Throughout the segment, an array of on-screen graphics and tickers appear—including "Backpack 24/7 Trading," Bitcoin/USD at $64,171.10 (+1.53%), Fair Value metrics for the S&P, DJIA, and NASDAQ, SanDisk Corp (SNDK) at $1,786.00, and Circle Internet Group (CRCL) at $64.12 (+1.76%)—as the discussion shifts between topics like "Real Assets vs. Tokenized Securities," "Growing Demand for 24/7 Trading," and "International Investors Trading Stocks & ETFs." Ferrante appears to be explaining Backpack's role as a "neo-broker" offering tokenized U.S. equities via the Solana blockchain, with the segment framed as a market alert on CNBC's streaming platform.

00:34 Cos'è Backpack?
Il tuo neo-broker.

[Spoken audio]: Joining me now is Armani Ferrante, co-founder and CEO of Backpack, which is launching the first 24-7 trading of U.S. equities for international investors. Armani, it's great to have you on the show and it's interesting. I feel like we opened up the hour talking about giving international companies greater access to U.S. markets, but now you and I are going to talk about giving international investors greater access to U.S. markets as well. So what does that mean for Backpack? Yeah. Thank you so much, Morgan. I'm super excited to be here. Good morning. Maybe I should say good evening. I'm calling in from Tokyo. Just real quick, you know, backpack is a modern brokerage, but we're not just brokerage. The product looks and feels a bit like a neobank, but it's not correct to call it a bank. You know, we're a crypto exchange, but not just crypto exchange. Backpack is a globally regulated financial institution for the future of money and right now we are in the early innings of this incredible transformation of global finance all around the world. And this is being built on the back of tokenization. It's being built on the back of blockchain technology. And this is really what the crypto industry which admittedly it might feel a bit mysterious sometimes. This is what the crypto industry is all about. And so we're super excited to be going live with 24 seven trading of real US equities through the brokerage for the first time going live today. I'm gonna be more excited about it. Yeah and to your point I mean we've heard a lot about tokenized securities and sort of and the role that blockchain is playing in enabling this financial infrastructure financial services infrastructure of the future but how is what you're offering when we talk about specifically the stocks themselves how is this different than what else is out there? Yeah. It's a great question. Really, it boils down to what is the asset you're trading, right? Are you trading a genuine stock, a genuine security entitlement, or are you trading something else? You know, maybe taking a step back for a moment, 24-7 trading has been around for a while in crypto. This was really the core innovation that tokenization initially brought to the world. And if you take a look at what the tokenized stock issuers are doing today, what they're really doing is they're taking, you know, a traditional brokerage, they put stocks into it, then they wrap it into a completely separate security, a completely separate instrument that has different properties than what you would expect from a traditional brokerage. These properties might be different legal rights. They might be cash settled, and so they might be more akin to something like a CFD rather than an actual security entitlement. And so when you're going back and forth between these different representations of different assets, even though it might be the same symbol, at least at the surface. Really what we're talking about most of the time is we're talking about these derivatives or synthetic assets that are these approximations for giving price exposure to an actual stock. And so what we're doing is really for the first time opening up 24 seven trading for a genuine bona fide security entitlement. Markets will close on Friday in the US and And over the weekend, Saturday and Sunday, people through the backpack brokerage will continue to trade and they'll get the exact same asset that you would expect from your neighborhood brokerage account. Okay, and you're starting with three names that have been pretty heavily traded this year, Micron, Sandisk, and I realize it's only been trading for less than a month here, but SpaceX as well. What does 24-7 international access for, what does that mean for the global capital that's flowing into the US stock market, especially at a time where really over the last, I'd call it year and a half, we've actually seen some of those international investor flows flow out of things like the US bond market. So Jetson Huang from NVIDIA, he loves to say that the world needs to build on the American tech stack. But we don't talk enough about the world building on the US capital market. And that's really the thing that's happening with crypto right now. And there's no better example of this than what's been happening with stablecoins as they exploded over the past couple of years. where, you know, what's a stable coin, right? It's, you know, you have cash sitting in a bank account, you tokenize it, you put it on the blockchain. Maybe from a domestic point of view, a stable coin is a story about efficiency, the story about upgrading the existing financial system. But when you look internationally, it's a very different story, right? It's a story about access. It's a story about the entire world wanting access to US dollars, even if they don't have access to local USD banking rails. And the consequence of this has been pretty clear over the past couple of years, where you have Circle, you have Tether, Grow to be some of the largest holders of U.S. Treasuries all around the world. And so in the exact same way that U.S. dollars have really been exported to the entire world and proliferated through kind of the form factor of a stable coin, we fully expect tokenization of U.S. equities to have the exact same effect, but for publicly traded companies in the U.S. all around the world. Super interesting. I'll try and we'll continue to track here. Armani Farante of Backpack. Great to have you on. you. Yeah, thank you so much, Morgan."

Tu neobrokerage. Tu

[Spoken audio]: Joining me now is Armani Ferrante, co-founder and CEO of Backpack, which is launching the first 24-7 trading of U.S. equities for international investors. Armani, it's great to have you on the show and it's interesting. I feel like we opened up the hour talking about giving international companies greater access to U.S. markets, but now you and I are going to talk about giving international investors greater access to U.S. markets as well. So what does that mean for Backpack? Yeah. Thank you so much, Morgan. I'm super excited to be here. Good morning. Maybe I should say good evening. I'm calling in from Tokyo. Just real quick, you know, backpack is a modern brokerage, but we're not just brokerage. The product looks and feels a bit like a neobank, but it's not correct to call it a bank. You know, we're a crypto exchange, but not just crypto exchange. Backpack is a globally regulated financial institution for the future of money and right now we are in the early innings of this incredible transformation of global finance all around the world. And this is being built on the back of tokenization. It's being built on the back of blockchain technology. And this is really what the crypto industry which admittedly it might feel a bit mysterious sometimes. This is what the crypto industry is all about. And so we're super excited to be going live with 24 seven trading of real US equities through the brokerage for the first time going live today. I'm gonna be more excited about it. Yeah and to your point I mean we've heard a lot about tokenized securities and sort of and the role that blockchain is playing in enabling this financial infrastructure financial services infrastructure of the future but how is what you're offering when we talk about specifically the stocks themselves how is this different than what else is out there? Yeah. It's a great question. Really, it boils down to what is the asset you're trading, right? Are you trading a genuine stock, a genuine security entitlement, or are you trading something else? You know, maybe taking a step back for a moment, 24-7 trading has been around for a while in crypto. This was really the core innovation that tokenization initially brought to the world. And if you take a look at what the tokenized stock issuers are doing today, what they're really doing is they're taking, you know, a traditional brokerage, they put stocks into it, then they wrap it into a completely separate security, a completely separate instrument that has different properties than what you would expect from a traditional brokerage. These properties might be different legal rights. They might be cash settled, and so they might be more akin to something like a CFD rather than an actual security entitlement. And so when you're going back and forth between these different representations of different assets, even though it might be the same symbol, at least at the surface. Really what we're talking about most of the time is we're talking about these derivatives or synthetic assets that are these approximations for giving price exposure to an actual stock. And so what we're doing is really for the first time opening up 24 seven trading for a genuine bona fide security entitlement. Markets will close on Friday in the US and And over the weekend, Saturday and Sunday, people through the backpack brokerage will continue to trade and they'll get the exact same asset that you would expect from your neighborhood brokerage account. Okay, and you're starting with three names that have been pretty heavily traded this year, Micron, Sandisk, and I realize it's only been trading for less than a month here, but SpaceX as well. What does 24-7 international access for, what does that mean for the global capital that's flowing into the US stock market, especially at a time where really over the last, I'd call it year and a half, we've actually seen some of those international investor flows flow out of things like the US bond market. So Jetson Huang from NVIDIA, he loves to say that the world needs to build on the American tech stack. But we don't talk enough about the world building on the US capital market. And that's really the thing that's happening with crypto right now. And there's no better example of this than what's been happening with stablecoins as they exploded over the past couple of years. where, you know, what's a stable coin, right? It's, you know, you have cash sitting in a bank account, you tokenize it, you put it on the blockchain. Maybe from a domestic point of view, a stable coin is a story about efficiency, the story about upgrading the existing financial system. But when you look internationally, it's a very different story, right? It's a story about access. It's a story about the entire world wanting access to US dollars, even if they don't have access to local USD banking rails. And the consequence of this has been pretty clear over the past couple of years, where you have Circle, you have Tether, Grow to be some of the largest holders of U.S. Treasuries all around the world. And so in the exact same way that U.S. dollars have really been exported to the entire world and proliferated through kind of the form factor of a stable coin, we fully expect tokenization of U.S. equities to have the exact same effect, but for publicly traded companies in the U.S. all around the world. Super interesting. I'll try and we'll continue to track here. Armani Farante of Backpack. Great to have you on. you. Yeah, thank you so much, Morgan."
