/1 I remember having a first call with @FTX_Official in 2019 when no one was speaking about them. I have been pitching it to few friendly vc’s to invest in seed round. Many have passed. Back then there was just @AlamedaResearch with terrific performance.https://t.co/2pKORvuGeN

⚡️ @FTX_Official $FTT has closed its Series B funding round, drawing in $900 million from an array of investors.

With the fresh capital in hand, #FTX is looking to break into a business line that is common on Wall Street: white-labeling software.

I prefer to think that financial exchanges should be credibly neutral open public infrastructure. In fact, that's where I think the inevitable logic of technology leads ... eventually ... https://t.co/moawoW85yN
