FTX Token, trading around $1.40 for the past month, saw a sharp spike in daily returns on September 29, marking a significant recovery from its previous lows. The token’s price surge has been attributed to anticipating potential payouts to creditors, which has fueled investor optimism.

Despite the recent gains, FTX Token’s journey has been tumultuous. Following the collapse of FTX in November 2022, the token plummeted from around $25 to below $2, where it has traded largely since, reported CoinTelegraph. The massive sell-off was exacerbated by major crypto exchange Binance dumping its entire holdings of FTT for risk management purposes.

As of now, FTX Token has a market cap of approximately $330 million, with around 30,600 holders.
