Finally, Real Stocks Backpack

Why did @Backpack and @sunrisedefi partner on this? Simple. We're both building toward the same outcome… crypto isn't a separate thing. There's just one global market, open 24/7. 👏 And we're bringing that future closer. This is going to materially accelerate @solana spot markets. More liquidit

Will share more on this soon. It’s been over three years in the making to get to this point, but the holy trinity has been achieved. The only other exchange in the world that has gotten regulated perps, spot, and payments live in the EU is Kraken. The other will be Backpack. We’re coming Europe.
