A Game-Changer for the European Crypto Market

This deal allows Backpack Exchange to lead in Europe's regulated crypto trading by filling the void left by unregulated offshore exchanges. The new Backpack EU entity is set to offer perpetual futures and crypto derivatives, addressing an underserved market.

Importance of Regulatory Compliance

“Customer restitution is a crucial step to rebuild confidence in the industry. Backpack is committed to returning FTX EU customers’ funds as fast and as safely as possible.”Armani Ferrante

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.

The acquisition of FTX EU opens new opportunities for Backpack Exchange, enabling the company to significantly expand its presence in Europe and offer clients reliable and regulated crypto trading.
