By Lauren Towner · 28 July 2025

FalconX Latin America Expansion marks a major milestone as the company brings its institutional crypto brokerage services to the region. FalconX provides its full-stack execution platform to support the expansion of digital asset infrastructure in Latin America, collaborating with leading financial players such as Mercado Bitcoin and BTG Pactual.
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."
This move follows FalconX's recent expansions across APAC and EMEA, reinforcing its role as the trusted global infrastructure partner for institutions embracing digital assets.
With the FalconX Latin America Expansion, the business reinforces its position as a reliable crypto broking partner for organisations in this rapidly growing region.
