Galaxy Digital's Q3 Earnings Surge Amid Crypto Market Growth

According to Cointelegraph, Galaxy Digital has reported robust third-quarter earnings, primarily driven by increased trading activity and expansion in asset management, highlighting sustained institutional interest in crypto-focused financial services. The company achieved a net income of $505 million for the quarter ending September 30, with adjusted earnings reaching $629 million. This performance was bolstered by record results in its digital asset operations and investment gains. Galaxy concluded the quarter with $3.2 billion in equity, including $1.9 billion in cash and stablecoins. Galaxy Digital experienced a 140% increase in trading volumes from the previous quarter, spurred by heightened spot and derivatives volumes. A significant transaction during the quarter involved the sale of over 80,000 Bitcoin (BTC), marking one of the largest crypto trades to date. Although the client's identity was not disclosed, the sale was part of a broader estate planning strategy. Beyond its core trading business, Galaxy is venturing into data center and high-performance computing infrastructure, with its Helios campus in Texas playing a pivotal role. However, meaningful profits from this initiative are not anticipated until mid-2026. In August, Galaxy secured a $1.4 billion loan to expand the Helios site and anticipates generating approximately $1 billion in annual revenue through a long-term partnership with CoreWeave, a U.S.-based cloud computing company specializing in GPU infrastructure for artificial intelligence workloads. Following the earnings announcement, Galaxy Digital shares surged, climbing nearly 16% at one point before settling higher midday. The stock last traded above $43, marking a 9% increase on the day. Galaxy Digital has gained over 84% this year. Despite Bitcoin's largely rangebound performance during the third quarter, Ether (ETH) reached multi-year highs, and several other digital assets demonstrated renewed momentum. CoinGecko's Q3 2025 report indicates that the global crypto market expanded for a third consecutive quarter, adding approximately $563 billion in value to reach $4 trillion, its highest level since 2021. Galaxy's results mirrored this broader trend, underscoring continued strength across the digital-asset industry. Strategically, Galaxy remained active, embracing the growing digital-asset treasury trend. During the quarter, the company announced plans to participate in a $1.65 billion Solana treasury initiative alongside Cantor Fitzgerald, Multicoin Capital, and Jump Crypto. As reported by Cointelegraph, the bull market was also evident in exchange-traded products, with BlackRock noting that its Bitcoin and Ether iShares funds positively contributed to quarterly earnings, driven by strong investor inflows and fee income.
