How crypto exchange Backpack climbed its way to success after its major investor FTX died Backpack hit $27.5 billion in total trading volume during its beta phaseBackpack’s founders, who are building a crypto exchange and wallet, have experienced strong growth since launching in 2022. There’s a bunch of lessons to learn from FTX, Ferrante said. This is done in hopes that there’s no single point of failure and that the operations of the Backpack crypto exchange can be split up across multiple entities. At the end of February, Backpack raised $17 million at a $120 million valuation in a Series A round led by Placeholder VC.
