NEW YORK, July 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — FalconX, the leading institutional digital asset prime broker, today announced the next phase of its global growth with expansion into Latin America. Now working with some of Latin America’s largest financial institutions — such as BTG Pactual and Mercado Bitcoin — FalconX is bringing its full-stack execution and prime brokerage platform to one of the world’s fastest-growing institutional crypto markets.
As major banks and asset managers across Latin America build crypto capabilities, FalconX is bringing its full suite of prime brokerage services – including deep global liquidity, capital efficiency tools, and enterprise-grade infrastructure – to support institutions to scale their digital asset operations with confidence.
“FalconX’s expansion into Latin America is a significant step toward strengthening the region’s institutional digital asset ecosystem,” said Reinaldo Rabelo, CEO of Mercado Bitcoin. “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.”
“FalconX’s institutional infrastructure accelerates our ability to deliver seamless crypto solutions at the speed the market demands,” said Andre Portilho, Head of Digital Assets, BTG Pactual. “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.”
“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,” said Josh Barkhordar, Head of Americas, Sales at FalconX. “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.”
