Following the Recent Rally, FTX Lists GameStop

Crypto Derivatives Trading Platform, FTX has listed Gamestop $GME on its platform.

This is coming after the apparent and unusual trading activities around the stock in recent days. According to reportings,  a group of retail traders had been pushing the price of $GME upward after Hedge Fund firm, Melvin Capital shorted the company’s stocks. 

The battle between the Hedge Fund (Melvin Capital) and retail traders resulted in the liquidation of billions of dollars of the firm and an almost total liquidation until it closed its short position.
