FalconX, the leading institutional digital asset prime broker, has marked a significant milestone in its global expansion strategy by launching operations in Latin America. This move comes as the region experiences rapid growth in institutional crypto adoption, fueled by a tech-forward financial sector and emerging regulatory frameworks.
The firm has already begun working with some of Latin America’s most prominent financial institutions, including Brazil’s BTG Pactual and Mercado Bitcoin, one of the region’s largest cryptocurrency platforms. With this expansion, FalconX is now delivering its comprehensive suite of prime brokerage services ranging from deep global liquidity and capital efficiency tools to enterprise-grade infrastructure to support institutional clients looking to scale their digital asset operations with speed and confidence.
