FalconX Unlocks 24/7 Electronic Access to OTC Crypto Options
Today, we’re excited to launch FalconX’s Electronic Options platform - a 24/7 trading platform that combines the speed and scalability of electronic execution with the bespoke nature of OTC crypto options trading.
Historically, crypto options have been limited by both fragmented markets and by limited exchange access. Now, through the Electronic Options platform, institutional investors can execute options strategies 24/7 via UI or API - powered by FalconX’s best-in-class liquidity and market-proven infrastructure.
The Market Was Ready. The Infrastructure Wasn't.
The crypto options market is growing rapidly, fueled by demand for hedging, managed leverage, and volatility trading. Notional options volumes on deribit has surpassed $850 billion YTD, a clear sign of market maturation and rising appetite among hedge funds, venture funds, market makers, and mining firms.
The options market is the next major frontier in institutional crypto. We built this platform to address the longstanding challenges of fragmented liquidity and lack of round-the-clock access. With FalconX Electronic Options, clients get the same execution quality our OTC desk is known for - now in a format designed for scale, distribution, and true 24/7 access.”
— Josh Lim, Global Co-Head of Markets, FalconX
OTC Flexibility Meets Electronic Efficiency
FalconX’s Electronic Options platform bridges the gap between traditional OTC trading and modern electronic execution. Just as RFQ systems transformed FX, rates, and credit markets, FalconX brings that same institutional-grade model to crypto, powering the shift toward efficient, electronic options trading.
What Sets FalconX Electronic Options Apart
- Principal Liquidity
Access differentiated FalconX principal liquidity, designed to deliver meaningful size and price improvement. - Advanced Strategy Builder
Matrix-style strategy builder for multi-leg positions with adjustable ratios per leg, enabling efficient workflows for structuring complex trades. - Expanding Asset Coverage
Options available on BTC, ETH, SOL, and HYPE at launch, with support for additional altcoins coming soon.
Built for the Next Wave of Adoption
For fintechs and retail platforms, electronic options’ turnkey API access and high throughput performance unlock new revenue streams with minimal operational lift.
FalconX’s electronic options platform sets a new bar for institutional access to crypto derivatives. As the first partner to integrate this solution, Talos is proud to offer our clients seamless access to institutional-grade options via API. We continue to see strong demand from institutions for electronic execution, and expanding into bilateral derivatives is a natural evolution of the Talos platform. This launch marks a major step forward in scaling professional crypto markets and expanding access to sophisticated tools across the ecosystem.”
— Anton Katz, CEO of Talos
