Backpack Exchange 收購 FTX EU，並計劃在整個歐盟提供全套加密貨幣衍生品

FTX EU 是 Sam Bankman-Fried 現已破產的加密貨幣交易帝國的歐洲分支機構，已出售給 Backpack Exchange。

Backpack Exchange, a crypto trading company founded by former Alameda Research and FTX employees, has acquired FTX EU, the European arm of Sam Bankman Fried’s now-bankrupt cryptocurrency trading empire, for $32.7 million.

由前 Alameda Research 和 FTX 員工創立的加密貨幣交易公司 Backpack Exchange 以 3,270 萬美元收購了 Sam Bankman Fried 現已破產的加密貨幣交易帝國的歐洲子公司 FTX EU。

FTX EU, which held a Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II) license under the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC), will now be used by Backpack to offer a full suite of crypto derivatives throughout the EU.

FTX EU 持有塞浦路斯證券交易委員會 (CySEC) 的金融工具市場指令 (MiFID II) 許可證，現在 Backpack 將使用 FTX EU 在整個歐盟提供全套加密貨幣衍生性商品。

According to Backpack CEO Armani Ferrante, the company will capitalize on its position as the only regulated perpetual futures provider across Europe.

Backpack 執行長 Armani Ferrante 表示，該公司將利用其作為歐洲唯一受監管的永續期貨提供者的地位。

Several crypto trading firms have applied for a MiFID license, which will also allow them to offer crypto-asset services under Europe’s new Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) regime once they notify the relevant competent national authority.

多家加密貨幣交易公司已申請 MiFID 許可證，一旦通知相關國家主管機構，該許可證也將允許他們根據歐洲新的加密資產市場 (MiCA) 制度提供加密資產服務。

Currently, Bitstamp and Coinbase hold MiFID II licenses, while D2X, a Netherlands-based firm, has also been granted a license and plans to launch USD-denominated futures and options early this year. Other new entrants are also aiming to shift the crypto derivatives market dominance away from the likes of Panama-based centralized exchange Deribit.

目前，Bitstamp和Coinbase持有MiFID II牌照，而總部位於荷蘭的D2X公司也已獲得執照，並計劃在今年年初推出以美元計價的期貨和選擇權。其他新進業者也旨在將加密貨幣衍生性商品市場的主導地位從總部位於巴拿馬的中心化交易所 Deribit 手中奪走。

Backpack’s Ferrante said the firm’s MiCA notification has been submitted and that he expects to go live in the first quarter of 2025.

Backpack 的 Ferrante 表示，該公司的 MiCA 通知已經提交，預計將於 2025 年第一季上線。

“Even though a few firms have been able to acquire approval for a limited form of a derivatives license, we’re not aware of any players that currently offer perpetuals and are live in the EU, including Coinbase and Bitstamp,” Ferrante told Blockworks via email. “Once we return FTX EU customers' funds, we’re excited to begin serving a regulated perpetual futures product as a priority.”

費蘭特透過 Blockworks 告訴 Blockworks：「儘管有一些公司已經獲得了有限形式的衍生性商品許可證的批准，但我們不知道目前有任何在歐盟提供永續合約的公司，包括 Coinbase 和 Bitstamp。」電子郵件。 “一旦我們返還 FTX EU 客戶的資金，我們很高興開始優先提供受監管的永續期貨產品。”

A full suite of products is being worked on, Ferrante added, though some of these may not roll out in Q1.

費蘭特補充說，一整套產品正在開發中，儘管其中一些可能不會在第一季推出。

Backpack, whose founders have contributed to the Solana ecosystem and established a successful wallet and NFT business, raised $17 million in funding last year.

Backpack 的創始人為 Solana 生態系統做出了貢獻，並建立了成功的錢包和 NFT 業務，去年籌集了 1700 萬美元的資金。
