FTX was previously an early investor in Backpack, and Backpack lost approximately 90% of its treasury following FTX's collapse.
Backpack acquired FTX EU for a little over 30 million euros, with approval from the FTX bankruptcy court and the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission. The acquisition was intended to leverage FTX EU's MiFID II license for crypto derivatives including perpetual futures. Backpack began reimbursing former FTX EU customers, estimating around 100,000 affected users and more than 50 million euros to be returned, while pausing new EU customer onboarding as it pursues a MiCA license. Following FTX's collapse, Backpack also emphasized proof-of-reserves as a core part of its operational approach.
