You've seen the ads with Tom Brady. You've seen their name on Miami Heat's FTX Arena. You know FTX is one of the largest crypto exchanges in the world.
You may not know that their custom token (FTT) gives FTX users a wide array of benefits from reduced trading fees to staking opportunities.
But is FTX a long-term crypto investment?
Our thesis is that holding tokens is often like holding stock in the company itself. As FTX is privately owned and growing like crazy, our analysts evaluated the long-term potential of FTT, rolling it up into an easy 1- to 5-star rating.

The Best Vanguard ETFs (Wall Street Journal): We're fans of Vanguard's easy-to-use index funds with their set-it-and-forget-it simplicity.
The brainchild of legendary investor Jack Bogle (read our column here), the Vanguard philosophy is to protect the investor by keeping fees as low as possible and urging a simple, long-term strategy of holding the entire market.
At Bitcoin Market Journal, our philosophy is similar. To protect investors, Vanguard ETFs form the basis of our Blockchain Believers Portfolio with a small amount of crypto to help them grow.
This guide from the Wall Street Journal lists the top Vanguard ETFs for the total stock market, bond market, international markets, and more.
Investor takeaway: Jack Bogle spent his career warning investors about professional money managers who very rarely beat the market over the long term. Take a page from his playbook and check out these excellent ETFs. |
