FalconX, a leading institutional digital-asset prime brokerage, has unveiled a new over-the-counter (OTC) crypto options platform offering 24/7 access to Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and Hyperliquid (HYPE).
The launch of the FalconX Electronic Options platform introduces electronic execution to OTC crypto options, providing institutional investors with enhanced speed, scalability, and liquidity. The platform is designed to meet the growing demand for institutional-grade solutions, enabling clients to build and execute complex crypto strategies around the clock.
Meeting Demand for Crypto Options
Crypto options have traditionally faced hurdles such as market fragmentation and limited exchange access. However, increasing regulatory clarity and market maturity are driving more institutions toward derivatives like options, which offer strategies for hedging, managed leverage, and volatility trading.
According to industry data, crypto options trading volumes on major venues such as Deribit have exceeded $850 billion in 2025, underscoring accelerating demand from market makers, hedge funds, venture firms, and even mining companies.
Expanding Beyond BTC and ETH
While the initial launch supports BTC, ETH, SOL, and HYPE, FalconX confirmed plans to expand the offering to additional altcoins, further broadening institutional exposure to the crypto derivatives market.
With this move, FalconX positions itself at the forefront of the evolving OTC landscape, offering institutions both continuous access and deep liquidity in the fast-growing crypto options market.
