Forward-looking Information and Important Considerations
Certain information in this presentation, including, but not limited to, statements regarding Galaxy Digital Holdings Ltd.’s (“Galaxy Digital” or the “Company”) anticipated business or opportunities, may constitute forward looking
information within the meaning of Canadian securities laws (collectively, forward-looking information). Forward-looking information can be identified by the use of terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect, “anticipate,”
“project,” “estimate,” “intend,” “continue” or “believe” (or the negatives) or other similar variations. Because of various r isks and uncertainties, including those referenced below and herein, actual events or results may differ
materially from those reflected or contemplated in such forward-looking information. Forward looking statements are subject to the risk that the global economy, industry or the Company’s businesses and investments do not
perform as anticipated, that revenue or expenses estimates may not be met or may be materially less or more than those antici pated, that trading and lending momentum does not continue or the demand for trading and lending
solutions declines, that expected fundraising for asset management products is delayed or not achieved, that investment banki ng transactions may be modified or not completed at all, that the mining business is not able to gain
traction with clients and partners and those other risks contained in the Annual Information Form (AIF) for the year ended De cember 31, 2020. Factors that could cause actual results of the Company and its businesses to differ
materially from those described in such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, a decline in the digital asset market or general economic conditions; the failure or delay in the adoption of digital assets and the
blockchain ecosystem by institutions; a delay or failure in developing infrastructure for the trading, mining and investment banking businesses or achieving mandates and gaining traction and the failure to grow assets under
management. In connection with the forward-looking information contained in this presentation, the Company has made assumptions that no significant events occur outside of the normal course of business and other
assumptions set out herein. Forward-looking information is not a guarantee of future performance; accordingly, you should not pu t undue reliance on forward-looking information.

Certain statements reflect Galaxy Digital’s views, estimates, opinions or predictions (which may be based on proprietary mode ls and assumptions, including, in particular, Galaxy Digital’s views on the current and future market for
digital assets), and there is no guarantee that these views, estimates, opinions or predictions are currently accurate or tha t they will be ultimately realized. To the extent these assumptions or models are not correct or
circumstances change, the actual performance of Galaxy Digital and its subsidiaries may vary substantially from, and be less than, the estimated performance. The forward-looking information in this presentation and other
information in this presentation are applicable only as of today and Galaxy Digital undertakes no obligation to update any of this information to reflect events or circumstances after that date or to reflect the occurrence of
unanticipated events.

to the pre-released financial information summarized in this presentation (including by any one financial metric, or all of the financial metrics, being below or above the figures indicated) as a result of the completion of normal
quarter end accounting procedures and adjustments, and also what one might expect to be in the final consolidated financial s tatements based on the financial information summarized in this presentation. Although the Company
believes the expectations reflected in this presentation are based upon reasonable assumptions, the Company can give no assur ance that actual results will not differ materially from these expectations.

The Company listed on the TSX via TSX Sandbox, an initiative intended to facilitate listing applications that may not satisfy the original listing requirements of TSX, but due to facts or situations unique to a particular issuer
otherwise warrant a listing on TSX. The TSX has exercised its discretion to waive the requirements of subsection 309(c)(i) of its manual (C$10 million in treasury resulting from public raise) which the Company did not meet and
has approved the listing of the Company pursuant to TSX Sandbox. Galaxy Digital's approval pursuant to TSX Sandbox was condit ioned upon public filing of an Annual Information Form and prominent quarterly disclosure of
digital assets and investments, which the Company has completed and agreed to continue to provide. The Company will remain li sted pursuant to TSX Sandbox until such time as it has completed a twelve-month period without
significant compliance issues after graduation. In addition, Galaxy Digital is required to disclose the following two risk fa ctors that were also included in the most recent Annual Information Form for the year-ended 2020: (1) The
Company has limited operating history and its business lines are nascent and subject to material legal, regulatory, operation al and other risks in every jurisdiction; and (2) the market price and trading volume of the Company's
ordinary shares has been volatile and will likely continue to be so in response to, among other factors, market fluctuations in digital assets generally or the digital assets that Galaxy Digital holds or trades.
