Published at 2026-01-22 13:00:08

Galaxy Digital has closed a $100 million raise to seed a new crypto hedge fund set to debut in Q1 2026. The fund will target both cryptocurrencies and financial services that are being reshaped by blockchain technology, positioning the firm to deploy capital across tokens, infrastructure plays and tokenized finance opportunities.

The raise signals persistent institutional appetite for dedicated digital-asset vehicles and could increase liquidity and strategic capital flow into blockchain-native sectors. With a launch scheduled for early 2026, the fund may accelerate investment into emerging projects and provide a larger, more organized pathway for institutional exposure to crypto markets.
