The centralized crypto trading platform Backpack Exchange, created by former FTX and Alameda executives, announced the issuance of a token with a total supply of 1 billion, with the distribution mechanism directly linked to its goal of going public in the U.S. The first batch of token issuance will release 25% (250 million), and an additional 37.5% (375 million) will be unlocked upon reaching key milestones, including entering new markets or launching new products. The remaining 375 million will be locked for one year after the company goes public and will be deposited into the treasury.Backpack co-founder and CEO Armani Ferrante emphasized that the core principle of the token unlocking mechanism is to prevent insiders from cashing out before retail investors. To this end, the company's founders, executives, team members, and venture capitalists have not received any direct token allocations, and the team currently holds only equity in the company rather than tokens. This means that team members cannot gain any wealth returns through tokens until the company completes its IPO or undergoes other equity exit events.Previously, Axios reported that Backpack is in talks to raise $50 million at a $1 billion valuation, potentially becoming the latest unicorn in the crypto industry.
