[Former FTX US President Brett Harrison Launches Perpetual Contract Trading Platform AX] Brett Harrison, former president of FTX US, has founded a startup called Architect Financial Technologies, which has been approved by the Bermuda Monetary Authority to launch a perpetual contract trading platform named 'AX.' The platform aims to apply crypto derivatives mechanisms to traditional asset classes such as stocks, forex, interest rates, and commodities, while supporting 24/7 continuous trading. The platform will accept fiat currency and USD stablecoins as margin, breaking through the limitations of traditional settlement systems. Future plans include expanding to AI economy-related assets, such as perpetual contracts for rare earths, renewable energy, and data center computing power costs. Architect is headquartered in Chicago and is currently undergoing Series A financing, with investments from Coinbase Ventures, Circle Ventures, and Anthony Scaramucci's SALT Fund. Harrison stated that the regulatory environment in the U.S. market is becoming more relaxed, and perpetual contracts may usher in new development opportunities in the traditional financial sector.
