It said it will remain well-capitalized even if it has to write those assets off as a total loss. FalconX said it does not have exposure to Genesis, Alameda or BlockFi.

"Recent events have validated our approach to risk management. We are market risk neutral and extend credit overcollateralized on our platform. We utilize real-time risk monitoring, and we operate within the confines of our counterparty exposure limits," the blog post said.
