After a process that took years (1,300 or so days, Galaxy CEO Mike Novogratz noted on a Tuesday earnings call), GLXY shares are trading on the Nasdaq. 

The US listing boosts the stock’s visibility — i.e. via Robinhood and perhaps, one day, in indexes (S&P, MSCI, Russell, etc.)

More than that, though, we’re watching how it helps the firm scale as competition stiffens in the growing crypto space. 

“Most of Galaxy’s growth over the last seven years was internally funded with investing profits or trading profits, and so there was a regulator on how fast we could grow,”…

Galaxy Digital GLXY CEO Mike Novogratz praised the Trump administration’s approach to crypto policy, contrasting it sharply with the Biden era, which he described as “misery, misery.”

What Happened: Speaking with CNBC on Friday, Novogratz said the current administration has been highly favorable to the cryptocurrency industry.

“The four years under Biden were really un-American when it came to crypto. It was just misery, misery,” Novogratz said.

In contrast, he noted that “this administration has been amazing for the space in general,” emphasizing that Republican support for crypto has played a key role in shaping the current policy environment.

Novogratz said the company pivoted into…

A Solidity developer friend of mine reached out on Signal the other day in a tizzy. “I can’t believe this,” he wrote. “How did Ethereum developers let this happen?”

He was referring to a recent article worrying about Ethereum’s Pectra upgrade — specifically EIP-7702 — and its supposed ability to let hackers “drain wallets with just an offchain signature.” The piece has been bandied about on X/Twitter, it seems, though not by people I follow. Fears were clearly being stoked in some circles that a new transaction type quietly enabled attackers to seize control of wallets…

The cryptocurrency industry’s increasingly close alignment with president Donald Trump and the Republican Party has put its future at the mercy of American electoral cycles, raising concerns about political overreach, regulatory uncertainty and reputational damage.

What Happened: Once hailed as a decentralized alternative to entrenched financial institutions, crypto now finds itself entangled in the very power structures it once sought to disrupt, according to an article by The Economist.

Over the past six months, the industry has entrenched itself in U.S. political life, with top crypto firms among the largest political donors and Trump-aligned officials and family members holding major…

Bitcoin Pizza season is back.

This Sunday will mark 15 years since early adopter Laszlo Hanyecz first posted his historic, cheesy request to Bitcointalk: Pizza for bitcoins?

Hanyecz boldly offered to pay 10,000 BTC to anyone who could deliver two large pizzas — two, “so I have some left over for the next day. I like having leftover pizza to nibble on later.” 

Those coins were worth about $42 at the time and more than $2 billion today, enough to make your stomach grumble! 

In many ways it was the most important transaction in Bitcoin’s history, even to this day. As Laszlo…
