Galaxy Digital Appoints Hedge Fund Veteran Tony Paquette as New CFO

Paquette expressed his excitement about joining Galaxy and acknowledged Loffe’s contributions to building a “robust finance team” ahead of the firm’s potential US listing:

I am thrilled to join Galaxy, whose reputation as a world-class operator and investor in digital assets, digital infrastructure, and other emerging technologies precedes it (…) I want to express my gratitude to Alex for building a robust finance team that has helped to prepare Galaxy for a potential U.S. listing

Paquette brings extensive experience to the role, including serving as CFO at Point72, leading a business unit at SoFi, and holding leadership positions during his nearly decade-long tenure at JPMorgan Chase. His arrival coincides with Galaxy Digital’s latest earnings report, which revealed a net loss of $54 million—30% higher than the previous quarter—while maintaining $2.1 billion in equity capital as of September 30, 2024.

Galaxy Digital might continue its upward trajectory despite the recent losses with the incoming Trump administration signaling plans for crypto-friendly regulations in 2025. This could potentially benefit the company’s operations and market outlook.
