Galaxy expands to UAE as part of Middle East push

Resumen

Galaxy, a digital asset management firm, is expanding into the Middle East by establishing a new office and entity in Abu Dhabi under the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM). The move aims to strengthen existing partnerships and tap into the region's growing financial hub, which is home to sophisticated investors. This expansion follows Galaxy's strong Q3 2025 performance, with $505 million net income and $3.2 billion in equity. The UAE has recently approved several crypto firms, including Binance, Bybit, and stablecoin issuers like Tether and Circle, further solidifying its role as a key market for digital assets.

Galaxy, the digital asset management and infrastructure company, announced an upcoming office and a new arm in Abu Dhabi as part of its push into the Middle East.

In a Wednesday notice, Galaxy said it would establish an entity under the registration authority of the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), the area’s international financial center. According to Galaxy founder and CEO Mike Novogratz, the move was part of a strategy to expand the company’s existing partnerships and operations.

“The Middle East is a rapidly growing financial hub that is home to some of the world’s most sophisticated investors and innovators,” said Galaxy managing director Bouchra Darwazah. “It has become a particularly influential region for our investors, clients, and portfolio companies, and we believe this office will help establish new opportunities as a leading global digital assets investment and infrastructure firm.”

The Middle East move followed Galaxy reporting a net income of $505 million in the third quarter of 2025, with $3.2 billion in equity. Since 2018, the company has been a major player in staying on top of crypto investments, including its plan to participate in a $1.65 billion Solana (SOL) treasury fund with Cantor Fitzgerald, Multicoin Capital and Jump Crypto.

UAE greenlighted several crypto companies looking to Middle East markets

Over the past year, numerous crypto companies have received regulatory approval to operate in key Middle East markets, including Dubai and Abu Dhabi, such as exchanges Binance and Bybit.

Some stablecoin issuers have had similar success. In November, ADGM cleared regulated companies to deploy Ripple’s stablecoin, Ripple USD (RLUSD). This week, the financial center also recognized Tether’s USDt (USDT) as an “accepted fiat-referenced token” and granted Circle regulatory approval to operate as a financial service provider, paving the way for its USDC (USDC) stablecoin.

"The Big Short" Burry and Legendary Investor Jones Warn in Unison: AI Frenzy Reminiscent of Pre-Crash 2000

Michael Burry, famous for predicting the U.S. housing market crash, warns that the current stock market obsession with artificial intelligence resembles the final stages of the dot-com bubble. In a recent post, Burry noted that financial media is dominated by AI talk, and markets no longer react logically to economic data like jobs reports or consumer sentiment. Instead, stocks are rising simply because they have been rising, driven by a widely accepted two-letter narrative—AI—akin to late 1999 and early 2000. He compared the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index's sharp rally to the period just before the March 2000 tech crash. Similarly, legendary macro trader Paul Tudor Jones compared the AI-driven rally to the pre-dot-com bubble era of 1999, suggesting the bull market might have another year or two to run. However, he cautioned that if valuations continue to expand—potentially pushing the stock market capitalization to GDP ratio to 300-350%—a severe and dramatic correction would eventually follow. Both investors highlight the exuberant, speculative fervor around AI stocks, drawing parallels to past market manias preceding significant downturns.

This delayed timeline is expected to tighten liquidity flow into risk assets, including cryptocurrencies. * **DeFi & Revenue:** Data from DefiLlama shows that three leading DeFi applications—Hyperliquid, Pump.fun, and EdgeX—collectively distributed $96.3 million in revenue to their token holders over the last 30 days. This trend highlights a shift in the crypto community's focus towards real protocol earnings and sustainable economic models. * **Corporate Bitcoin Moves:** Michael Saylor, founder of MicroStrategy (note: referred to as 'Strategy' in the text, likely a typographical error), has signaled potential upcoming Bitcoin purchases by posting a "Bitcoin Tracker" update, following a pattern that typically precedes the company's official disclosure of new acquisitions. * **Market Integrity:** Prediction market platform Polymarket announced updates to address platform issues, including identifying and banning clusters of accounts involved in "ghost-fill" activities and implementing measures to prevent bulk account creation. * **Regulation:** The Bank of England Governor warned that stablecoin regulation could lead to tensions between US and international regulators.

Telegram Takes Direct Control of TON, Social Traffic Rewrites the Public Chain Narrative

Telegram founder Pavel Durov announced that Telegram will replace the TON Foundation as the core driver and largest validator of The Open Network (TON). Key initiatives include a sixfold reduction in transaction fees, performance upgrades, and improved developer tools within the next few weeks. This marks a strategic shift from Telegram merely providing user access to deeply integrating TON into its platform's core infrastructure. The goal is to transform Telegram's massive social traffic into sustainable on-chain activity. While viral mini-apps like Notcoin have demonstrated Telegram's ability to drive user adoption, TON aims to support frequent, low-value transactions inherent to social platforms—such as tipping, in-app payments, and game rewards. Ultra-low fees and sub-second finality (0.6 seconds) are crucial to making blockchain interactions seamless and nearly invisible within the Telegram user experience. However, Telegram's increased central role raises questions about network decentralization. Durov argues that Telegram's participation will attract more large validators, thereby enhancing decentralization. TON also offers high annual staking rewards (18.8%), aiming to retain capital within its ecosystem. The fundamental challenge for TON is no longer leveraging Telegram's user base, but becoming an indispensable, seamless infrastructure layer for Telegram's everyday applications—moving from an adjacent chain to an embedded utility.
