Bitcoin Goes Mainstream: Top Win Pivots to Crypto, Steak N Shake Flips the Script, and Galaxy Hits Nasdaq

Another day, another brick in the wall of institutional adoption—Top Win ditches its legacy brand to go all-in on digital assets, while burger chain Steak N Shake starts chewing on Bitcoin payments. Meanwhile, Galaxy’s Nasdaq debut proves Wall Street still needs a blockchain co-sign to feel relevant.

Funny how the ’future of money’ now depends on fry cooks and stock tickers. The revolution will be monetized.

Galaxy’s Nasdaq Debut

Galaxy, the Toronto-based crypto-focused financial services firm led by Mike Novogratz, has commenced trading on Nasdaq Global Select Market.

Novogratz, who described the listing as a "pivotal moment" for Galaxy in a letter shared via email, rang the opening bell on the Nasdaq floor on Friday.

Galaxy announced its plans at the end of last month, in which it also said GLXY WOULD remain listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) "for a period of time following [its] intended listing on Nasdaq."

GLXY shares traded at around $22.61 in early trading, 3.2% higher on the day. The Toronto-traded shares rose 2.98% to C$31.48 ($22.53).
