On September 24, 2025, former FTX cryptocurrency exchange CEO Sam Benkman-Fried (SBF)’s X (formerly Twitter) account became active on X (formerly Twitter) for the first time since March 2025.

Against this backdrop, the price of the FTT token soared by more than 55% at one point. However, the asset’s exchange rate subsequently declined and is around $0.99 at the time of writing:

However, the post was published not by SBF himself, but by his friend. The comment below the post said:

“No, SBF does not publish posts by himself from jail. I am a friend who is posting on his behalf.”

Ikigai Asset Management founder Travis Kling said he forgives Sam Benkman-Fried for his actions and did so back in the immediate aftermath of the FTX collapse. He urged anyone who was hurt by SBF’s actions to also let go of grudges, noting that hate can destroy a person from the inside out.

Recall that in March 2025, American journalist and political commentator Tucker Carlson interviewed SBF. Then sentenced to 25 years in prison Benkman-Fried talked about the conditions in prison, daily life, the future of cryptocurrencies, as well as the SEC, Gensler and other topics.

Also in May, it was reported that SBF may get out of prison four years earlier – on December 14, 2044.
