FalconX’s CEO Raghu Yarlagadda said institutional confidence will strengthen with a more healthy, transparent crypto derivatives market in place.
Digital asset brokerage FalconX has acquired crypto derivatives platform Arbelos Markets for an undisclosed amount, marking one of the first major crypto acquisition deals of 2025.
The development was confirmed by FalconX’s co-founder and CEO Raghu Yarlagadda in a Jan. 2 X post following a report from Bloomberg about an hour earlier.
While details of the deal weren’t shared, an earlier Dec. 31 report from Bloomberg said the deal was expected to be financed through a combination of FalconX stock and cash, citing people familiar with the matter.
