Mad Lads NFTs Rise After Backpack Announces FTX Acquisition

Mad Lads NFTs jumped 19% after Backpack (its parent company) announced acquiring FTX Europe’s assets, including the MiFID II exchange license.

• Following the announcement, FTX estate said that Backpack’s statement was premature and not approved by FTX or the U.S. Bankruptcy Court (despite the acquisition being part of a settlement agreement).

• Speculators may have driven the price increase, hoping for benefits tied to Backpack’s acquisition, which could enable perpetual trading for European users and the return of FTX Europe funds.

• Mad Lads holders gain VIP 1 status on Backpack Exchange, with potential rewards like airdrops from previous exchange seasons, fueling additional interest in the NFTs.

• However, Mad Lads’ price corrected sharply to $16.2K after the initial spike—alongside the broader market experiencing a downturn.
