BackpackBP price and how to buy
SolanaToken of the Backpack wallet and exchange.
What BP is
Backpack started as a Solana wallet known for xNFTs and grew into a full exchange offering spot and derivatives trading, with a licensed entity behind it.
BP is its token. Unusually for this list, it sits behind a business with actual trading revenue rather than a pure narrative.
You need SOL or USDC first
BP is bought by swapping something you already hold for it, so an empty wallet cannot buy any. If yours is empty, start here.
How to get your first SOLWhat BP is used for
BP is the token of a wallet that grew into a licensed exchange, so unlike most of this list it sits behind a business with actual trading revenue.
It is held as a position on that exchange's volume, in the way exchange tokens generally are.
It is unusual on this list for having a regulated entity behind it, which changes the kind of risk rather than the amount of it.
How BP trades
This is the token on this list where the headline number is most misleading. Its market capitalisation is large relative to how much of it actually trades on Solana, so a modest order can move the price further than the size suggests. Read the price impact in the quote rather than reasoning from the market cap, because on this token those two numbers tell different stories.
Common mistakes
Judging how easily a token trades by its market capitalisation goes wrong here more than anywhere else on this list. A large valuation on thin on-chain liquidity means the price moves on order sizes that would be invisible elsewhere.
An exchange token tracks its venue's volume, and volume falls hard in quiet markets. The business being real does not make the income steady.
A licensed entity behind a token changes which risks apply rather than removing them. Regulation constrains the operator; it does not underwrite the token's price.
A wallet holding only BP cannot sell it, because fees on Solana are always paid in SOL.
