FTX US plans to launch options to complement stock trading offering

FTX US — the crypto exchange affiliated with Sam Bankman-Fried’s FTX — is plotting a move into equity options trading following the rollout of stock trading across all 50 American states. As per an interview with Bloomberg News, FTX US president Brett Harrison said that the company will add options without providing a specific timeline. Harrison said that expanding the product during a slowdown in trading across assets could allow the firm during a future bull cycle to “capitalize that opportunity.”
