Mike Novogratz’s Galaxy Digital Company loses more than $300 million to bitcoin price drop.
Crypto investment and financial services firm Galaxy Digital Holdings suffered a revenue loss of more than $300 million in the second quarter of 2022 due to market fears.
After deducting gains and losses, total losses were estimated at $2.2 billion, a 12% decrease from March 2022.
In the current market conditions, cryptocurrency income losses are inevitable. This was due to the $25,000 drop in Bitcoin’s price, which caused more and more people to flee the market. It was also impacted by the demise of Project Terra, which weakened the belief in stablecoins and the DeFi world.
