FTX is reportedly considering relaunching its crypto exchange operations.</p><p>This news triggered a surge in the<a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ftx-token/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">FTT token</a>’s price, increasing by over 100%.</p><h3 id="3-twitter-partners-with-etoro-to-launch-crypto-and-stock-trading">3. Twitter partners with eToro to launch crypto and stock trading</h3><p>Social media giant Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/eToro/status/1646430266401890304?s&#61;20" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">has partnered </a>with eToro, a social trading company, to allow users to access real-time prices for cryptocurrencies, stocks, and other assets through Twitter’s Cashtags feature.</p><p>Cashtags were launched in 2012 and allow users to interact with content around an asset by inserting a dollar sign in front of the ticker.

American court summons Tron founder Justin Sun</h3><p>Justin Sun, the founder of Tron, has been served with a <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.596044/gov.uscourts.nysd.596044.13.0.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">summons </a>by a U.S. court at his Singapore address as part of a civil lawsuit brought against him by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).</p><p>The case centers around allegations of the unregistered sale and offering of TRX and BTT tokens as crypto asset securities.
