State Street Global Advisors and Galaxy Asset Management Collaborate to Bring the Next Generation of Digital Asset Based ETF Strategies to Market
Jun 27, 2024 at 05:03 am
First-movers in asset management seek to serve the digital asset marketplace end-to-end.
State Street Global Advisors, the asset management wing of State Street Corporation (NYSE: STT), and Galaxy Asset Management1, an affiliate of Galaxy Digital Holdings Ltd. (TSX: GLXY) and one of the world’s largest digital assets and blockchain investment managers, are collaborating to bring investors the next generation of digital asset based strategies that will offer exposure to companies involved in the digital asset space, going beyond cryptocurrencies and bitcoin.
This collaboration of market-leading, global asset managers is designed to bring investors the newest innovation in digital asset investing. By combining the strengths of two of the biggest brands and first-movers in asset management, State Street Global Advisors and Galaxy Asset Management will provide investors access to the $2.4 trillion digital asset ecosystem through manager-directed strategies.
“We believe that the digital assets landscape is so much more than the single crypto components and that crypto native companies are best equipped to understand that ecosystem and its correlation with financial markets,” said Anna Paglia, Chief Business Officer at State Street Global Advisors. “We are pleased to be working with Galaxy to educate investors about the role digital assets can play in a diversified portfolio, and provide the opportunity to participate in the next level of growth and innovation for the digital asset ecosystem,” she added.
Institutional and retail interest in digital assets has surged since the introduction of spot bitcoin ETFs. However, investors are also seeking exposure to this growing asset class through investment options beyond pure spot bitcoin. We believe this is where the next level of growth is for the digital asset ecosystem.
“Since Galaxy was founded, active management across the full ecosystem of digital assets and crypto companies has been a core competency,” said Steve Kurz, Global Head of Asset Management at Galaxy. “By partnering with State Street Global Advisors and utilizing our combined expertise, we believe we are in a strong position to make digital assets more accessible to the broader investment community through the creation of new ETFs offering exposure to digital assets.”
The expectation is that State Street Bank and Trust would provide administrative and accounting services for the new digital assets ETFs that State Street Global Advisors and Galaxy jointly develop pursuant to this collaboration.
