Galaxy Digital (TSX: GLXY), the publicly listed cryptocurrency conglomerate helmed by Mike Novogratz, saw its third-quarter income grow to $517 million, according to a Monday earnings release. That’s an increase of 1,146% from the $41.5 million the firm made in 2020′s third quarter.

In addition, Galaxy said income for the fourth quarter of this year currently stands at $400 million for the period Sept. 30 to Nov. 12.

Galaxy’s results reflect a booming crypto industry with areas like decentralized finance (DeFi) and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) adding to the firm’s revenues.

Galaxy has deployed $62 million of strategic capital into 22 different NFT-related companies through direct investments and through Galaxy Interactive Fund strategies, according to a press release. The firm also directly purchased two NFTs from prominent collections.

That said, the firm’s trading business represents the lion’s share of money-generating operations. Trading accounted for $360.7 million of the $517 million in third-quarter revenues.
