Product news

Backpack announces tokenized UVXY on Solana ↗

The October 17 announcement adds a tokenized volatility-linked product. It is a leveraged ETF exposure, not a cash-like holding.

The underlying fund targets 1.5 times the daily move of a short-term VIX futures index, not 1.5 times the VIX itself. Daily rebalancing can cause longer-term performance to diverge. Verify the issuer, contract address and redemption eligibility using the official announcement before considering the product.

AI Search: find markets in your own words ↗

Backpack’s new guide explains natural-language search across stocks, crypto, perpetuals and Earn, with follow-up filters and saved watchlists.

Open the search bar after signing in and select AI Search. Inspect the interpreted filters, refine the query and save a watchlist or screener. Search matches are not buy recommendations or return predictions. The source displays October 16 as its publication date; access depends on the official product interface.

Unpack Real Stocks · Week 3 ↗

Opt in before trading. The first mystery box requires $10,000 of eligible volume. Rewards vary; $1,000 is the rare maximum, not a guaranteed payout.

Runs October 14–20 UTC. KYC and a $100 account balance at close are required. Crypto spot and perpetuals count; stock spot, USDT/USDC, converts, API and liquidation volume do not. Market makers are excluded. Boxes open October 22–29. Reward value and regional eligibility follow official terms. Activity eligibility is separate from affiliate fee sharing: Equity Perps do not receive our 20% fee benefit.

Product news

Stock limit orders added to the API ↗

The October 14 API changelog documents stock limit orders and cancellation support.

The documented stock RFQ limit flow supports expiry of up to ten minutes. Partial fills settle and the unfilled remainder is cancelled. This is an API feature announcement, not evidence that API volume qualifies for a promotional campaign.
