FTX Seeks Galaxy Digital’s Expertise

FTX, which is now bankrupt, is entering uncharted territory by enlisting Galaxy’s consulting skills. This partnership plans to use hedging techniques for its sizeable holdings of Bitcoin and Ethereum to reduce FTX’s vulnerability to price volatility. The strategic hedging will protect against unfavorable price changes, creating a safer environment for the sale of these assets in the future.

FTX will also be able to “stake” its cryptocurrency holdings, which is the practice of lending digital assets to verify blockchain transactions, as a result of its relationship with Galaxy. This technique not only benefits the blockchain network but also piques people’s interest, potentially opening up new revenue streams.

Galaxy’s broad experience in managing and trading digital assets qualifies it as an appropriate advisor for FTX’s demanding needs. The decision is supported by Galaxy Digital’s financial stake in FTX, which has disclosed stakes in the tens of millions of dollars.
