trade on margin. If a trader wants to short Bitcoin with 3x leverage, they can simply buy a 3x short Bitcoin leveraged token on FTX. These tokens are ERC20-compatible and can be listed on any spot exchange. FTX currently offers XRP, BNB, TRX, BTC, ETH, EOS, USDT and LEO leveraged tokens.
