- It started with a multi-million dollar deal with the Miami Heat to rebrand the latter’s home court to FTX Arena. Later on, the exchange bought an ad to be featured at the Super Bowl, collaborated with the F1 championship team Mercedes, and with Major League Baseball (MLB).
- Separately, the company saw some well-known and reputable individuals joining as ambassadors or purchasing a stake. These included basketball megastar Steph Curry, prominent investor Kevin O’Leary, and football legend Tom Brady.
- The exchange also joined the NFT craze by launching a marketplace for its US-based customers.
