Salary benchmarks
Our take
Galaxy Digital Holdings was founded to bring institutions into the blockchain revolution, envisioning a society where values and ownership flow as freely as information. Galaxy has captured the massive growth in the space over the past few years, offering its clients a range of financial solutions spanning the digital assets ecosystem, operating five synergistic business lines: Trading, Asset Management, Principal Investments, Investment Banking, and Mining.
The company exists within a highly volatile industry but has emerged stronger following the recent crypto reset. While reports claim the company is planning to cut one-fifth of its workforce, Galaxy itself has stated that it is currently focused on considering optimal team structure and strategy.
Recently, Galaxy announced that it has entered into an agreement with Canaccord Genuity Corp. for a bought deal offering, raising gross proceeds of approximately US$100 million. This move is aimed at bolstering the company’s financial position, with proceeds intended for working capital and general corporate purposes.
