3) To some extent there *is* clutter. But also we do things to reduce it. The biggest is margin.

4) FTX cross-margins *everything*. Spot, futures, FX, stocks, margin, prediction markets, perpetuals... This means that, when we add a type of product, we don't need a new 'zone' or wallet or liquidation point. It's all just in http://ftx.com/wallet.

5) FTX spot margin is super clean: You can deposit, and withdraw, and trade, as long as you don't go beyond your margin limits. You don't need to actively borrow or shuffle funds; that's automatic. And all our futures are on the same margin system.

6) If you *want* to split things out, you can do so however you want by using separate subaccounts. So while http://ftx.com/markets keeps growing, at least you don't need to manage 50 different wallets!

7) Anyway, long story short: more markets! https://ftx.com/trade/BTC/AUD https://ftx.com/trade/BTC/EUR AUD/EUR/CAD/GBP are also now available on margin! Borrow, lend, and margin trade instantly.
