Backpack Exchange 收购 FTX EU，标志着整个欧盟的战略扩张

由前 FTX 和 Alameda Research 员工创立的加密货币平台 Backpack Exchange 已正式收购已停业的 FTX 交易所的欧洲分支机构 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 员工创立的加密货币平台 Backpack 已收购已解散的 FTX 交易所的欧洲分支机构 FTX EU，此举将使 Backpack 能够向整个欧盟用户提供包括永续期货在内的加密衍生品。

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.

此次收购已获得 FTX 破产法院和塞浦路斯证券交易委员会 (CySEC) 的批准，作为法院批准的破产索赔计划的一部分，Backpack EU 还将监督向前 FTX EU 客户的资金分配。

“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 首席执行官阿玛尼·费兰特 (Armani Ferrante) 表示：“这一步骤对于重建加密行业的信任至关重要。” “我们致力于确保资金快速安全地返还，因为客户赔偿仍然是我们战略的基石。”

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 最初称为 Digital Assets AG，​​总部位于瑞士，于 2021 年被 FTX 以 3.23 亿美元收购。然而，FTX 于 2022 年底倒闭，使其欧洲分支机构面临运营和法律不确定性。

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.

经过包括 Coinbase 在内的多家公司几个月的兴趣后，FTX EU 最终于 2024 年 2 月以 3270 万美元的价格卖回给其原始创始人。这次出售为 Backpack 介入并确保收购铺平了道路。

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 计划重新激活 FTX EU 的运营许可证，并于 2025 年第一季度重新启动。该公司将通过其支持渠道提供有关资产访问和新用户入门的最新信息。

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 于 2024 年 11 月决定将 FTX EU 服务的暂停再延长六个月。虽然暂停会阻止该平台提供服务或广告，但它确实允许处理交易并将资金返还给现有客户——这是 Backpack EU 现在准备处理的功能。

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.

此次收购标志着 Backpack 公司翻开了新篇章，该公司由 Solana 开发商 Ferrante 于 2022 年创立。 Backpack 最初从 FTX 和 Jump Crypto 获得了 2000 万美元的资金，但在 FTX 崩溃期间面临着巨大的挑战，损失了 1450 万美元——占其运营资金的 88%。

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

尽管遭受了这些损失，该公司还是表现出了韧性，利用其创新团队和战略收购重建了其在加密货币市场的地位。

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 联合创始人 Tristan Yver 在 FTX 工作了两年，于 2022 年 5 月离职，他为我们带来了更多专业知识。他的行业经验在 Backpack 应对欧洲加密货币市场复杂性的战略制定过程中发挥了重要作用。

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 许可证的重新激活及其服务将于 2025 年重新推出，预计将使 Backpack 成为该地区的领先参与者，提供先进的交易解决方案并重新关注客户满意度。

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.

欧洲加密货币市场充满挑战和机遇。监管合规性，特别是在 CySEC 的监督下，对于 Backpack 的成功至关重要。然而，收购 FTX EU 提供了竞争优势，可以访问已建立的用户群并获得监管部门的批准。

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

通过优先考虑客户赔偿和提供创新服务，Backpack 旨在将自己打造成市场上值得信赖的品牌。
