FTX operates as a comprehensive cryptocurrency and stock trading exchange that combines digital asset trading with traditional financial instruments and NFT marketplace services. Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Nassau, Bahamas, the platform distinguished itself in the competitive crypto exchange landscape by offering innovative features including stablecoin account funding and integrated derivatives trading capabilities. The company, legally incorporated as West Realm Shires Services Inc., positioned itself as a bridge between traditional finance and the emerging Web3 ecosystem, catering to both retail and institutional traders seeking exposure to digital assets. FTX gained significant market recognition through strategic partnerships and sponsorship deals that elevated its brand visibility within the cryptocurrency community. However, FTX ceased operations in November 2022 following liquidity issues and regulatory investigations that led to bankruptcy proceedings. The company's collapse marked one of the most significant events in cryptocurrency market history, fundamentally reshaping industry regulatory discussions and investor confidence in centralized digital asset platforms.
