Brazilian derivatives and futures exchange platform
About A5X
A5X is a Brazilian exchange and clearing house focused on the derivatives and futures market, aiming to launch operations in the first half of 2026. The company was founded in 2023 in São Paulo, Brazil, by former XP executives Carlos Ferreira Filho and Karel Luketic, along with Nilson Monteiro, president of Ideal brokerage, and Julian Chediak, a partner at Chediak Advogados. A5X was established to introduce competition and innovation to the Brazilian financial market, which the founders believe has unmet demand, particularly in segments like foreign exchange options.
