Who are we?
FalconX is a pioneering team of operators, investors, and builders committed to revolutionizing institutional access to the crypto markets. Operating at the intersection of traditional finance and cutting-edge technology, FalconX addresses the industry's foremost challenges: Navigating the digital asset market can be complex and fragmented, with limited products and services that support trading strategies, structures, and liquidity found in conventional financial markets. As a comprehensive solution for all digital asset strategies from start to scale, FalconX operates as the connective tissue empowering clients with seamless navigation through the ever- evolving cryptocurrency landscape.
It's an exciting time in the world of finance. We're witnessing the birth of a new way to provide prime brokerage services with the rise of crypto assets, tokenization, and AI.
At FalconX, the most advanced digital asset platform for institutions, we're spearheading this revolution. We offer trade execution, credit & treasury management, prime services, and market-making. Our global operations, cutting-edge technology, and deep liquidity have facilitated over $1 trillion in client transaction volume. Our regulated, compliant products and services are trusted by some of the most sophisticated investors in the space.
Our team comprises engineers, product builders, institutional sales & trading leaders, operations experts, and business strategists. Our teammates have entrepreneurial experience and come from companies such as Google, Paypal, Citadel, Bridgewater, JP Morgan, and Goldman Sachs.
We embody our core values: Think big, drive bold outcomes, be one team, iterate with speed, and embrace entrepreneurship.
We prioritize learning alongside mission-critical outcomes, believing that lessons from both successes and failures fuel our continued growth. In our emergent industry, there's no shortage of opportunities to experiment, grow, and learn collectively.
