## Resource

Alex Thorn talks with Matt Corallo, Bitcoin developer at Spiral, about debates over Bitcoin’s development path, node implementations, and pathways and possibilities for mitigating the impact of a potential future cryptographically relevant quantum computer. Matt first contributed to Bitcoin Core in 2011 and today focuses on building tools for Bitcoin’s Lightning Network. Alex also talks with Beimnet Abebe (Galaxy Trading) about rising inflation expectations, the new Fed chair, and tricky macro conditions. Participants, along with Galaxy Digital, 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. For more information, please refer to Galaxy’s public filings and statements. Cryptocurrencies, including BTC and ZEC, are inherently volatile and risky and ultimate market movements may not align with this statement. For additional risks related to digital assets, please refer to the risk factors contained in filings Galaxy Digital Inc. makes with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) from time to time, including its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, available at www.sec.gov.
