The legal proceedings against FTX are evolving, with the possibility of Ryan Salame, former co-CEO of FTX Digital Markets, considering a guilty plea. This comes as a positive development amid challenges faced by prosecutors handling the FTX case.

Amid the ongoing legal battle, Ryan Salame, previously linked to FTX Digital Markets, is reportedly discussing a potential guilty plea with U.S. authorities. This move is anticipated to happen in September, just before the trial of Sam Bankman-Fried, former CEO of FTX, scheduled for October 2.

Salame is also facing inquiries into potential violations of U.S. campaign finance laws, related to contributions to his girlfriend Michelle Bond's congressional campaign. Allegations suggest these contributions exceeded federal limits.

FTX Digital Markets, operating from the Bahamas, played a role in Salame bringing attention to suspected fraudulent activities involving FTX and Bankman-Fried. However, the extent of Salame's involvement as a witness in Bankman-Fried's trials remains uncertain.

Sam Bankman-Fried faces a significant prison term if found guilty on the original seven-count indictment, focused on defrauding FTX investors. Additional campaign finance allegations were dropped due to constraints within the U.S.-Bahamas extradition treaty, which requires foreign government approval for new charges.

Regarding FTT, the native token tied to FTX, its trading price is attracting attention amid speculation about FTX's potential revival. Currently priced at $1.18, FTT saw a 0.75% increase in the last 24 hours. However, discussions around FTT online have shown a decrease in positive sentiment. Simultaneously, the trading volume of FTT has also declined recently.
