  • Cantor among banks pitching crypto trading firm FalconX for potential IPO
    March 19, 2026, 4:10 PM EDT. Wall Street firm Cantor is pitching cryptocurrency trading platform FalconX for its potential initial public offering (IPO), sources told Reuters. FalconX has held preliminary talks with possible advisors but has not formally appointed bankers yet. Cantor and FalconX share an existing partnership, with Cantor providing a $100 million credit line backed by bitcoin. The move comes amid challenging market conditions, with bitcoin prices dropping sharply since last October and some crypto firms pausing IPO plans. Despite this, FalconX and others continue exploring listings, hoping 2026 could see broader financial infrastructure firms going public. Cantor's chance to lead the IPO may hinge on this pre-existing relationship with FalconX.
