    "what_it_does": "Galoy develops open-source banking infrastructure that enables regulated financial institutions to integrate Bitcoin and Lightning Network services into their existing core systems. It offers modular application programming interfaces (APIs) for payments, stablecoins, and exchange capabilities without requiring banks to replace their legacy technology. The platform also provides digital-asset-backed lending, Bitcoin exchange, custody options, and embedded wallet infrastructure. Galoy's software can act as a 'sidecar' layer alongside existing banking systems or as a primary core for new Bitcoin-first institutions.",
    "primary_audience": "Regulated financial institutions, including banks and credit unions, as well as communities, companies, and governments seeking to integrate Bitcoin and digital assets into their financial services.",
    "core_product": "The core product is an open-source Bitcoin-native banking infrastructure, referred to as the 'Galoy Core'. This includes a unified multi-currency ledger for dollars, euros, Bitcoin, and stablecoins, Bitcoin and stablecoin payment rails, digital-asset-backed lending (such as Lana), and embedded wallet infrastructure. It also provides tools for portfolio analysis, exchange revenue analysis, deposit attrition analysis, risk scenarios, and regulatory radar.",
