FTX Token (FTT) jumps 36% as Sam Bankman-Fried returns to X after two years

Digital assets, including Bitcoin, have been underperforming due to global economic uncertainties. In the past 24 hours, Bitcoin dropped to $90K. Altcoins suffered the most, experiencing double-digit losses. However, FTX’s FTT token saw significant movement, soaring from $1.5515 to $2.117 in just one hour, a 36% increase. These wild movements were sparked by social media posts from Sam Bankman-Fried, the former FTX CEO who is currently serving a 25-year sentence for money laundering and fraud. FTT's volatility highlights how cryptocurrencies are influenced by social media developments. However, FTX retreated to $1.75, demonstrating the risks associated with such price actions. SBF's social media activity has received mixed reactions, with some suggesting he is seeking a pardon or that his account has been hacked. FTT's long-term trajectory remains uncertain as it lacks utility and investors gravitate towards tokens with real-world use cases.
