If you’re new to cryptocurrency, we recommend getting started with a simple Google search or speaking with a financial advisor who can help you navigate these uncharted waters. 

Your financial future depends on it. Get started now! The Future is Now: One of our biggest advantages is that we were one of the first companies in blockchain technology. 

Since 2009, FTX has been providing investment services to clients across North America and Europe; when bitcoin was worth pennies, FTX was already giving investors access to top coins like bitcoin cash (BCH) and ethereum (ETH). 

Our vision for FTX is bigger than any single coin; at its core, cryptocurrency is simply an efficient way for people to exchange value. 

When you buy a stock, you are exchanging money for ownership in a company. In cryptocurrencies, you’re exchanging money for tokens that represent ownership in blockchain networks – but also other things like currency pairs and smart contracts. 

At FTX, we want to give our customers access to as many different types of tokens as possible so they can diversify their portfolio and take advantage of opportunities wherever they arise.

The future is bright

The FTX cryptocurrency exchange opened its doors to a new home office today—Chicago, Illinois. This move is seen as a milestone for FTX, one of America’s fastest growing cryptocurrency exchanges. 

The opening of an office in such a technological hub signals greater long-term growth and stability than ever before. With offices in both New York City and Chicago, FTX has positioned itself as a major player within the financial industry. 

We are pleased to expand our presence into another major market, said CEO John Phillips. This will help us better serve our customers across North America and around the world. 

It was a busy day at FTX headquarters, with over 200 guests on hand to celebrate. They were treated to remarks from company leadership and enjoyed drinks and hors d’oeuvres while they networked with others in attendance. 

In addition to celebrating their new location, FTX also announced a partnership with global payments leader PayPal Holdings Inc. (PYPL). 

The two companies will work together to provide users of PayPal access to cryptocurrencies through a seamless process that doesn’t require them to convert funds back and forth between fiat currency and digital assets. In other news, it was recently revealed that Facebook Inc.

A world-class experience

we opened our doors to cryptocurrency enthusiasts on Wednesday, and we’ve been blown away by their response. Many told us that they’ve been waiting for a cryptocurrency exchange like ours—one that’s fast, easy, safe, and open 24/7. 

That feedback helped us shape FTX into what we think is a better experience than most exchanges out there right now. We couldn’t be more excited to hear how much you love it! It just goes to show: if you build it, they will come. 

In fact, we had so many people visit our site during our first day of operation that trading was temporarily suspended due to high demand. 

So make sure you get your account set up ASAP so you can start trading! You’ll also want to check out our new mobile app, which is coming soon. 

(We know you guys are busy with work and school, so we wanted to make sure you didn’t have an excuse not to trade!) If you have any questions or suggestions, don’t hesitate to contact us at [email protected] or tweet @ftx_support. 

Thanks again for being awesome! Sincerely, The FTX Team PS: If you haven’t heard about us yet, FTX is a brand-new digital currency exchange designed from scratch to provide its users with one of the fastest, safest trading experiences possible.

About us

FTX has deep experience and expertise in financial services, technology and regulation. With clients including governments, regulators and major financial institutions, FTX is ideally positioned to set a new standard for cryptocurrency exchanges. 

Established four years ago as an electronic securities trading platform, FTX was one of Australia’s first bitcoin exchanges. 

The company will employ 30 people at its world class headquarters at 199 Wells St. The newly formed subsidiary of FT Group Pty Ltd is expected to open for business on June 1. 

It will offer consumers an alternative to conventional currency markets by using blockchain technology to create a transparent, decentralized market that operates 24 hours a day. 

That compares with just 16 hours per day currently available through traditional currency markets around the globe. Trading platforms are typically closed on weekends and holidays. 

The opening of our new facility in Chicago reflects FTX’s commitment to establishing itself as a leader in digital asset exchange and related technology, said John Teasdale, chief executive officer of FTX. 

We look forward to working with our customers and other industry participants to make digital assets more accessible and further develop their use cases across global capital markets.

Why Chicago?

FTX’s headquarters and trading operations are already located in Chicago, a global financial capital with deep expertise in foreign exchange trading. We want to bring new jobs and talent to an area where we’re already headquartered. 

And because of FTX’s commitment to low fees, customers will be able to trade profitably on what we expect will be some of the world’s most competitive currency exchange rates. 

As a result, we believe that our move to Chicago is not only smart business, but also good for local communities. 

In addition, Chicago has experienced major growth as a technology hub, so it was a natural fit for us to build out additional office space there as well. 

It's been one year since we started developing FTX from scratch—and I can say without hesitation that it's been quite an experience. 

From day one, our goal was simple: create a state-of-the art cryptocurrency exchange platform that would offer users everything they need to trade effectively and efficiently. 

Today, I'm proud to announce that we've reached another milestone on our journey: FTX is officially opening its doors! 

Our new headquarters here in Chicago represents just how far we've come over these past twelve months. For starters, you might notice something different about us: a fresh logo!

An exclusive event

FTX Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: FTX) revealed today at an exclusive event that it has opened its new headquarters on West Monroe Street in downtown Chicago, just a short drive from many of Chicago’s most iconic landmarks. 

New headquarters are located at 63 W. Monroe St., 30th floor. The move brings together all of FTX’s core divisions under one roof and will provide room to grow as the company continues to expand globally. 

The opening was celebrated with a ribbon cutting ceremony featuring Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner and other distinguished guests. 

At full capacity, the new building can accommodate more than 2,000 FTX employees. Chicago is proud to be home to some of the greatest entrepreneurs and companies around, said Mayor Emanuel. 

FTX Holdings joins a growing list of businesses who have chosen Chicago because they want to build their futures here. We welcome them to our city and look forward to working with them for years to come. 

As we continue to work hard every day to create opportunities for every resident, we are excited about FTX’s decision and what it means for our future. 

We appreciate being able to work with such a strong partner like Mayor Emanuel on projects like these, said James Gorman, Chairman & CEO of FTX Holdings.
