Galaxy Digital Launches GalaxyOne Platform for U.S. Investors

TheCryptoTimesPublicado em 2025-10-06Última atualização em 2025-10-06

Galaxy Digital Inc. (NASDAQ: GLXY) has launched GalaxyOne, a new financial platform aimed at U.S. investors. The platform combines high-interest cash accounts, cryptocurrency trading, and U.S. stock trading to let investors manage different types of investments on a single app or website.

GalaxyOne’s main offering, Galaxy Premium Yield, gives U.S. accredited investors the chance to earn an 8% annual return on their cash through investment notes issued by Galaxy Digital LP. These notes are backed by Galaxy’s institutional lending operations, which have been active since 2018. 

Each investment requires a minimum of $25,000 and is capped at $1 million per investor, with a total platform limit of $250 million. Interest is calculated daily and paid monthly into a GalaxyOne Cash account.

For all investors, GalaxyOne Cash provides a high-yield cash account with a 4% APY, insured by the FDIC up to $250,000 through Cross River Bank. Investors on GalaxyOne can choose to have the interest they earn automatically reinvested into major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Solana.

With GalaxyOne, trading cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana happens instantly, and interest can even be set to reinvest automatically. The platform also lets investors trade U.S. stocks and ETFs without paying commissions, with the option to buy small fractions of shares starting at $10. Retirement accounts, including traditional and Roth IRAs, are available, and earning extra income is possible by lending out eligible stocks.

GalaxyOne was developed from the mobile platform Fierce, acquired by Galaxy in 2024. Zac Prince, Galaxy Digital’s Managing Director, leads the platform, while Fierce’s former CEO, Rob Cornish, now serves as GalaxyOne’s Chief Technology Officer.

Positioning in the market

The platform enters a regulatory environment that has become clearer for both traditional and digital assets in the U.S. GalaxyOne is trying to stand out from platforms like Coinbase and Robinhood by focusing on strong risk management, clear information, and solid security for all its products. It is positioning itself as a versatile tool for U.S. retail investors looking to combine traditional and digital investments.

Mike Novogratz, Galaxy’s CEO, said, “We’ve spent years building institutional-quality infrastructure to serve the world’s most sophisticated investors. Now, we’re extending that edge to individuals.” Zac Prince added, “GalaxyOne delivers exactly that: a unified opportunity to earn yield on cash, trade crypto, and access U.S. equities.”

Fei-Fei Li's Team Clarifies the Concept of 'World Models', Sora Merely a Renderer

"World Models" has become a widely used yet confusing term in AI. To address this, a team led by Fei-Fei Li and World Labs proposed a functional taxonomy based on the Partially Observable Markov Decision Process framework. This taxonomy categorizes systems called "world models" into three distinct projections: Renderers, Simulators, and Planners. Renderers, like OpenAI's Sora and other video generation models, focus on producing photorealistic visual outputs for human perception. They prioritize visual fidelity over physical accuracy. Simulators, such as NVIDIA Omniverse, aim to compute precise future environmental states for computational tasks like engineering analysis or digital twins. Planners, like Vision-Language-Action models, take in observations and goals to output executable actions for robots or agents. The article clarifies that most current "world models," including Sora, are primarily Renderers. They generate convincing visuals but lack the core ability to simulate state transitions based on actions, a key requirement for a true world model in classic reinforcement learning definitions. This conceptual confusion has practical implications, leading to potential misalignment in technology selection, investment, and public understanding of AI capabilities. Clear categorization is crucial. It helps enterprises avoid costly mistakes (e.g., using a renderer for robot training), allows investors to accurately assess markets, and enables researchers to build comparable benchmarks. While future systems may integrate these functions, recognizing current boundaries is essential for honest assessment and progress.

Bloomberg Uncovered: How Do China's Wealthy Circumvent the Annual $50,000 Limit to Transfer Assets?

**Summary: How Wealthy Chinese Circumvent $50,000 Annual Foreign Exchange Limits** Despite China's strict capital controls, including an annual $50,000 per person foreign exchange quota, an estimated $150 billion in funds still leaves the country annually via various gray and underground channels. This report outlines the evolution of China's "capital wall" and the methods used to bypass it. **The Evolving Capital Controls:** * **Foundation (1994):** The system of "current account convertibility with strict capital account controls" was established. * **Quota Set (2007):** The $50,000 individual annual forex purchase limit was formalized. * **Crackdown Begins (2015-2017):** Following market volatility, enforcement tightened. Banks were required to scrutinize transactions, and channels like using UnionPay cards for Hong Kong insurance premiums or buying overseas property were blocked. * **Digital & Legal Upgrades (2024-2026):** Enhanced algorithms now flag suspicious patterns (e.g., "smurfing"). The Common Reporting Standard (CRS) provides Chinese tax authorities with data on citizens' offshore accounts. Unlicensed cross-border brokers have been targeted. **Five Primary Methods for Moving Capital:** 1. **Underground Banking / "Hawala" (Duiqiao):** The largest-scale method. No money crosses borders. Clients pay RMB to a domestic account; an overseas associate deposits equivalent foreign currency into the client's offshore account. Risks include high fees, account freezes, and legal penalties. 2. **"Smurfing" or "Ant Moving":** Using multiple individuals' $50,000 quotas to pool funds for one offshore recipient. Increasingly detected by anti-money laundering algorithms. 3. **Trade Invoice Manipulation:** Businesses over-invoice imports or under-invoice exports via offshore shell companies, creating a pretext to transfer excess funds abroad under the guise of trade. 4. **Channel Migration:** After a crackdown on internet brokers, funds flow toward more compliant but costly channels like major banks' cross-border wealth management services or Qualified Domestic Institutional Investor (QDII) quotas. 5. **Structural Arrangements:** High-net-worth individuals use complex, high-cost legal structures involving offshore trusts, insurance, and investment migration programs to transfer asset ownership. **Regulatory Response: Focusing on People, Not Just Money** The current strategy extends oversight from enterprises to **individual residents**. Tools like CRS allow retroactive visibility into offshore assets. Cryptocurrencies, once seen as a potential loophole, are now actively monitored and prosecuted as an illegal channel. The underlying driver remains: with significant wealth concentrated among millions of affluent households seeking diversification amid domestic economic shifts, the incentive to move assets offshore persists despite regulatory barriers.
