Major income rises thanks to cryptocurrencies

This has been another record quarter for the company. During Q4 of 2020, Galaxy Digital showed up with a net comprehensive income of $336 million.

Now, it has soared 58 percent, amounting to a whopping $860 million. Losses during the previous year totaled $26.9 million.

As per the press release, this income has mainly come from digital currencies and investments (realized and unrealized gains) and the trading business of Galaxy Digital.

Income that came particularly from trading this year totals $508.7 million. The net realized gains made by company investments total $151.1 million.

The Fair Value of Net Asset Holdings has seen a rise by 128 percent, to a total of $1.85 billion. At the end of 2020, this figure equaled $813.5 million.

The increase in these gains was due to the purchase of extra digital assets, the press release says.

The crypto-based products launched by the company recently are the CI Galaxy Bitcoin ETF (BTCX) and Galaxy Ethereum Funds.

This line of products also includes the Galaxy Bitcoin Fund LP and the Galaxy Institutional Bitcoin Fund LP. Morgan Stanley has been offering these products to its wealthy customers since March.

There are other products offered by Mike Novogratz's company as well.
