Industry leading products and services to be offered by the Company will include a comprehensive suite of exchange and OTC based products and services, as well as derivatives.

Sam Bankman-Fried, CEO & Founder of FTX, commented:"We're excited to bring FTX's innovative products and services to the Australian marketplace. The establishment of FTX Australia should provide all our local clients with the confidence of trading on a registered and licensed platform."

"As in other jurisdictions within which we operate, significant resources have been allocated to proactively engage with local regulators. We look to be a participant in policy discussions globally and will seek to continue this same level engagement locally through FTX Australia, and we are encouraged by the important work being undertaken to establish a new digital asset licensing regime."

Australia is a well-regarded financial centre in the Asia-Pacific and an important and growing market for FTX. Australians have a long reputation of adopting new technologies, particularly when it comes to financial services. The establishment of FTX Australia highlights FTX's long-term commitment to the local market and represents the natural next step in the FTX's global expansion.
