FalconX Expands Prime Connect with Ceffu for Secure Off-Exchange Settlement
As institutional demand for secure and capital-efficient trading continues to grow, FalconX is expanding Prime Connect—our dedicated and secure off-exchange settlement infrastructure for Direct Market Access (DMA)—with support for Ceffu. Clients can now access Binance liquidity while keeping funds safeguarded in custody through Ceffu’s MirrorX solution.
This unlocks a critical aspect of the DMA landscape: clients can now benefit from exchange liquidity without taking on counterparty risk. Funds remain fully segregated with a trusted custodian while clients trade using 1:1 mirrored credit on exchange, enabling secure trading without compromise.
The New Standard for Institutional Access
With this expansion, FalconX DMA continues to set a new standard for institutional access by combining seamless exchange access, up to 5x leverage, integrated off-exchange settlement, and cross-exchange margining. Clients can scale their trading strategies and manage risk holistically across venues without sacrificing security or capital efficiency.
In light of the recent events where customer funds were at risk, institutional investors are reevaluating how they safeguard and manage capital while staying agile. Prime Connect provides exactly this by empowering clients to reduce exposure and operational risk while retaining control.
“Security and execution quality are both critical to our trading strategy,” said Jonggu Lee, Chief Investment Officer at Hyperithm. “FalconX’s Prime Connect has been a game changer for our team. Extending this capability through Ceffu is a meaningful step toward safer, more scalable access to global markets.”
Off-Platform Lending: Extending Capital Efficiency
FalconX now enables clients to access up to 5x leverage while trading from their own exchange accounts. This capability is supported through our partnership with Ceffu, whose institutional custody infrastructure securely facilitates over 10,000 delegated transactions to Binance each month, enabling institutional clients to trade with off-exchange asset protection while maintaining full control of their assets. Unlike our standard DMA loan setup, where assets are mirrored into a FalconX-owned subaccount, this off-platform lending model holds loaned assets in FalconX’s Ceffu wallets and mirrors them directly into the client’s own account, offering greater flexibility and control without compromising security or capital efficiency.
Looking Ahead
Ceffu is the first of several Prime Connect partners we plan to introduce, each expanding secure, capital-efficient access to the world’s leading venues. This momentum aligns with our vision to deliver the most comprehensive DMA platform with the broadest off-exchange settlement coverage. Stay tuned as we continue to push the boundaries of secure and efficient institutional trading.
