Galaxy Digital FTX Exposure News Update: Mike Novogratz Firm Galaxy Digital revealed it has exposure to FTX, the firm announced in its third quarter financial results.

Galaxy Digital Assets In FTX
In its quarterly results report, Galaxy Digital said it holds cash and digital assets in FTX. However, it said a bulk of it is in the withdrawal process. The company incurred a net comprehensive loss of $68.1 million during the quarter partly due to increased operating expense for its mining business. The losses were due to impairments in mining assets, driven by dislocations in the mining space, the company said.
“As of the date of this filing, the partnership has an exposure of approximately $76.8 million of cash and digital assets to FTX, of which $47.5 million is currently in the withdrawal process.”
