Architect, a new institutional trading platform, just closed a $35 million funding round. The project is helmed by Brett Harrison, formerly leading FTX US operations. The platform aims to offer a comprehensive suite of trading instruments—covering derivatives, equities, futures, and digital assets—designed specifically for institutional traders and sophisticated market participants. This move signals growing momentum in building institutional-grade infrastructure for multi-asset trading in the Web3 ecosystem.

Brett Harrison? Man, that's a bold move. FTX people still dare to come out and seek funding...

Brett Harrison is back to raise funds again. This guy really has "magic"... An institutional-level trading platform sounds good, but I think I'll wait and see the actual performance.

Another former FTX executive leading the team, 35 million in funding, hey I’m familiar with this rhythm --- Brett Harrison? No way, still trying to replicate the FTX model? --- Institutional-grade trading platforms sound impressive, but where are the real chips? --- The term "institutional-grade infrastructure" is used very skillfully, but honestly it’s about who gets cut. --- $35M Funding stories are fine, but will institutions really buy into it? --- Derivatives + futures + digital assets, all brought together—this setup feels a bit familiar. --- Why do I always feel like this is setting the stage for the next round of bagholders? --- Former FTX operator? Then I need to see how the risk warnings are written inside. --- Institutional-grade sounds so impressive, can retail investors get in? If not, that’s just a prelude to a capital pool.

ah, brett harrison leading another institutional play... *checks notes* funny how we keep recycling the same cast of characters, isn't it? ftx alumni founding new platforms has major "history rhymes" energy. give it 18-24 months and we'll either have another tower moment or it'll quietly become the infrastructure nobody remembers. either way, the cycle continues.
