Galaxy Digital Holdings plans to move employees overseas amid regulatory uncertainty in the US. This was stated by the founder of the crypto trading bank Mike Novogratz, writes The Block.
The publication referred to a transcript of his speech at the Piper Sandler Global Exchange & FinTech conference. According to the entrepreneur, other firms will follow the example of Galaxy Digital.
“I think that, certainly, in the short term, we will seek to take people out of the US abroad. A lot of people do that,” Novogratz explained.
At the same time, he stressed that in the medium and long term, the States “should be part of the system.”
“We are too much of a global economy. And in order for the cryptocurrency to really fulfill its purpose, we must involve the United States in this. And so I am by no means going to give the middle finger to the regulator. We are trying to interact with politicians and regulators every single day to come to the right decision,” added the head of Galaxy Digital.
