FTM price rebounds 50% as Fantom reveals 30 years runway (without having to sell its token)
Fantom (FTM) continued its upward momentum on Nov. 30 amid reports that the Fantom Foundation generates consistent profits and has 30 years of runway without having to sell any FTM tokens.
FTM price gained nearly 13.5% to reach $0.24, its highest level in three weeks. The rally came as a part of a broader rebound trend that started when it bottomed out at around $0.17 on Nov. 22. This amounts to a 50% price rebound in the last eight days.

In February 2021, Alameda also purchased $35 million worth of FTM tokens to become a validator on the Fantom blockchain. This exposure may have been a key factor behind FTM's underperformance in the early days of November, wherein its price declined by as much as 35%.
Cronje downplayed any connection with FTX/Alameda, explaining that being a validator does not make one part of the foundation.
"Unlike most of our competitors, the foundation owns a relatively small amount of FTM," he wrote, adding:
Cronje also revealed that Fantom passed on further cooperation with Alameda in January 2022.
