Launch Timeline and Product Offerings

Backpack EU is expected to go live in the first quarter of 2025, pending the reactivation of its MiFID II license. The new entity will integrate traditional payment systems to ensure seamless transactions. The platform will offer perpetual futures and comprehensive crypto derivatives tailored for institutional and retail traders.
