Sam Bankman-Fried, the 29-year-old billionaire CEO of FTX, on Thursday said his cryptocurrency derivatives exchange is targeting the US as its next growth area. The Hong Kong-based firm currently does not allow US residents to trade on its platform. FTX US is a separate service and offers limited trading for US customers. "When you look at FTX US, there's an enormous amount of potential growth," Bankman-Fried told CoinDesk TV Thursday.
Main Idea: Sam Bankman-Fried said FTX US has big growth potential and that the company plans to use its new funding to expand in the United States.
Key Points:
More crypto growth in the US could mean more risk for ordinary investors if FTX expands before rules are clear.
FTX expansion could bring more trading options, new jobs, and more competition for US customers and small firms.
