The question is how and why FTX became big given that BitMEX already existed.

Bitmex is very much a niche exchange, it only offers a handful of perps. FTX will let you trade pretty much any thing you can think of (crypto perps/spot, stocks, political elections, etc.)

BitMEX was engulfed in controversy (lawsuits and investigation) around the time FTX launched.
