After raising $50 million at a valuation near $700 million, crypto brokerage and trading startup FalconX is preparing to expand its customer base of deep-pocketed hedge funds. The company’s CEO Raghu Yarlagadda said that the new funds will enable the company to expand its sales and marketing team to attract hedge funds that boast assets in excess of $1 billion.
