FTX price down by 8% over past 7 days
The FTX token prices recorded a drop of more than 6% in the last 24 hours. It is trading at an average price of $23.2, at the press time. It is important to note that this massive purchase has proved to be insufficient to settle the vast selling sentiment of the market.
Meanwhile, FTT token price has declined by just 8% over the past 7 days. Where other big cryptos have registered a double-digit drop, the FTX has been losing a single digit. As the token is backed by the actual exchange it is considered a safer investment than other. The token is the 19th largest cryptocurrency with a total market value of over $3.2 billion.
