Galaxy Digital announced the launch of institutional OTC prediction markets trading through its Global Markets trading desk. With this offering, Galaxy can now enable hedge funds, family offices, and other institutional clients to access prediction market liquidity at sizes and with a level of discretion not available through retail interfaces. The offering covers instruments referencing non-sports event contracts traded on Kalshi and Polymarket - spanning economic, political, geopolitical, and other event-driven markets - with plans to expand to additional platforms. Galaxy can also pair prediction market positions with hedges in equities, commodities, and other assets, giving clients the ability to build complete risk strategies around a single event rather than managing exposure in silos. Galaxy has already put the offering to work, executing a $10 million trade with Arca, a crypto-native hedge fund, on the outcomes associated with the passage of the CLARITY ACT. Galaxy's OTC desk facilitated Arca's trade, enabling them to take a precise position tied directly to the outcome, accessing institutional-scale liquidity and executing the trade efficiently on a bilateral basis.
