Özet

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.

XRP And Bitcoin Investors Are ‘Trapped’, But Is There A Way Out?

Crypto analyst RWA Investor claims that both XRP and Bitcoin short sellers are currently 'trapped.' He outlines a potential roadmap for XRP to reach a new all-time high of $7. The prediction involves XRP first breaking the $1.50-$1.60 range to rally to $2-$3, followed by a major pullback. A third wave is then expected to emerge, culminating in a final bear trap before a massive short squeeze propels the price to the $7 target. The analyst attributes this anticipated rally to Federal Reserve rate cuts and quantitative easing. Separately, analyst CasiTrades suggests XRP move to the $1.50-$1.53 range is still possible if Bitcoin approaches $79,900, provided XRP holds the $1.39 support level.

Kelp DAO Hack: Aave DAO Proposes To Contribute 25,000 ETH To Recovery Efforts

Aave DAO has proposed contributing 25,000 ETH from its treasury to a coordinated recovery effort following a major exploit on Kelp DAO. The attack, which occurred on April 18, targeted Kelp's rsETH Ethereum LayerZero adapter, resulting in a loss of approximately 163,183 ETH. Through frozen assets, recovered funds, and expected liquidations, over half the deficit has been covered, but a gap of roughly 75,081 ETH remains. A coalition named "DeFi United," including pledges from EtherFi, Lido, Ethena, and a credit line from Mantle, is mobilizing to restore the system. Aave's anchored contribution is a key part of this effort to reintroduce liquidity and fully back the affected tokens.

Who Exactly Is Persistently Funding the Crypto Bear Market?

Despite a significant crypto market downturn in Q1 2026, with Bitcoin falling over 25% and Ethereum down 35%, institutional investment continued to flow in. Key buyers included corporate treasuries like Strategy (MicroStrategy), which aggressively added over $10 billion in Bitcoin, sovereign wealth funds such as Mubadala, and major banks launching new crypto ETFs. Over 26 new single-asset crypto ETFs were filed or launched under new SEC rules, including products from BlackRock and Morgan Stanley. VC funding showed concentration, with total funding around $5-6.8 billion but deal count dropping 49%. Three major deals—BVNK ($1.8B), Kalshi ($1B), and Polymarket ($600M)—accounted for half the quarter’s funding. Investment shifted toward payment/stablecoin and prediction market sectors, while DeFi and NFT/gaming funding declined sharply. The market is bifurcated: long-term holders and institutions are accumulating, while tactical hedge funds and miners are selling. The U.S. strategic Bitcoin reserve remains unallocated, leaving corporate and sovereign buyers as the main drivers during this bear phase.

When Is The Next FOMC Meeting And What Are The Expectations For Crypto?

The next FOMC meeting is scheduled for April 29, 2026, and is expected to result in no change to the current interest rate of 3.5-3.75%. According to the FedWatch Tool, there is a 99.5% probability rates will remain unchanged, a 0.5% chance of a hike, and a 0% chance of a cut. Consequently, the crypto market is anticipated to see little to no significant movement following the announcement. Historically, FOMC decisions heavily influence crypto: hawkish stances (rate hikes) often cause market declines, while dovish stances (rate cuts) typically trigger rallies. A neutral decision, like the one expected, usually allows the market to continue its existing trend without major disruption.
