Cardsmiths Series 3 – FTX #31-SP – Aquamarine 14/15
The Aquamarine variant of FTX from Cardsmiths Series 3 is a visually electric, ultra-limited short print that encapsulates one of crypto’s most notorious collapses. Numbered 14/15, this Aquamarine refractor radiates with icy-blue brilliance — symbolizing the calm before the storm that defined FTX’s rapid rise and fall.
FTX, founded in 2019 by Sam Bankman-Fried and Gary Wang, was a major cryptocurrency exchange that gave traders access to spot markets, derivatives, and NFTs. In 2022, its sudden bankruptcy exposed an $8 billion deficit, sending shockwaves through the digital-finance world.
The Aquamarine finish glows with layered blue fractals — a fitting visual metaphor for the illusion of stability beneath the chaos. This short-print release is one of the most striking and limited in the entire Currency lineup.
