This acquisition expands the company’s Galaxy Fund Management platform, providing institutions with access to Vision Hill’s broad range of investment products, analytics, data, and benchmarks for the digital asset class.

Head of Global Markets and Co-President Damien Vanderwilt said, “As the institutionalization of digital assets accelerates, so does the need for comprehensive, institutional-grade platforms to support it, and that’s precisely what we’re building at Galaxy. The powerful data capabilities that Scott Army, Dan Zuller, and the Vision Hill team have developed are the perfect addition to our full suite of technology-driven financial services and investment management solutions, fostering the broader mainstream adoption of digital assets.”

Galaxy Digital’s Partner and Head of Asset Management Steve Kurz said, “Galaxy Fund Management is rapidly expanding its capabilities to ultimately provide institutional-grade exposure to every investable corner of digital assets so that institutions can easily get involved in this booming industry. Our acquisition of Vision Hill is an important milestone as Galaxy Fund Management’s product suite continues to grow and as we further define the digital asset class.”
