Prabhakar Reddy
Founder & CEO at OpenFX
Building the 'AWS of global finance' through OpenFX to solve cross-border settlement in broken corridors.
Intro
I'm Prabhakar Reddy, the Founder and CEO of OpenFX. My career has been defined by building infrastructure that solves systemic inefficiencies, from scaling video platforms to co-founding FalconX, an institutional digital asset brokerage now valued at $8B. Currently, I'm focused on OpenFX, where we are building the 'AWS of global finance' to enable real-time, compliant cross-border money movement. I'm passionate about moving stablecoins beyond speculation and into real-world utility like B2B settlement and payroll. I've seen firsthand how fixing 'broken corridors' in finance can have a massive human impact, especially in emerging markets. I'm always looking to connect with fintech leaders, treasury professionals, and high-caliber talent who want to rebuild the world's financial plumbing. Whether you're looking for institutional-grade settlement solutions or want to discuss the future of tokenized deposits, I'm happy to share what I've learned from scaling multiple companies to global reach.

Opinions
- If a customer knows they are using a blockchain, the product has failed.
- The global money movement system is intentionally broken to protect legacy margins.
- Boring layers like compliance and licensing are more important than the underlying tech.
- Liquidity is the foundation, not the finish line.
