FalconX has announced its expansion into Latin America, bringing its institutional prime brokerage platform to a region rapidly building out digital asset infrastructure. The move extends FalconX’s global growth strategy following recent rollouts across APAC and EMEA.
Now partnering with major players such as BTG Pactual and Mercado Bitcoin, FalconX aims to provide Latin America’s largest financial institutions with tools for capital efficiency, deep global liquidity, and execution infrastructure.
“Latin America is one of the fastest-growing regions for crypto adoption”
Josh Barkhordar, Head of Americas, Sales at FalconX, commented, “Latin America is one of the fastest-growing regions for crypto adoption, supported by a tech-forward financial sector, early regulatory frameworks, and real economic drivers. As we continue to expand our global footprint, we’re proud to support leading financial institutions across the region with world-class execution, tailored solutions, and deep global liquidity.”
Mercado Bitcoin, one of Brazil’s earliest digital asset platforms, is among FalconX’s regional partners. Reinaldo Rabelo, CEO of Mercado Bitcoin, commented, “FalconX’s expansion into Latin America is a significant step toward strengthening the region’s institutional digital asset ecosystem. We admire the work already underway globally and, as a pioneering company operating in Brazil since 2013, Mercado Bitcoin values the presence of players who contribute to a more robust and institutional digital asset ecosystem.”
BTG Pactual, one of the region’s largest investment banks, is also engaging FalconX’s infrastructure. Andre Portilho, Head of Digital Assets at BTG Pactual, commented, “FalconX’s institutional infrastructure accelerates our ability to deliver seamless crypto solutions at the speed the market demands. Their deep liquidity and global execution capabilities give us a meaningful edge as we continue to lead digital asset adoption across Latin America’s evolving financial landscape.”
FalconX offers prime brokerage services tailored for institutional users, including trading, credit, settlement, and risk management. Its expansion into Latin America aims to meet growing demand from banks, asset managers, and fintechs seeking to scale their digital asset operations with trusted infrastructure.
The region has seen increased institutional interest in crypto due to macroeconomic volatility, growing retail adoption, and proactive regulatory development. FalconX’s presence is expected to support further institutional entry into the space by providing access to global markets and standardized execution.
The company said additional partnerships and product offerings tailored for the Latin American market are under development as it deepens its presence in the region.
