Aime SummaryFalconX has launched its 24/7 Electronic Options platform, a development poised to reshape institutional participation in crypto derivatives markets. The platform, designed to merge the flexibility of over-the-counter (OTC) trading with the scalability of electronic execution, enables institutional investors to trade options on
(BTC), (ETH), (SOL), and Hyperliquid (HYPE) around the clock via user interface or API integration. This initiative addresses longstanding challenges in the crypto options market, including fragmented liquidity and limited access, by leveraging FalconX’s principal liquidity and enterprise-grade infrastructure. Josh Lim, Global Co-Head of Markets at FalconX, emphasized that the platform extends the firm’s OTC execution quality to a scalable format, supporting projected 2x year-over-year growth in derivatives trading volumes[1].The market context for this launch is marked by surging demand for crypto options. Notional trading volumes on Deribit have exceeded $850 billion year-to-date 2025, driven by hedge funds, market makers, and fintech platforms seeking hedging, volatility trading, and ETF-related strategies[2]. FalconX’s platform introduces features tailored to institutional needs, including a matrix-style strategy builder for multi-leg positions and proprietary liquidity to enhance pricing efficiency. The firm, which executed over $50 billion in OTC derivatives in 2024, positions itself as a leader in institutional crypto derivatives, operating one of the largest options desks globally and maintaining top dealer status on platforms like Deribit and Paradigm[3].
The platform’s integration with Talos, a crypto trading technology provider, highlights its institutional-grade appeal. Talos CEO Anton Katz noted that FalconX’s solution sets a new standard for access to sophisticated derivatives, enabling seamless API connectivity for clients[4]. This aligns with broader industry trends, including CME Group’s recent plans to expand options on Solana and
futures and Coinbase’s acquisition of Deribit, which has solidified its dominance in crypto derivatives by open interest and volume[5]. Regulatory developments, such as the SEC’s approval of spot Bitcoin ETF options, further underscore the maturation of the sector[6].FalconX’s 24/7 access model is a strategic response to the global, non-stop nature of crypto markets. The platform’s high-throughput performance and API accessibility are designed to reduce operational overhead for fintech and retail platforms, facilitating faster market entry and revenue generation[7]. With plans to expand asset coverage beyond BTC, ETH,
, and HYPE, FalconX aims to meet growing institutional demand for diversified derivatives exposure. This expansion reflects the market’s shift toward treating crypto options as a mainstream financial instrument, akin to traditional derivatives, and signals FalconX’s ambition to lead in the next phase of institutional crypto adoption[8].
