Galaxy Digital ($GLXY) is a high-profile bridge between Wall Street and crypto, founded by Michael Novogratz to be the “Goldman Sachs of crypto.” In this episode we trace its rapid rise from a bold public listing to a diversified play across trading and investment banking, asset management and staking, and bitcoin mining — now branching into AI and high-performance data centers. We unpack how that diversification both cushions and complicates the story: it gives Galaxy multiple paths to recurring fee revenue, but also forces it to compete with crypto natives and giant incumbents like BlackRock and Fidelity while navigating accounting scrutiny. The firm’s history has been a rollercoaster driven by crypto’s volatility and regulatory uncertainty, so the central question is: does Galaxy have the staying power and execution chops to turn its early lead into long-term resilience, or is it still a high-risk, high-reward bet?
