Brett Harrison, the former president of FTX US, has raised $35 million in funding to launch Architect—an institutional-grade trading exchange. The new platform targets professional traders and institutional participants seeking an alternative in the post-FTX landscape. This move signals renewed interest in institutional infrastructure within the crypto market, with Harrison leading the charge to build a compliant, enterprise-focused exchange infrastructure. The funding round underscores growing demand for institutional-grade trading venues that prioritize security and regulatory clarity.

The architect is coming, brothers. Are we about to whitewash this... How much weight can 3.5 billion in trust really carry?

From the ROI logic of institutional-level exchanges, this layout indeed captures the opportunity window for the restructuring of the computing power network. Harrison used 35M for infrastructure iteration, which is much smarter than the money-burning marketing approach.

NGL, Brett's play with this hand is quite interesting. Spending 35 million, whether he can really clear his name depends on how things unfold later.

Brett is trying to whitewash again, this time under a new alias called Architect? Is this for real, can 35 million make everyone forget about the FTX drama?

Another person from the former FTX is coming out to raise funds, this routine is really getting more familiar... --- 35M just to whitewash FTX's reputation? I think it's unlikely. --- An institutional-grade exchange sounds good, but I'm still a bit wary, after all, the past is there. --- Honesty, let me ask, is this reliable or is it another big play to be played for suckers? --- Under the guise of institutional-grade, it's still the same old tricks... --- Haha, Harrison is trying to extend his life here. --- Wait, it's again the safety and compliance rhetoric, what did FTX say last time...
