Galois Capital: we are not starting a new fund

The foundation announced on Twitter that it would be closing. Galois Capital issued a statement saying that due to the FTX catastrophe, they lost almost half of their assets. Even though they were one of the few businesses to end with still-positive earnings to this point, the demanded US dollars were eventually sold.

Moreover, a strict non-disclosure agreement with BTIG governing the sale of FTX ownership will be enforced, and they will be bound by it. As a result, they won’t discuss the agreement’s terms, such as the price, the buyer, or the sale date.

This comes following the news from yesterday that the hedge fund Galois Capital had to shut down because 50% of its assets were stranded in the FTX. Kevin Zhou, a co-founder of Galois, also claimed that the fund had suspended all trading and was no longer active since it was no longer financially possible following the collapse of FTX.
