FalconX partners with Kalshi on institutional client access to event-driven markets
Institutional digital asset prime brokerage FalconX has announced that it is partnering with Kalshi, the world’s largest prediction markets operator, to provide institutional clients with access to event-driven markets through structured derivatives and block trade execution.
Prediction markets have surged in recent months, facilitating the trading of event-based contracts on diverse outcomes ranging from political races and market price movements to important macroeconomic indicators.
By combining its prime brokerage and derivatives capabilities with Kalshi’s regulated exchange, FalconX enables clients to gain exposure to and hedge event-driven risks across crypto, macro, and global elections.
For Kalshi, the addition of FalconX is the latest step in the platform’s path to widespread institutional adoption, which has increased drastically in recent months as investors show strong demand for trading event-based contracts and hedging event-based risks.
Josh Barkhordar, Head of Sales at FalconX said,
“Prediction markets are transforming how risk is priced and traded, turning real-world events into investable opportunities. We see this as a natural evolution of financial markets, where institutional capital, derivatives infrastructure, and new asset classes converge. Our role is to bring the scale, liquidity, and risk management frameworks institutions expect into this emerging category.”
Max Crowley, VP of Business Development at Kalshi added,
“Institutions have always needed ways to hedge specific event risks, and demand for prediction markets is reaching a tipping point. As the asset class matures, broader access through prime brokerages will be key to expanding institutional participation. We’re excited to partner with FalconX to help accelerate that growth.”
This builds on FalconX’s broader strategy of bridging traditional and digital markets, bringing institutional-grade infrastructure to emerging asset classes.
