We were built for this moment.
Crypto markets have been anything but quiet - defined by volatility, transformation, and resurgence. From collapses to comebacks, Galaxy Trading was built to help institutions navigate every part of the market cycle, unlocking opportunities, bridging old and new financial systems, and doing it all with confidence.
Today, Galaxy operates one of the largest institutional crypto trading businesses in the world. Our 24/7 sell-side desk spans OTC spot, derivatives, structured products, and financing - offering reliable principal liquidity through a global network of exchanges and market makers. We serve over 1,300 institutional counterparties, including hedge funds, asset managers, corporate treasuries, proprietary trading firms, and HNWI. In 2024 alone, we traded over $20 billion in OTC derivatives and maintained an average quarterly loan book of over $800 million.
We know this space is evolving fast and not everyone knows how to navigate it. That's why we don't just offer access-we provide the support institutions need to navigate this new frontier of finance with confidence.
Confidence starts with trust. We are regulated, audited, and SOC compliant, operating with a risk-first mindset. We operate under the oversight of the CFTC, FCA, FinCEN, NFA, and others. Our financials are audited by KPMG, and we adhere to a rigorous counterparty risk framework engineered to protect clients and elevate industry standards.
Institutions don't just need liquidity. They need strategy, flexibility, and a sophisticated partner who understands how to operate at their level. Whether it's managing complex hedging programs, lending capital, or navigating volatility, we help our counterparties move with clarity and confidence.
"Our edge isn't just liquidity or access-it's our people and our conviction," said Jason Urban, Galaxy's Global Head of Trading. "We've built a team that lives markets 24/7 and knows how to operate across cycles."
Institutional interest is accelerating. Some players are already active. Others are stepping in for the first time, starting with bitcoin, then exploring ether, and beyond. Across the board, the tone has changed. It's no longer if or when-it is now.
We believe the next era of growth will be defined by clarity, not chaos. Institutions want structure, oversight, and strong partners. Potential regulatory clarity could further legitimize and stabilize digital asset markets. At the same time, technological shifts are increasing scalability and energy efficiency, making digital assets even more attractive.
There's real innovation happening, but opportunity depends on access. That's why we built Galaxy Trading: to help institutions bridge the gap, adapt to the shift, and lead with confidence.
Ready to Trade with Confidence?
In a space defined by volatility, we offer what matters most: stability, insight, and conviction. We're here to unlock what's possible and walk alongside you through this new era of finance.
