The story

Founded in 2024 by FalconX co-founder Prabhakar Reddy as a stablecoin-settled cross-border FX infrastructure company targeting PSPs, remittance firms, and neobrokers. Through 2026 OpenFX moved beyond pure FX into adjacent money-movement surfaces — European embedded payments via the Embed acquisition, and multi-currency fintech accounts via the Global Ledger acquisition — positioning itself as a vertically integrated alternative to correspondent banking rather than just an FX API.
