Galaxy Digital’s realized and unrealized losses totaled about $41 million in the third quarter of 2018, bringing losses for the first nine months of the year to $136 million.

The largest contributors to the net realized loss in Q3 were losses on sales of ETH ($22.1 million), BTC ($9.7 million) and XRP ($2.6 million), partially offset by $1.9 million of realized gains on ETC.
