M&A

The deal is set to close in H1 2026, subject to regulatory approval, and will see Marex onboarding 700 institutional clients onto its platform. 

21shares currently offers the world’s largest suite of crypto ETFs and ETPs, and the move is set to help build out FalconX’s listed markets and digital assets offering.  

The exchange is set to launch a voluntary exchange offer, running until 17 November, with the proposal already receiving unanimous support from ATHEX’s board of directors. 

The deal is set to support the digital prime broker in expanding from its current OTC, conversion and technology business towards a wider digital asset and wealth management business. 

UBS has previously stated its objective to address Credit Suisse’s outstanding matters “swiftly, fairly, and in a balanced manner, in the best interest of all stakeholders”.

Through the move, RJO’s clients will gain access to StoneX markets, products and services offerings, and expands StoneX’s client float by almost $6 billion. 

Deal includes TA.Link messaging tool and suite of automation-focused trading apps.

The move is set to support Marex’s expansion of its UK cash equities business, and is expected to close in early 2026, subject to regulatory approval.  

The move extends the exchange’s geographical and regulatory presence in the EU and follows growing traction for digital assets and crypto exchange-traded products in the UK market in recent months.  

The move is expected to strengthen Man Group’s current credit platform and help grow the firm’s footprint in North America.
