FTX Proves Its dedication to the US Market with New Chicago Headquarters

RAMA38.MY.ID -FTX has announced that it’s opening a new headquarters in Chicago and will be looking to hire up to 30 people over the next few months. 

We’re excited about the move, says FTX CEO, Scott Freeman, I have always believed that the US Market is where cryptocurrency will take off in the future so it only makes sense that we should have a big presence here. 

We’re aiming to get our numbers matching facility up and running in Q4 so people can begin trading on FTX as soon as possible in 2019.

The History of FTX

Futures Trading Xchange (FTX) is one of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges. Founded in 2010, FTX established its headquarters in Sydney, Australia. 

In 2016, FTX opened its San Francisco office and made a strategic move into Europe opening offices in London, England; Gdansk, Poland; and Bucharest Romania. 

FTX has now decided to open up a second United States headquarters based out of Chicago. The new location will serve as an operational base for FTX in North America. 

The company will hire 50+ employees at the new location, providing them with competitive benefits packages including health insurance and 401k plans. 

We are thrilled to be expanding our presence into another market where crypto trading volume is booming, said John Yalcinkaya, CEO of FTX. 

Chicago is an important financial hub that provides us access to a major talent pool. With increasing activity among blockchain-based firms and exchanges in the area, we anticipate strong growth potential in this region. 

As FTX continues to expand globally, this location will allow us to service customers on both sides of the Pacific more effectively. 

Our goal is to create a global network that spans different regions of the world so customers can trade wherever they may be. 

Moving forward, FTX will continue to find ways to provide traders with cost effective solutions while maintaining industry leading levels of security and compliance. 

The founder and CEO of FTX commented: As regulation increases in the US, it’s vital that institutions like ours not only follow suit but exceed standards set by regulatory bodies such as FINRA and SEC. 

After spending much time studying these organizations, we have come to understand the importance of operating under stringent guidelines set forth by governing bodies. 

Consequently, all features on FTX have been designed within compliance parameters laid out by regulatory organizations. 

For example, FTX is registered as a Broker/Dealer and Alternative Trading System with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (SEC). 

Furthermore, they are members of the National Futures Association (NFA), which regulates futures brokers in the US through self-regulation and uniform law enforcement. 

Additionally, FTX holds two licenses from various governments around the world - their Australian securities license and their Australian Financial Services License - making it compliant to operate across international borders in multiple countries.

Office Tour

The new FTX headquarters is located in the iconic John Hancock Building on a prime downtown block. The space features floor-to-ceiling windows, which flood it with natural light, and provides panoramic views of Lake Michigan. 

It was designed to be LEED Gold certified, ensuring that it meets the highest standards for energy efficiency and environmental sustainability. 

FTX’s commitment to innovation extends into its unique open office plan, which fosters collaboration by bringing employees from various departments together. 

In keeping with this collaborative philosophy, FTX offers employees access to high quality amenities such as a fitness center, yoga room and rooftop deck with stunning views of the city skyline. 

The inspiration for the company's vision goes back decades, to an earlier time when trade was done face-to-face, says Co-founder Chris Plummer. That tradition continues today at FTX.

Customers are invited to stop by our state-of-the-art trading floor where they can speak directly with traders about their trades. 

A team of account managers is available to answer questions and provide customer service on all aspects of the trading process. 

FTX also boasts one of the lowest margin rates around – just 1% - making trading more accessible for investors everywhere. 

Trading commissions start at $2.50 per share and run up to $20 per 100 shares depending on how much the client invests each month. 

As always, FTX will continue to innovate so we can offer even lower costs, shorter waiting periods and higher limits than ever before! The interiors and exteriors of the building have been redesigned since opening, but maintaining a classic yet fresh style has been paramount to FTX's success.
