FTT, the token tied to bankrupt crypto exchange FTX, shot up 30% after the exchange’s new CEO suggested that FTX.com might be restarted.
The token was trading at around $2.28 as of 11:20 a.m. ET, according to data from TradingView.
John Ray III, who is overseeing the bankruptcy and restructuring of the FTX business empire, said that he had put together a task force to explore restarting FTX.com, according to an interview with the Wall Street Journal.
“If there is a path forward on that, then we will not only explore that, we’ll do it,” he said. “There are stakeholders we’re working with who’ve identified what they see is a viable business.”
