Backpack Exchange 收購 FTX EU，標誌著整個歐盟的戰略擴張

由前 FTX 和 Alameda Research 員工創立的加密貨幣平台 Backpack Exchange 已正式收購已關閉的 FTX 交易所的歐洲分公司 FTX EU。

Backpack, a cryptocurrency platform founded by former FTX and Alameda Research employees, has acquired FTX EU, the European arm of the defunct FTX exchange, in a move that will allow Backpack to offer crypto derivatives, including perpetual futures, to users throughout the EU.

由前 FTX 和 Alameda Research 員工創立的加密貨幣平台 Backpack 已收購已解散的 FTX 交易所的歐洲分支機構 FTX EU，此舉將使 Backpack 能夠向整個歐盟用戶提供包括永續期貨在內的加密衍生品。

The acquisition, which was approved by the FTX bankruptcy court and the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC), will also see Backpack EU oversee the distribution of funds to former FTX EU customers, as part of the court-approved bankruptcy claims plan.

此次收購已獲得 FTX 破產法院和塞浦路斯證券交易委員會 (CySEC) 的批准，作為法院批准的破產索賠計劃的一部分，Backpack EU 還將監督向前 FTX EU 客戶的資金分配。

“This step is critical for rebuilding trust in the crypto industry,” said Backpack CEO Armani Ferrante. “We are committed to ensuring that funds are returned quickly and safely, as customer restitution remains a cornerstone of our strategy.”

Backpack 執行長阿瑪尼費蘭特 (Armani Ferrante) 表示：“這一步驟對於重建加密行業的信任至關重要。” “我們致力於確保資金快速安全地返還，因為客戶賠償仍然是我們策略的基石。”

FTX EU, which was originally known as Digital Assets AG and was based in Switzerland, was acquired by FTX in 2021 for $323 million. However, the collapse of FTX in late 2022 left its European arm in operational and legal uncertainty.

FTX EU 最初稱為 Digital Assets AG，​​總部位於瑞士，於 2021 年被 FTX 以 3.23 億美元收購。然而，FTX 於 2022 年底倒閉，使其歐洲分公司面臨營運和法律不確定性。

After months of interest from various firms, including Coinbase, FTX EU was ultimately sold back to its original founders for $32.7 million in February 2024. This sale paved the way for Backpack to step in and secure the acquisition.

經過包括Coinbase 在內的多家公司幾個月的興趣後，FTX EU 最終於2024 年2 月以3,270 萬美元的價格賣回給其原始創始人。道路。

Backpack plans to reactivate the operational license for FTX EU, with a relaunch set for the first quarter of 2025. The company will be providing updates on asset access and new user onboarding through its support channels.

Backpack 計劃重新啟動 FTX EU 的營運許可證，並於 2025 年第一季重新啟動。

CySEC had decided in November 2024 to extend the suspension of FTX EU’s services for another six months. While the suspension prevents the platform from offering services or advertising, it does allow for the processing of transactions and the return of funds to existing clients—a function that Backpack EU is now set to handle.

CySEC 於 2024 年 11 月決定將 FTX EU 服務的暫停再延長六個月。雖然暫停會阻止​​該平台提供服務或廣告，但它確實允許處理交易並將資金退還給現有客戶——這是 Backpack EU 現在準備處理的功能。

The acquisition marks a new chapter for Backpack, a company that was founded in 2022 by Solana developer Ferrante. Initially funded with $20 million from FTX and Jump Crypto, Backpack faced significant challenges during FTX’s collapse, losing $14.5 million—88% of its operating funds.

這項收購標誌著 Backpack 公司翻開了新篇章，該公司由 Solana 開發商 Ferrante 於 2022 年創立。 Backpack 最初從 FTX 和 Jump Crypto 獲得了 2000 萬美元的資金，但在 FTX 崩潰期間面臨著巨大的挑戰，損失了 1450 萬美元——佔其營運資金的 88%。

Despite these losses, the company has demonstrated resilience, leveraging its innovative team and strategic acquisitions to rebuild its presence in the crypto market.

儘管遭受了這些損失，該公司還是表現出了韌性，利用其創新團隊和策略性收購重建了其在加密貨幣市場的地位。

Backpack co-founder Tristan Yver, who worked at FTX for two years before leaving in May 2022, brings additional expertise to the table. His industry experience has been instrumental in shaping Backpack’s strategy as the company navigates the complexities of the European crypto market.

Backpack 聯合創始人 Tristan Yver 在 FTX 工作了兩年，並於 2022 年 5 月離職，他為我們帶來了更多專業知識。他的產業經驗在 Backpack 應對歐洲加密貨幣市場複雜性的策略制定過程中發揮了重要作用。

The reactivation of the FTX EU license and the relaunch of its services in 2025 are expected to position Backpack as a leading player in the region, offering advanced trading solutions and a renewed focus on customer satisfaction.

FTX EU 許可證的重新啟動及其服務將於 2025 年重新推出，預計將使 Backpack 成為該地區的領先參與者，提供先進的交易解決方案並重新專注於客戶滿意度。

The European crypto market presents a mix of challenges and opportunities. Regulatory compliance, particularly under CySEC’s oversight, will be crucial for Backpack’s success. However, the acquisition of FTX EU provides a competitive advantage, granting access to an established user base and regulatory approval.

歐洲加密貨幣市場充滿挑戰與機會。監管合規性，特別是在 CySEC 的監督下，對於 Backpack 的成功至關重要。然而，收購 FTX EU 提供了競爭優勢，可以存取已建立的用戶群並獲得監管部門的批准。

By prioritizing customer restitution and delivering innovative services, Backpack aims to distinguish itself as a trusted name in the market.

透過優先考慮客戶賠償和提供創新服務，Backpack 旨在將自己打造成市場上值得信賴的品牌。
