Cryptocurrency-focused financial services firm Galaxy Digital (GLXY) said it expects its quarter-to-date loss through Wednesday to be about $300 million.

  • The Mike Novogratz-led firm posted the update Friday, "in light of recent market conditions."
  • Galaxy specified that its treasury does not utilize algorithmic stablecoins. The collapse in value of algorithmic stablecoin terraUSD (UST) and its sister token LUNA has been at the center of the sharp downturn in the crypto asset market in recent days.
  • The company has a liquidity position of around $1.6 billion, split 50/50 between cash and net digital assets, "with the majority of net digital assets in non-algorithmic stablecoins."
  • "Net comprehensive income is expected to be a loss of approximately $300 million, bringing partners' capital to $2.2 billion, a decline of 12% versus March 31, 2022," Galaxy announced.
  • Galaxy published its first quarter earnings at the start of this week, reporting a $111.7 million loss compared to a gain of $858.2 million for the corresponding quarter a year ago.
  • Toronto-listed GLXY shares closed Thursday at $7.72, down 43% against their value prior to the first quarter earnings report.

KuCoin Hits Record Market Share as 2025 Volumes Outpace Crypto Market

16:9 Image

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.

What to know:

  • KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
  • This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
  • Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
  • Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
  • Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
