Backpack Exchange Acquires FTX EU to Propel Regulated Crypto Derivatives Expansion in Europe

The Acquisition of a Crypto Trading EmpireS ​European‍ Branch by Backpack

In a notable move within the cryptocurrency sector, Backpack acquired ​the insolvent European division of a major crypto trading empire for $32.7 million. This division was previously regulated under⁣ the cyprus Securities and ⁣Exchange Commission (CySEC) with a MiFID ⁢II license.

Introduction to Backpack’s Ambitious Plans in Europe

Backpack Exchange,established by skilled ‌individuals formerly associated with Alameda Research⁢ and ​FTX,has now ⁢incorporated this new asset into ‍it’s operations. The acquisition⁤ will enable Backpack to extend its‌ services across the EU market by launching an array of crypto derivatives that⁢ include exclusive offerings like regulated perpetual futures.

Armani Ferrante, CEO of Backpack Exchange, highlighted thier inaugural position as the only provider licensed to deliver​ perpetual futures ⁣across Europe. Ferrante expressed enthusiasm about leveraging their newly acquired ‌platform to enhance their service offering.

licensing and Regulation: A New Era for Crypto Trading in Europe

The pursuit for MiFID licenses is gaining traction among numerous firms as⁣ it not only‌ facilitates traditional financial‍ services but also covers crypto-asset services ‌under Europe’s refreshed Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) framework once cleared by relevant authorities. Notably, other platforms like‍ Bitstamp and⁢ Coinbase have ‌secured their MiFID ⁢II licenses,⁤ setting benchmarks within the industry.

D2X in the Netherlands recently obtained similar credentials with plans to‌ introduce USD-denominated futures and options soon after start-up. These evolving dynamics are poised to redistribute some market control from prominent exchanges like Deribit based in ⁤Panama wich currently dominate these segments.

Strengthening Market Position Amidst Regulatory Changes

Through strategic regulatory ⁤submissions already underway concerning MiCA compliance requirements — expected live operational date eyed within ⁣Q1 2025 ‍— Ferrante is preparing his firm for pioneering offerings unparalleled by ‍existing EU operations including those managed by central players such as⁤ Coinbase or ‍Bitstamp.

“We are uniquely placed not merely​ thanks to our‌ licensing benefits but more so because we anticipate reinstating funds back into accounts of former customers,” stated Ferrante ‌via correspondence expressing procedural transparency aimed at fostering trust among prospective clientele before solidifying ​their market⁤ position with regulated perpetual futures products prominently featured during initial phase ‍launches later this ⁢year.
