That doesn't mean he would have meant FTT, but the other assets the FTX holded. Because it's wiser for them to sell them via over-the-counter market, rather then dumping them to buy walls and crash the market even more.
It wouldn't even make any sense for any company to buy FTT as it was an ftx token and has no use case for anyone else. It would just be a token with a tainted and shady reputation. It doesn't make any sense for anyone buying that up. Even if someone wanted to rebrand FTX under a new name, buying ftt because of it would be equivalent to throwing money in a fire pit. It serves no one but a fire.
The new company might make a "burn program" for FTT holders to "burn" their tokens in exchange for a new one. If they don't, then holders will be "rekt" in the long run. It's not worth buying this token because of the huge risk of loss. People just want to speculate on it with the hopes of making money in the long run. It's a "free market", so who are we to blame?
I think FTX will pass onto history as the worst crypto exchange ever. If Mt, Gox didn't make a comeback, what makes people think FTX will? Hopefully, this would be the last time a crypto exchange of a large scale collapses in its entirety. With regulators weighing in, investors/traders can feel confident their funds will be safe no matter what. Just my opinion
