Two crypto entrepreneurs, CryptoJoe and Simeon.eth are considering a plan to buy FTX intellectual property (IP) and launch a new exchange. They have already thought out a name for it, listed the key features, and even described the possible risks of such a project. Read more about their idea below.
Based on a hypothetical plan, the initiators decided to call the new exchange Maven, which means “one who is experienced or knowledgeable.” To put it simply, an expert. Probably, hinting that the new company, contrary to FTX, which went bankrupt, will know what to do and not repeat the same mistakes.
The track says FTX’s popularity was primarily due to its user-friendly interface, UX, and optionality (the platform had low commissions on all trades, a wide range of asset classes and cryptocurrencies, and what seemed at the time to be high liquidity), rather than the approval of celebrities who began removing the evidence of a connection to FTX after the collapse.

“FTX had more than 1M users with billions worth of daily volume. The exchange was loved for its usability, [its] tooling and optionality in products and market,” the experts said.
Now Coinbase, Kraken, and Binance dominate the market. The latter, according to CryptoJoe and Simeon.eth, has 30 times more volume on the spot market than Coinbase. Binance also trades more on the futures market, accounting for a significant share of the market.
An important indicator is the number of liquid assets. This metric is very important because, amid the massive outflow of funds due to the FTT token crash, FTX began having a liquidity crisis
According to the Nansen report, this is what the most popular exchanges have:
According to experts, if someone put forward a tender offer for FTX’s intellectual property, it would most likely be CryptoJoe and Simeon.eth, with a few added improvements, in particular, the operational changes stated include custody and governance, meaning that the new exchange could compete with existing ones.
“We explore this [by] estimating how much it would cost,” they said.
As sources of income for the new exchange, CryptoJoe and Simeon.eth see several options:
According to the thread, there is also a serious emphasis on attracting customers. The report says that the new business plan plans to build an audience in two ways:
The estimated trading income of such a company, according to experts, could be about $140M based on trading fees. As for staking, on the basis of this method of earning, the platform can earn more than $10M. Using Ethereum staking in this estimate puts the figure at $2M. In total, the estimated revenue is $152M.
What could mainly prevent the intended goals are, according to CryptoJoe and Simeon.eth, negative macroeconomic conditions, volatility, difficulties in getting a license, regulation, and cyberattacks.
The experts think the lack of rigorous compliance and controls led to uninformed and unethical behavior previously, that’s why they would implement an independent compliance division to manage KYC
To give users confidence in Maven, a new insight into the company’s liabilities and balance sheet by a reputable accounting firm is planned.
What exactly is trust, given the constant bankruptcies and customer losses, will be the hardest to get. You can read the detailed plan of CryptoJoe and Simeon.eth here.
