FTX.us is a U.S. regulated cryptocurrency exchange, that offers its users, not only maybe the most solid platform to trade any of the 250 traditional cryptos, fiat currency, or wire transfers.
The great news is that now you can buy, sell and mint your own NFTs on FTX.us Marketplace as well.
When you go to the FTX.us NFT Marketplace website, you can already see all the NFTs that have been listed including Degenerate Ape Academy, Eitbit Ape, Sollamas, Solamanders, Red Panda Squad, or Galactic Gekko Space Garage, among others.
Of course, you can buy and sell, but the extra feature of auctioning off changes the game completely. You can set a buy now price, along with an initial bid floor price and an expiring time frame, without those Solana´s fees.
FTX Security
FTX uses a password, plus the Two Factor Authentification (2FA) and a seperate password for withdrawals. The 24h lock, when changing the password or 2FA removal, that the platform has developed by default is another extra security feature.
FTX.us will also notify the user by mail of any unusual login attempts. As if that weren’t enough, the user can pre-set the IP addresses allowed. Still, large withdrawals and/or suspicious deposits will have to go through a manual human review.
Low maker fees (0.02%) and low taker fees (0.07%), a lifetime 5% discount in trading fees, and its increased scalability help make this platform very attractive to common users.
Getting Started with NFTs
An NFT is a non-fungible token that you can buy, sell, and hold. Unlike most existing cryptocurrencies in the crypto space, NFT is typically indivisible meaning it may not be fungible with any other tokens.
Because values associated with NFTs can change rapidly, FTX.us will not offer refunds on NFTs. As so, you are advised to only purchase items that you are comfortable enjoying for their artistic value.
- First of all, you will need to go to www.ftx.us/home/, register, and create an account. Now you´ll want to enable the 2FA, by clicking on profile and settings (top right).
- From the Security tag, you will access the 2FA, to enable it with your Google Authenticator.
- On level 1 you input your data, and you are already authorized to make deposits and daily withdrawals. Up to 10K U$D.
- If you want to use your credit card, have unlimited withdrawals or U$D deposits, you´ll have to upgrade security to level 2.
- Now you click on the Wallet tag (up left) and you´ll get an overview list, of all of your balances on your account.
