If the NBA approves a new deal, the AmericanAirlines Arena, also known as the ā€œTriple-Aā€ or AAA, will be the FTX Arena until 2040. The change in naming rights is part of a $135 million deal that Miami-Dade County commissioners approved on Friday. Garcia said that although the motive is related to marketing, FTX put conditions on how the money needs to be spent. Alameda Research, a quantitative trading firm founded in 2017, backs the international cryptocurrency exchange, which is associated with FTX US. Sam Bankman-Fried, the chief executive officer of FTX, released a statement saying the FTX family ā€œis thrilledā€ about the ā€œpartnershipā€ because FTX isn’t just putting a name on an iconic building.
