FalconX announced it acquired Arbelos Markets on Jan. 2-3, 2025, citing Arbelos’s crypto derivatives trading focus and its expansion across exchanges and bilateral markets. The deal suggests rapid traction for a company founded in 2023 that grew into a strategic asset within two years.
FalconX said Arbelos was led by industry veterans Joshua Lim, Shiliang Tang, and Sergio Almada Monter. Preqin also identifies Joshua Lim as CEO and Shiliang Tang as co-founder, underscoring founder-led execution in a specialist market.
Arbelos specialized in providing principal liquidity for crypto derivatives markets, while FalconX said the acquisition expands its global derivatives footprint. That positioning points to demand for liquidity infrastructure across a market large enough to attract a prime broker acquisition.
