As institutional demand for secure and capital-efficient trading continues to grow, FalconX is expanding Prime Connect—their dedicated and secure off-exchange settlement infrastructure for Direct Market Access (DMA)—with support for Ceffu.
Clients can now access Binance liquidity while “keeping funds safeguarded in custody through Ceffu’s MirrorX solution.”
This unlocks a critical aspect of the DMA landscape: clients can “now benefit from exchange liquidity without taking on counterparty risk.”
Funds remain fully segregated with a custodian while clients “trade using 1:1 mirrored credit on exchange, enabling secure trading without compromise.”
With this expansion, FalconX DMA continues to “set a standard for institutional access by combining exchange access, up to 5x leverage, integrated off-exchange settlement, and cross-exchange margining.”
Clients can scale their trading strategies and “manage risk holistically across venues without sacrificing security or capital efficiency.”
In light of the recent events where customer funds were at risk, institutional investors are “reevaluating how they safeguard and manage capital while staying agile.”
Prime Connect provides exactly this “by empowering clients to reduce exposure and operational risk while retaining control.”
Jonggu Lee, Chief Investment Officer at Hyperithm said:
“Security and execution quality are both critical to our trading strategy. FalconX’s Prime Connect has been a game changer for our team. Extending this capability through Ceffu is a meaningful step toward safer, more scalable access to global markets.”
FalconX now enables clients to access “up to 5x leverage while trading from their own exchange accounts.”
This capability is supported through their partnership with Ceffu, whose institutional custody infrastructure facilitates over 10,000 delegated transactions to Binance each month, “enabling institutional clients to trade with off-exchange asset protection while maintaining full control of their assets.”
Unlike their standard DMA loan setup, where assets are mirrored into a FalconX-owned subaccount, this off-platform lending model “holds loaned assets in FalconX’s Ceffu wallets and mirrors them directly into the client’s own account, offering greater flexibility and control without compromising security or capital efficiency.”
Ceffu is the first of several Prime Connect partners they “plan to introduce, each expanding secure, capital-efficient access to the world’s leading venues.”
This momentum aligns with their vision to deliver “comprehensive DMA platform with the broadest off-exchange settlement coverage.”
