Watch for
- Self-measured claims on trading metrics
- Verification of license tier limits
Founded in 2018, Galaxy Digital Inc. is a publicly listed institutional liquidity provider based in New York City. The firm operates under multiple licenses, including SEC and FCA, and claims to have over 1,700 trading counterparties. However, its self-measured metrics and relatively recent establishment may warrant further scrutiny.
Testable claims
- Own global-markets page states Galaxy Global Markets offers institutional access to OTC and electronic trading, 'operating one of the largest OTC crypto derivatives trading desks', with metrics: 'TRADING COUNTERPARTIES 1.7K+', '50+ Licenses', 'AVERAGE LOAN BOOK SIZE $1.4B in Q2 2026', and 'regulated by the SEC, FINRA, NFA, CFTC, and FCA' (galaxy.com/global-markets, checked 10 Sept 2026)
- Own newsroom capital/liquidity update: 'The Company is headquartered in New York City, with offices in Chicago, Jersey City, London, Amsterdam, Tokyo, Hong Kong, and the Cayman Islands (registered office)' (galaxy.com/newsroom/galaxy-digital-provides-updated-capital-and-liquidity-position)

Claims that remain the venue's own measurement
- '50+ Licenses' and 'one of the world's leading institutional liquidity providers in the digital asset space' are own marketing metrics without a licence register breakdown
- 'one of the largest OTC crypto derivatives trading desks' is self-measured
