“Institutional markets run on trust, transparency, and well-defined rules. As digital assets become increasingly integrated into the global financial system, clients expect the same standards they rely on in traditional markets. MiCA represents an important step forward for the industry, and this authorization strengthens our ability to deliver regulated trading, custody, and liquidity solutions to clients across Europe,” said Maruska Buttigieg Gili, Chief Compliance Officer (Europe) at FalconX.

FalconX serves more than 2,000 institutional clients globally, including many of the world’s leading asset managers, hedge funds, banks, family offices, and digital asset firms. It has facilitated over $2.5 trillion in trading volume and originated more than $8 billion in institutional financing since inception.

The firm’s regulatory footprint includes FalconX Bravo, Inc., the first CFTC-registered swap dealer focused on digital asset derivatives. The authorization also complements FalconX’s recently announced acquisition of 21shares, further strengthening the firm’s ability to support institutional clients and partners across Europe’s digital asset ecosystem. Together, these milestones reflect FalconX’s mission to bridge traditional financial markets and digital assets through institutional-grade infrastructure delivered within regulated market frameworks.
