The token on Tuesday was witnessing an upswing seeing a gain of over 5% and a volume gain of over 150%. It was one of the very few tokens that was performing well on a day when the overall market cap slumped to US$1.46 trillion from US$1.57 trillion.

Why is FTT token rallying?

The FTT token is rallying on the back of the news of its collaboration with the move-to-earn blockchain protocol, Stepn. Stepn is a Web3 lifestyle app with social & game elements, and it will be auctioning 9999 NFT sneakers on the FTX platform. 

The money raised during the auction will be given to charity through the FTX Foundation. The FTT has been creating waves in the crypto market as well as Formula One circuit after it pocketed a deal with Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team. Also on 9 May, the FTT protocol allowed minting option for one of five MercedesAMGF1 NFTs.

Earlier in March, the FTT token had also seen an increased interest following its license approval to operate in Dubai. The Sam Bankman-Fried led exchange got the license after complying with all the norms set by the Dubai Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA).

How is FTT crypto faring? 

The 24th ranked token on Tuesday was trading at US$34.63 with a trading volume of US$26,03,96,768 over a day, according to CoinMarketCap. The FTT crypto was up by 7.13% in the last 24 hours, with a live market cap of US$4,73,61,51,017 and 13,67,69,343 FTT coins in circulation. 

The gain should be heartening, considering that over the past 30 days or so, FTT has suffered losses of up to 25.2%. The losses have primarily been on the back of overall bearish sentiments prevailing in the market. 

Whether the rally will last or not remains to be seen, but it has definitely given the market participants some relief. But all market participants need to be careful about the fluctuations prevailing in the market and hence must venture into the market after an in-depth study.
