Galaxy Announces Final Close of Oversubscribed Galaxy Ventures Fund I at Over $175M
Galaxy Ventures raises its inaugural venture fund with the support of a global base of limited partners to back early-stage startups building the onchain economy
NEW YORK, June 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Galaxy Asset Management, an affiliate of Galaxy Digital Inc. (NASDAQ: GLXY) (TSX: GLXY) and one of the world's largest digital asset and blockchain investment managers, today announced the final close of its oversubscribed Galaxy Ventures Fund I, LP ('GVF I' or 'the Fund'). Driven by strong investor demand for access to the growing digital asset venture ecosystem, the Fund closed with over $175 million in capital commitments, exceeding its target of $150 million.
The Fund is focused on investing in early-stage companies developing critical infrastructure and applications for the onchain economy. Its investment strategy spans the categories of financialized applications, blockchain protocols, and software infrastructure. The Fund specifically has and will continue to target investments in secular growth areas like stablecoins, payments, and tokenization, plus all the supporting infrastructure that makes such technologies viable.
This milestone marks a new chapter for Galaxy Ventures, which had previously invested from Galaxy's balance sheet since 2018. Given Galaxy Ventures' strong track record of supporting visionary founders at the earliest stages, GVF I attracted a diverse group of limited partners, including institutional investors, family offices, and strategic digital asset businesses. The portfolio already includes some of the most promising startups in the space such as 1Money, Arch Lending, Ethena, M^0, Monad, Plume, Rail, Rain, RedotPay, Ubyx, and Yellow Card, among others. Including historical balance sheet investments and the current GVF I portfolio, Galaxy Ventures has backed more than 120 companies to date.
'Galaxy Ventures closing its first fund above the target at a time when raising crypto venture is historically difficult showcases our team's unique edge in the market,' said Mike Novogratz, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Galaxy. 'With deep roots in onchain markets and blockchain infrastructure, we're committed to backing founders and startups building real-world use cases that are shaping the next chapter of crypto adoption.'
The Galaxy Ventures team is headed by Will Nuelle and Mike Giampapa. They are supported by a team of investors and a dedicated Ventures Platform function that directly supports portfolio companies with in-house company building resources and connectivity to Galaxy's global business lines including blockchain infrastructure, lending, trading, and more. With a global team of more than 550 employees, Galaxy offers portfolio companies deep industry connectivity, insight, and access to growth opportunities that help portfolio companies navigate the rapidly shifting crypto landscape.
'Blockchain infrastructure is poised to revolutionize global financial markets. We're seeing an acceleration of adoption from both institutions and retail users globally—especially around use cases like payments, capital markets, and financial services more broadly,' said Mike Giampapa. 'By investing in the teams that are building these core technologies and supporting their growth directly, we have a front-row seat to the most novel concepts and products in crypto.'

Deadline Approaching: Tempus AI, Inc. (TEM) Investors Who Lost Money Urged To Contact Law Offices of Howard G. Smith
BENSALEM, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Law Offices of Howard G. Smith reminds investors of the upcoming deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the case filed on behalf of investors who purchased Tempus AI, Inc. ('Tempus' or the 'Company') (NASDAQ: TEM) common stock between August 6, 2024 and May 27, 2025, inclusive (the 'Class Period'). IF YOU ARE AN INVESTOR WHO SUFFERED A LOSS IN TEMPUS AI, INC. (TEM), CONTACT THE LAW OFFICES OF HOWARD G. SMITH TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ONGOING SECURITIES FRAUD LAWSUIT. Contact the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith to discuss your legal rights by email at howardsmith@ by telephone at (215) 638-4847 or visit our website at What Happened? On May 28, 2025, Spruce Point Capital published a report alleging, among other things, that Tempus' AI capabilities were overstated, and that Company's recent financial guidance revision revealed weakness in its core operations. On this news, Tempus' stock price fell $12.67, or 19.2%, to close at $53.20 per share on May 28, 2025, thereby injuring investors. What Is The Lawsuit About? The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Tempus inflated the value of contract agreements, many of which were with related parties, included non-binding opt-ins and/or were self-funded; (2) the credibility and substance of the joint venture with SoftBank was at risk because it gave the appearance of 'round-tripping' capital to create revenue for Tempus; (3) Tempus-acquired Ambry had a business model based on aggressive and potentially unethical billing practices that risked scrutiny and unsustainability; (4) AstraZeneca had reduced its financial commitments to Tempus through a questionable 'pass-through payment' via a joint agreement between it, the Company and Pathos AI; (5) the foregoing issues revealed weakness in core operations and revenue prospects; and (6) as a result, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. If you purchased or otherwise acquired Tempus securities during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than August 12, 2025 to ask the Court to appoint you as lead plaintiff if you meet certain legal requirements.

Why Meta Shares Are Climbing Today
June 26 - Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) shares climbed more than 2% Thursday morning after UBS significantly raised its price target, citing long-term gains from artificial intelligence-related initiatives. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 6 Warning Sign with META. UBS boosted its target on the stock to $812 from $683, suggesting a potential upside of nearly 15%. The firm pointed to rising consumer and advertiser interest in AI tools, especially in areas like Business Messaging and Meta AI, as key revenue drivers going forward. Analysts at UBS expressed increased confidence in Meta's ability to generate returns from its investment in generative AI infrastructure. They also noted that Meta's direct use of its own AI technology could shield it from broader weaknesses in enterprise AI spending, which has recently shown signs of slowing. The brokerage added that Meta's monetization of AI could help maintain a stronger-than-expected pace in advertising revenue over the longer term. That confidence supports the higher valuation, especially with Meta already gaining 22% year-to-date, far outpacing the S&P 500's 3.6% rise. The bullish price revision reflects optimism that Meta's expanding AI capabilities may enhance engagement and create new monetization opportunities across its platforms, despite a competitive and fast-moving tech landscape. The stock's recent momentum, paired with upbeat analyst sentiment, suggests investors are watching Meta's AI strategy closely as a potential driver of sustained growth.
