Galaxy Digital fell 3.99% to $21.27, driven by a broader cryptocurrency market sell-off that erased over $100 billion in digital asset value and triggered $400M+ in liquidations, combined with a Goldman Sachs price-target cut from $28 to $24 (Neutral maintained), per the crypto market analysis cited by finance.yahoo.com. Bitcoin dropped below $83,000 amid macro headwinds including rising Treasury yields and a stronger U.S. dollar.
Galaxy Digital surged 7.98% to $24.06 on September 18, 2026, driven by a broad crypto-sector rally and positive regulatory news. The SEC approved a temporary exemption for tokenized stock trading (per Seeking Alpha and Investing.com), providing tailwind for digital asset–adjacent financial firms; this gain coincided with strength in major tokens and continued market optimism around Galaxy's Texas Helios data center campus infrastructure. Volume of 2.3M shares ran at 0.80x the historical average at this point in the session—normal for the time of day.

Morgan Stanley analyst James Faucette raised his price target on Galaxy Digital from $37.00 to $48.00 while maintaining an Overweight rating, citing expectations that the company's Helios II data center will receive "Batch Zero Base Load" classification from ERCOT—a regulatory milestone for rapid power energization.
