Sam Bankman-Fried’s X account posted, “Another great quarter for stocks.” The message came despite his ongoing 25-year prison sentence for the FTX fraud.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A prison-approved proxy sent the post, since Bankman-Fried has no direct internet access behind bars. The timing lined up with the close of the stock market’s best quarter since 2020.<\/p>\n

Another great quarter for stocks!<\/p>\n

Stocks Close Out Their Best Quarter Since 2020<\/h2>\n

The Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq each closed higher on June 30. The S&P 500 gained 0.8%, and the Nasdaq rose 1.5%. Both posted their best quarterly performance since 2020. <\/p>\n

The gains held even as the Middle East<\/a> conflict weighed on broader sentiment. The Dow logged its biggest quarterly jump since 2022. Meanwhile, technology stocks led the advance, with a semiconductor index gaining 3.9% on the day.<\/p>\n

The rally extends a longer trend. Stocks have outpaced Bitcoin<\/a> over the past five years. A $1,000 stake in the S&P 500 from 2021 is now worth more than the same bet on the token.<\/p>\n

Traditional markets grabbed other headlines this week too. SpaceX’s Nasdaq 100 <\/a>debut is se<\/span>t for July 7. It marks the fastest index inclusion on record.<\/p>\n

A quarter-end rally<\/a> followed cooling jobs data and an Iran ceasefire. Together, they pushed indexes to fresh highs into the close.<\/p>\n

SBF´s Pardon Play From Behind Bars<\/h2>\n

Market watchers view the tweet as part of a broader image campaign. Bankman-Fried wants to reposition himself as a market-savvy voice in traditional finance. That framing beats being remembered as the architect of an $8 billion collapse.<\/p>\n

The framing lines up with his legal strategy. Bankman-Fried filed for a presidential pardon<\/a> through the Justice Department in early June. Trump, however, has repeatedly ruled out clemency for him.<\/p>\n

That bid faces long odds. A federal appeals court upheld his conviction and sentence<\/a> earlier in June. Judges rejected claims that the trial judge excluded key evidence. The post follows the same playbook, aiming to reshape his image while his appeal continues.<\/p>\n

FTX Token FTT Pumps, Then Crashes Back<\/h2>\n

Automated trading bots reacted within minutes to SBF’s X post. The FTX token<\/a>FTT, briefly jumped by as much as 11%. It then erased the entire move just as fast.<\/p>\n

FTT now trades near $0.23, still far below its 2021 all-time high near $84. The token sits just above its multi-year low of $0.22, reached in early June. <\/p>\n

Total FTT trading volume remains thin compared to major tokens. The swift reversal suggests thin liquidity, not renewed conviction, drove the spike.<\/p>\n

Bankman-Fried’s proxy may keep posting market commentary. Whether it works depends on how much credibility, not just attention, the effort can still buy him.<\/p>\n
