      FalconX Launches Prime Connect: A Comprehensive Solution for Mitigating Exchange Counterparty Risk in Partnership with Deribit

      Published: just now

      FalconX

      Digital Asset prime broker FalconX has announced the release of Prime Connect, an exchange settlement solution designed to provide institutional investors with a secure trading environment on exchanges while ensuring their funds remain in bankruptcy-remote, regulated custody. In today's announcement to the press, FalconX stated, “This new offering marks a pivotal next step in the development of the cryptocurrency industry's market structure”, combining the benefits of secure exchange trading with access to FalconX's comprehensive suite of prime services, including post-trade settlement, institutional-grade credit, and portfolio margining.

       

      Vivek Chauhan, Principal Product Manager at FalconX, highlighted the importance of Prime Connect in addressing the critical needs of institutional investors in the digital asset space, stating, "FalconX's Prime Connect caters to the critical needs of institutional investors trading in digital assets. We are pleased to launch Prime Connect with Deribit and look forward to providing our full suite of prime services which allow institutions to confidently scale their digital assets portfolios while trading on exchanges."

       

      Traditionally, institutional investors faced challenges when trading on exchanges, as they were required to hold capital on exchanges and manage risk at an exchange level, limiting their ability to scale . FalconX's Prime Connect enables institutional traders to benefit from improved execution and stable credit lines, along with portfolio margining. This approach enhances capital efficiency and risk management without compromising asset security, as client assets remain in custody, segregated from both the exchange's and FalconX's assets.

       

      Deribit, a leading derivatives exchange, has been selected as the first exchange to partner with FalconX for the launch of Prime Connect. Luuk Strijers, CEO of Deribit, commented on the collaboration, stating, "We are thrilled to be the first exchange that FalconX is partnering with to launch its off-exchange settlement solution. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in providing institutional investors with access to our offering coupled with FalconX's full suite of prime services that will enhance client trading capabilities and financial flexibility."

       

      Leading institutional trading firms, such as Hyperithm, have already recognised the potential of FalconX's Prime Connect and are leveraging the platform to trade on Deribit. Jonggu Lee, Chief Investment Officer at Hyperithm, ecommented, "In the fast-paced world of crypto trading, having a reliable partner like FalconX that provides comprehensive market access along with robust credit and portfolio-margining is invaluable. The launch of FalconX's Prime Connect will mitigate counterparty risk and enhance our operational workflow. We are excited to leverage this platform to its full potential."

       

      FalconX's Prime Connect is built on the foundation of the company's regulated custody solution, ensuring that client assets held in FalconX Custody are bankruptcy-remote. While many solutions focus solely on security, FalconX's custody is designed to seamlessly integrate with its suite of prime brokerage services, including the provision of credit.

       

      In the coming months, Prime Connect will be available on other global exchanges, allowing exchanges integrated with the platform to tap into a network of premier institutional traders seeking the transformative benefits offered by FalconX's comprehensive solution.

      Most FX and CFD brokers believe their reporting is accurate. Few can explain precisely how their volume figures are calculated, how spread revenue is derived, or how multi-currency denominations affect their net profit numbers. Inaccurate brokerage reporting is one of the industry's least discussed problems - management teams are making decisions, filing regulatory returns and reporting to stakeholders based on figures that contain systematic errors. This article explains why accurate brokerage reporting is genuinely complex, what the most common sources of error are, and what brokers can do to get their numbers right.
