Backpack Exchange 收购 FTX EU，计划在整个欧盟提供全套加密货币衍生品

FTX EU 是 Sam Bankman-Fried 现已破产的加密货币交易帝国的欧洲分支机构，已被出售给 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 员工创立的加密货币交易公司 Backpack Exchange 以 3270 万美元收购了 Sam Bankman Fried 现已破产的加密货币交易帝国的欧洲子公司 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 持有塞浦路斯证券交易委员会 (CySEC) 的金融工具市场指令 (MiFID II) 许可证，现在 Backpack 将使用 FTX EU 在整个欧盟提供全套加密货币衍生品。

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

Backpack 首席执行官阿玛尼·费兰特 (Armani Ferrante) 表示，该公司将利用其作为欧洲唯一受监管的永续期货提供商的地位。

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.

多家加密货币交易公司已申请 MiFID 许可证，一旦通知相关国家主管机构，该许可证也将允许他们根据欧洲新的加密资产市场 (MiCA) 制度提供加密资产服务。

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，而总部位于荷兰的D2X公司也已获得牌照，并计划在今年年初推出以美元计价的期货和期权。其他新进入者也旨在将加密货币衍生品市场的主导地位从总部位于巴拿马的中心化交易所 Deribit 手中夺走。

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，该公司的 MiCA 通知已经提交，预计将于 2025 年第一季度上线。

“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.”

费兰特通过 Blockworks 告诉 Blockworks：“尽管有一些公司已经获得了有限形式的衍生品许可证的批准，但我们不知道目前有任何在欧盟提供永续合约的公司，包括 Coinbase 和 Bitstamp。”电子邮件。 “一旦我们返还 FTX EU 客户的资金，我们很高兴开始优先提供受监管的永续期货产品。”

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

费兰特补充说，一整套产品正在开发中，尽管其中一些可能不会在第一季度推出。

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 的创始人为 Solana 生态系统做出了贡献，并建立了成功的钱包和 NFT 业务，去年筹集了 1700 万美元的资金。
