The first project will be a new business unit that Galaxy describes as &#8220;a one-stop financial services platform for miners.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Dubbed Galaxy Digital Mining, the unit is being led by\u00a0Amanda Fabiano \u2014 formerly the director of mining at Fidelity Investments. In a brief snapshot of her background in financial services, Galaxy notes Fabiano&#8217;s experience in working with non-traditional securitization, real-asset financing, structured products, investment banking, and strategic advisory.<\/p>\n<p>Galaxy&#8217;s services for miners will, at the outset, encompass trading and risk management, investing and lending, as well as corporate advisory. Co-president Chris Ferraro has given some insight into where Galaxy Digital Mining fits into the company&#8217;s overall roadmap:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We see major opportunities in mining project financing, equipment financing, digital asset-backed financing, as well as working capital optimization and hedging solutions.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Alongside miner-focused financial services, Galaxy Digital Mining has also created a proprietary Bitcoin mining operation and is reportedly hosting its rigs at a third-party datacenter in the United States.\u00a0Fabiano claimed that the two aspects of the unit&#8217;s activities will be complimentary, saying that &#8220;by mining ourselves, we are able to deeply understand and solve for the financial needs of miners.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As previously reported, Galaxy Digital had a bullish 2020, mirroring the fortunes of the wider industry and signaling increased institutional investor participation in crypto.\u00a0Its third-quarter earnings report showed a 75% year-on-year rise in trading volumes, which it attributed to an expanding counterparty base, the launch of its electronic trading platform, and the growth of its crypto derivatives business.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
