FalconX expanded its client-facing trading business throughout 2026 across multiple asset classes, positioning itself to capture institutional demand as traditional and digital markets converge. The acquisition accelerates development of new trading, financing, and prime brokerage capabilities while strengthening support for clients navigating tokenized markets across both traditional and digital assets.
