Cryptocurrency exchange Backpack has partnered with global crypto on-ramp provider Banxa for a digital asset on- and off-ramp solution.
Backpack users in over 130 countries will be able to use the new on-ramp solution, <a href="https://twitter.com/BanxaOfficial/status/1759439513213083926" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">according</a> to Banxa’s Feb. 19&nbsp;&nbsp;announcement&nbsp;on X. Backpack Exchange was launched by the creators of Solana’s Mad Lads executable nonfungible token (NFT) collection.
The partnership is viewed as a positive step for Backpack users and the exchange’s user experience, according to Anndy Lian, intergovernmental blockchain expert and author of the book NFT: From Zero to Hero. He told Cointelegraph:
“[The partnership] enables Backpack users to easily buy and sell crypto with fiat currencies using various payment methods, such as credit cards, bank transfers, and e-wallets. This will help increase the adoption and liquidity of Backpack and its supported tokens.”
The announcement came after Backpack surpassed $1 billion in 24-hour trading volume on Feb. 18, within four days of the launch of its trading pre-season. <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/mad-lads-backpack-300-m-trading-volume">Backpack surpassed $300 million</a> in daily trading volume within 24 hours on Feb. 15
