Alex Thorn talks with Dan Matuszewski (CMS Holdings) about the state of the market, how it compares to prior Bitcoin bear markets, prediction markets, perps, policy, and more. Alex also talks to Beimnet Abebe (Galaxy Trading) about geopolitics, market impacts, and why he’s near-term bullish on BTC. Participants, along with Galaxy, hold a financial interest in Bitcoin (BTC). Galaxy regularly engages in buying and selling BTC, including hedging transactions, for its own proprietary accounts and on behalf of its counterparties. Galaxy also provides services to vehicles that invest in BTC. If the value of such assets increases, those vehicles may benefit, and Galaxy’s service fees may increase accordingly. The valuation in this communication is based on technical, fundamental, and market analysis and not on any formal valuation method.
