Can Sam Bankman-Fried still be saved? Not his reputation, but his future. In prison, the former crypto millionaire is biding his time while his former empire has turned into a wasteland. However, strange thing: a glimmer of light emerges from the mud. The FTT token – orphan token of FTX – briefly revived after an unexpected post on X. Like a heartbeat in a frozen body.
In brief
The "gm" posted on X from SBF's account triggered a speculative surge.
FTT jumped by 60%, before falling to $0.98, without economic basis.
The crypto market reacted by imitation, reigniting the collective trauma post-FTX in an emotional flash.
Volumes and activity exploded, despite the absence of real utility for the FTT token.
"Gm" from SBF: two letters, a crypto jolt
On September 23, 2025, at dawn, a simple "gm" emerges from SBF's X account, 33 years old and still in prison. Immediate result: the FTT token skyrockets to $1.23, before falling to $0.98. The community ignites. However, SBF remains incarcerated.
On-chain researcher ZachXBT is outraged: "he doesn't even deserve human rights" after what he did. The reaction reveals how alive the FTX wound still is.
Very soon, a tweet corrects: the message was not posted by SBF himself, but by a friend. Speculation hardly cares. The market had already reacted. It’s not the first time this has happened: in February, a similar post had already sent FTT soaring.
Every time SBF appears, the collective imagination ignites. A mix of fascination, anger, and traumatic memory: FTX's past continues to haunt the platforms.
