Galaxy Digital Q3 net income reached $323 million, adjusted EBITDA reached $455 million
Galaxy Digital released its Q3 2026 financial results, reporting a net profit of $323 million, marking a turnaround from an $85 million loss in the previous quarter. Adjusted EBITDA reached $455 million, while total assets grew sequentially by 51% to $16.4 billion. Cash, stablecoins, and U.S. Treasuries totaled $4.9 billion, nearly doubling quarter-over-quarter. In its digital asset business, trading volume increased sequentially by 12%, outperforming the broader spot market. The combined scale of asset management and staking grew sequentially by 46% to $10.4 billion, alongside a multi-year partnership with BNY Mellon to provide staking support for its digital asset custody platform. The data center business saw adjusted EBITDA rise nearly fivefold sequentially to $69 million, primarily driven by the first full operating quarter following the delivery of 133 MW of compute capacity for Phase I of Helios to CoreWeave. Phase II has broken ground with fully funded financing. The company completed a $3.5 billion issuance of senior secured bonds for this purpose, and its overall power pipeline has expanded to over 5.7 GW, with server room deliveries expected to begin in Q2 2027. Regarding capital operations, the $200 million share repurchase program launched in February was completed on October 15, with approximately 9.8 million shares cumulatively repurchased. On October 26, the Board of Directors approved a new $200 million repurchase authorization.

Galaxy: Q2 crypto VC funding volume grew 31% quarter-over-quarter, dominated by late-stage projects.
Galaxy Research reports that in Q2 2026, 384 venture capital transactions were completed in the cryptocurrency and blockchain sector, raising approximately $5.68 billion. This represents sequential growth of 10% and 31%, respectively, with the increase primarily driven by later-stage funding. Exchanges, investment firms, and lending entities secured around $3.523 billion, accounting for roughly 60% of the quarter's total investment; U.S.-based companies captured 73.5% of the investment funds.
SEC Proposes Reg Crypto, Establishing Legal Pathways for Certain Token Public Offerings and Investment Contract Exits
: Galaxy's Head of Research posted on X, stating that on August 18, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission proposed the "Regulation Crypto Assets," abbreviated as Reg Crypto. The proposal aims to establish a legal pathway for certain tokens to be offered to the U.S. public and to set up a mechanism for terminating investment contracts. Its applicability is limited to crypto assets that are not themselves securities but were previously issued or sold as part of an investment contract; tokenized stocks, bonds, and arrangements bundling tokens with equity or other securities are not covered by the framework.The proposal sets out four stages: offering, disclosure, build-out, and exit. A one-time startup exemption allows issuers to raise up to $5 million over a maximum of four years; a higher-threshold exemption modeled on Regulation A permits raising $20 million or $75 million within 12 months. Such offerings must pass SEC qualification review and involve ongoing disclosure, with non-accredited investors capped at 10% of the higher of their annual income or net worth. Issuers are also required to disclose token supply and unlock schedules, minting and burning mechanisms, governance and smart contract permissions, source code, as well as project construction commitments and progress.Once an issuer completes or permanently ceases the relevant build-out obligations, makes no new construction commitments, and submits a transition report, the related investment contract will be deemed terminated, and the crypto asset will no longer be subject to securities laws under that investment contract. Issuers that did not use the above offering exemptions may also use this safe harbor. The SEC estimates that approximately 475 issuers per year would use the investment contract safe harbor, and about 130 issuers would use the two new exemptions. Offerings that qualify would not be considered restricted securities and could be resold immediately without contractual restrictions.The proposal also excludes covered initial offerings and certain secondary transactions from state registration and qualification requirements, but it does not address exchanges, brokers, dealers, or custody, nor is it a standalone innovative exemption for tokenized securities and on-chain transactions. The comment period is 60 days after publication in the Federal Register. SEC Chairman Paul Atkins and Commissioners Hester Peirce and Mark Uyeda all issued statements of support. The article was written by Alex Thorn.
Unitree Robotics launched its IPO subscription on the STAR Market today, with the market estimating a lottery win rate of 0.02%–0.03%
Odaily News: Unitree Robotics officially opened IPO subscription on the STAR Market today. According to the announcement, Unitree Robotics' offering price is set at 150.80 yuan per share, with a market capitalization of approximately 60.993 billion yuan at the time of listing, and an expected total fundraising amount of 6.099 billion yuan. The online subscription code for this offering is 787836, with an expected online issuance of 6.471 million shares. The market estimates the lottery win rate at 0.02%–0.03%. It should be noted that after the subscription period concludes, the lottery results will be announced on August 12, and successful investors must complete payment on the same day. If an investor wins the lottery three times within 12 months but fails to make full payment, they will be restricted from participating in new stock and bond subscriptions for six months.Yang Chao, chief strategy analyst at China Galaxy Securities, noted that the capital threshold for participating in this IPO subscription is relatively high, and the lottery win rate is low. Share prices are likely to experience significant volatility in the early stages of the STAR Market listing. Investors should fully assess the risks associated with the high valuation and ensure timely and full payment if selected, avoiding missed payments that could trigger subscription restrictions.

Covering 82 million Galaxy devices, Samsung will support USDC cross-border transfers in Samsung Wallet in the last week of October
Odaily reports: A Solana Foundation official stated that the U.S. GENIUS Act provides regulatory momentum for enterprises and financial institutions to enter the stablecoin space, and is also one of the important background factors behind Samsung's launch of stablecoin payment services. Samsung has announced that starting in the last week of October, it will support USDC cross-border transfers in Samsung Wallet, initially targeting eligible Galaxy users in the United States and covering approximately 82 million devices. Users can transfer USD stablecoins to compatible crypto wallets within seconds with no transfer fees, and can also send remittances to eligible bank accounts in more than 60 countries and regions. The service will use the Solana and Sui networks as its underlying infrastructure, with licensed stablecoin custodian Bastion providing transfer services and Coinbase Prime serving as sub-custodian responsible for safeguarding USDC assets.
Galaxy Research: CFTC Guidance on Mention Markets Highlights New Contract Regulatory Challenges
Galaxy Research stated that the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) this week issued guidance on "Mention Markets," which involve prediction markets tied to individual statements, event attendance, and interactions. The agency noted that unlike traditional event contracts such as whether the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates, where individuals cannot easily control the outcome, mention markets settle on the autonomous behavior of specific individuals—for example, "whether Musk will mention Bitcoin on the next SpaceX earnings call"—and therefore carry higher manipulation risk. The CFTC's Division of Market Oversight (DMO) believes that such markets should be presumed to be "susceptible to manipulation" and requires exchanges to assess them across four dimensions: independent constraints controlling the individual, external pressure risks, independent verification and public scrutiny, and trading rules and surveillance measures.Galaxy Research noted that the guidance does not constitute binding rules and does not prohibit exchanges from listing mention markets. However, even when the above criteria are met, it remains difficult to fully address the manipulation risk arising from individuals voluntarily triggering market outcomes without economic incentive, and the First Amendment also limits regulators' ability to impose prior restraints on individual speech.
Galaxy Digital Founder: If the CLARITY Act Fails to Advance, U.S. Crypto Regulation May Stagnate Long-Term
TechFlow: Galaxy Digital founder Mike Novogratz stated that if the CLARITY Act fails to advance tomorrow, the United States may struggle to establish a crypto regulatory framework for an extended period. This would be detrimental to the U.S. and could force more crypto industry companies to relocate overseas. He believes the digital asset and blockchain revolution will continue, but long-term regulatory uncertainty hinders industry development, and he called on U.S. senators from both parties to consider the bigger picture.
CLARITY Act passage before midterm elections highly unlikely; House Republican leadership cancels September 21 and 28 votes
Odaily News Galaxy Research Head stated on X platform that House Republican leadership has canceled the voting schedule for the weeks of September 21 and September 28. The House will reconvene on September 14 for a four-day agenda, then leave Washington and will not reconvene until after the midterm elections. This arrangement makes it highly unlikely that the CLARITY Act will pass before the midterm elections.

SOL perpetual contract trading share drops to 6%, Solana seeks transformation to shed Meme coin dependence and compete for Wall Street market
A Galaxy Research report shows that Meme coins' share of Solana trading volume has fallen from over 50% at the end of 2024 to 15%–20% in Q2 2026. In addition, SOL has declined nearly 20% year-to-date, and U.S.-listed spot and staked SOL ETFs recorded outflows for two consecutive weeks this month, totaling approximately $50 million. Meanwhile, Solana's share of on-chain perpetual contract trading volume has dropped from 17% to 6%. The Solana Foundation has reportedly issued a statement saying that Solana's transformation is underway, attempting to shift from a growth model reliant on Meme coins and speculative trading toward more mainstream financial applications such as stablecoins and tokenized assets, in a bid to win adoption from Wall Street institutions.However, with the crypto market downturn and the rise of competitors such as Hyperliquid, Solana faces challenges in transforming its growth model. Market analysts point out that the key to Solana's future lies in whether it can attract stable assets, developers, and users, rather than relying solely on speculative trading to drive growth.

Arthur Hayes received $49.24 million USDC after recent token sales; Galaxy Digital transferred in $23.07 million
According to Onchain Lens monitoring, Arthur Hayes (0x6cd...7e21) received $49.24 million USDC after recent token sales, of which Galaxy Digital recently transferred $23.07 million to him, bringing the total USDC he received from trading desks and exchanges to $49.24 million.
Galaxy Research: Bitcoin Network Sees Random Garbled Inscriptions for Three Consecutive Weeks, Suspected to Be Testing of a Data Publishing Tool
Galaxy Research has published an analysis stating that over the past three weeks, approximately 40 inscriptions composed of random letters have appeared on the Bitcoin network each day, with content that appears to be encrypted text but is not actually cryptographic information. The relevant addresses had previously inscribed the U.S. Constitution onto the Bitcoin network in May. The study found that after analyzing 562 texts, the frequency distribution of the 26 English letters was nearly uniform, clearly differing from normal English and substitution cipher characteristics; metrics such as word length distribution and repeated word frequency also indicated that these texts were likely generated by a random letter generator.Galaxy Research refers to the operator as "Babel Scribe," believing that the activity is more likely testing a data publishing tool on the Bitcoin mainnet rather than attempting to convey hidden messages. The on-chain transaction structure, the continuous use of change addresses, and the regular timing of publications all display characteristics of automated scripts. Related activities also include test texts, random words in different languages, binary data, and the subsequent inscription of the U.S. Declaration of Independence. It is estimated that the project has transferred in approximately 3.33 million satoshis in total, of which about 24% was used to pay miner fees, with the remaining funds still held in the relevant addresses. The researchers suggest that there is no need to interpret these garbled texts as hidden messages.
Moved $19 million worth of ETH: a wallet associated with Arthur Hayes transferred 1,600 ETH each to three institutions
that, according to Onchain Lens monitoring, a wallet associated with Arthur Hayes (0x6cd...7e21) transferred 8,000 ETH, worth approximately $19 million, including 1,600 ETH each to Binance, Galaxy Digital, and FalconX, each worth about $3.8 million, intended for sale.
Analyst: PAPER Mining Rewards Plummet Nearly 90%, Token May Face Sell-Off Once Transferable
Odaily reports: Crypto analyst Ignas posted on X that PAPER token mining rewards have dropped significantly. Early users could earn 100 PAPER for every $1 of qualifying trading losses, but this has now fallen to approximately 11 PAPER. At current reward levels, a trade with a $1,000 loss would yield only about 10,700 PAPER. Based on recent staking yield levels, this translates to daily earnings of roughly $2.60 to $4.90, requiring approximately 200 to 385 days to recoup the loss—and this does not yet account for dilution effects from token emissions.In his view, once PAPER opens up for transfer, some trading users may prefer to sell tokens directly to recover losses, creating potential selling pressure. Galaxy Research previously noted that PAPER's market price will affect the scale of mining activity, which in turn determines the protocol's long-term revenue. If a decline in token price leads to reduced mining activity, it could further weaken protocol revenue and staking yields. PAPER's long-term value depends on whether Papertrade can continue to attract genuine trading demand and sustain revenue after incentives decline.
About $72.9 million is still in attacker-controlled addresses, Ledger CryptoBillis stolen funds distribution disclosed
According to monitoring by Galaxy's head of research, in the Ledger CryptoBillis attack incident, approximately $72.9 million remains in addresses controlled by the attacker, involving Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDT; $3.1 million entered Tornado Cash, while the remaining funds have been bridged across chains, swapped, or layered and transferred through relayers.
92% of stolen Bitcoin was held for less than 90 days at consolidation; Ledger CryptoBillis supply chain attack loses 213.42 BTC
According to Odaily, citing Galaxy's head of research, the losses from the Ledger CryptoBillis supply chain attack currently amount to 213.42 BTC, approximately $17.7 million. Of this, 92% of the funds were held for less than 90 days at the time of consolidation, while some funds were held for longer periods. All traced Bitcoin remains unspent and is stored in 3 consolidation addresses.
Losses Reach 213.42 BTC in the $17.7 Million Ledger Cryptocurrency Supply Chain Attack
Odaily News: According to monitoring by Galaxy's head of research, the Bitcoin losses caused by the Ledger cryptocurrency supply chain attack currently amount to 213.42 BTC, valued at $17.7 million. Of this, 92% of the funds were transferred in less than 90 days ago, while some funds were transferred even earlier. All Bitcoin traced so far remains unspent and is held in 3 aggregation addresses.
Galaxy Research: Some BTC Transferred by US Government to Coinbase Prime Came from Unlabeled Addresses, LuBian and Bitfinex Assets Account for 71% of Holdings
Odaily News: Galaxy Research on-chain tracking shows that the US government transferred approximately 9,261 BTC, worth about $770 million, to Coinbase Prime over two days. Since the deposit address was first activated in December 2025, it has cumulatively received 11,567 BTC, of which 6,406 came from wallets already labeled as belonging to the US government, and 5,160 came from previously unlabeled wallets.Of the 9,261 BTC transferred this time, nearly half can be traced back to Bitfinex hacker funds recovered by the US government, with some coming from previously known Binance-related seized assets; among them, 2,456 BTC previously had no clear government attribution label, but because they entered this address through the same path as government funds, they are currently regarded as US government seized assets. The US government currently holds approximately 319,100 BTC, of which about 71% comes from LuBian-related BTC and Bitfinex recovered funds.In January 2025, a US federal court approved the return in kind of seized Bitfinex hacker funds to Bitfinex, and the main address holding approximately 94,600 BTC has still not moved. In October 2025, the US Department of Justice filed a civil forfeiture lawsuit against Chen Zhi and related assets, involving approximately 127,300 BTC; this batch of LuBian BTC entered addresses attributed to the US government between June and July 2024. Since 2013, US government-related addresses have received a total of approximately 555,300 BTC, worth about $16.1 billion at prices at the time; during the same period, approximately 236,200 BTC flowed out, worth about $3.8 billion at prices at the time. After excluding internal transfers between the government's own addresses, this transfer, based on labeled government addresses, ranks 9th among the largest single-day BTC outflows in US government history, and is also the largest since December 2, 2024. BTC being transferred to Coinbase Prime does not mean the US government has already sold it, and on-chain transfers alone cannot confirm the specific purpose of the funds.
1830 BTC Stolen: COLDCARD Seed Entropy Theft Affects 256 Victims
according to Galaxy's head of research, the COLDCARD Seed Entropy theft incident has resulted in 1,830 BTC being stolen, involving 3 rounds of attacks and more than 30 smaller related indicators. A total of 256 victims have reported their situations to GLXY Research, with a median loss of 1.1 BTC, and efforts to track the attackers are still ongoing.
Coldcard white hat hacker moves 52.37 BTC to Crypto Recovery Trust
according to Bitcoin News monitoring, this batch of Bitcoin is worth over $4 million, accounting for approximately 2.8% of the total Bitcoin related to the Coldcard vulnerability.

Galaxy Research: Bitcoin Bear Market Ended in June, Recommends Buy-and-Hold Strategy
According to The Block, Galaxy Research stated in a report released on October 26 that the Bitcoin bear market ended in June and that the current moment presents an attractive opportunity to buy and hold. The report notes that as of October 18, Bitcoin had closed above its 50-week moving average for five consecutive weeks, breaking a prior streak of 44 consecutive weeks below the level. Meanwhile, the monthly average volume transacted from long-term holding wallets dropped from 67,000 BTC in 2024 to 34,000 BTC in 2026. Galaxy’s head of research, Alex Thorn, cautioned that this bullish thesis would face challenges if Bitcoin records a weekly close below the $76,540 50-week moving average and fails to reclaim it within a month.
