We’re excited to announce our non-binding agreement with @GalaxyHQ to launch a first-of-its-kind $125M ecosystem liquidity fund to deploy capital into high-quality DeFi protocols and generate risk-managed returns that increase our ETH per share. The Galaxy Sharplink Onchain Yield Fund will be managed by Galaxy Digital and will target onchain liquidity strategies and early-stage protocol support. 👇🧵
