However, only a month after, the partnership has come to an end, with FTX declaring bankruptcy, shaking the overall cryptocurrency market. "We have terminated our global agreements with FTX and their U.S. debit card program is being wound down by their issuer,” a Visa spokesperson told Reuters.

Price Action: FTT was trading at $1.32, down 26.29% in the last 24 hours, according to Benzinga Pro.
