Galaxy and Sharplink launch $125M DeFi fund

Galaxy, led by Mike Novogratz, and Sharplink have launched a $125 million private fund that will invest staked Ether in decentralized finance strategies. The move comes as institutions increasingly seek yield from their Ethereum holdings. Sharplink also reported a large quarterly loss.
