Sky Protocol and Galaxy Digital Announce Strategic Partnership Across Lending and Capital Markets

Galaxy adds sUSDS to its corporate treasury and approves it as institutional loan collateral, alongside a purchase of SKY; making Galaxy the first public company to hold sUSDS on its balance sheet.

CAYMAN ISLANDS, Sept. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Sky Protocol, the largest onchain capital allocator, and Galaxy Digital (Nasdaq: GLXY), a global leader in digital assets and data center infrastructure, today announced a collaboration spanning lending and capital markets, and deepening Galaxy's use of Sky Protocol's savings token while expanding the onchain credit available to Galaxy's institutional platform, which serves more than 1,600 total trading counterparties.

As part of the collaboration, Galaxy has added $100m of sUSDS, the native savings token accessible through Sky Protocol, to its corporate treasury and approved sUSDS as eligible collateral across its institutional trading business, which carries a $1.4 billion average loan book. Clients who post sUSDS against a loan continue accruing the Sky Savings Rate on the full position for as long as the loan runs.

Galaxy is one of the first public companies to hold sUSDS on its balance sheet, deepening an onchain credit relationship that has been built for some time. That relationship began with Grove, a Prime Agent in the Sky ecosystem that serves as an institutional-grade credit infrastructure protocol and the liquidity engine of onchain finance. Grove provides Galaxy a $500 million warehouse lending facility, in which Grove acts as the warehouse lender, committing USDS capital through a dedicated lending vehicle to finance Galaxy's origination of institutional loans secured by digital assets. Galaxy has since borrowed on Spark, a second Prime Agent, to support GOFR, expanding the onchain financing available to Galaxy's institutional clients, and tying it directly to Galaxy's own onchain rate, and diversifying its funding sources for that product.

"Sky was built so the same savings rate can be made available to anyone, from an individual saver to a Nasdaq-listed balance sheet. This partnership carries that across the full breadth of institutional finance: onto Galaxy's balance sheet, through its lending book, and into its Global Markets franchise. It's a blueprint for how the traditional financial system connects to onchain capital, built with a partner willing to put its own capital first." - Greg Feibus, Global Head of Capital Markets, Sky Frontier Foundation

For Galaxy, the partnership is also a strategic entry point into the largest pool of capital onchain. Sky Protocol is the largest source of onchain stablecoin liquidity by a wide margin, with $5.41 billion entering Q3 2026 being supplied through independent allocators and into institutional tokenized funds, where it holds anchor positions in BlackRock's BUIDL and Janus Henderson's JTRSY. The partnership connects Galaxy's offerings directly to that ecosystem

"Galaxy has relied on Sky Protocol's infrastructure to support our onchain financing for some time," said Max Bareiss, Head of Lending at Galaxy. "Adding sUSDS to our treasury and as loan collateral, and deepening our GOFR financing through Sky, gives our clients more efficient access to onchain yield, backed by a savings rate we trust with our own balance sheet."

The collaboration also addresses a longstanding barrier to institutional participation in onchain yield. Corporate treasuries, funds, and allocators have approached decentralized savings products cautiously, typically waiting for a regulated counterparty to establish precedent. A partnership with a firm of Galaxy's size and credibility adds further validation, reinforcing Sky Protocol's push to strengthen its reserves and security as it earns the trust of institutions.

That progress is reflected in Sky Protocol's recent performance: sUSDS supply recently met the $5.52 billion milestone at Q2 close, up 149% in a year; and posted five consecutive profitable quarters, including $107.35 million in gross revenue and a $33.29 million net surplus in Q2 2026.

The timing also reflects broader market momentum. Tokenized savings and real-world assets rank among the fastest-growing sources of institutional collateral. The value of onchain real-world assets, excluding stablecoins, surpassed $33 billion in July 2026, roughly four times their level in early 2025. This integration moves tokenized assets into mainstream institutional finance, allowing firms to accrue a savings rate on capital while using it to back loans and trades entirely onchain.
