Re: BitGo Holdings, Inc. v. Galaxy Digital Holdings, LP, et al.,
C.A. No. 2022-0808-KSJM
Dear Counsel:
Non-party Pro Publica, Inc. challenged redactions in eight deposition
transcripts that the parties filed in connection with Defendants’ request for leave to
move for summary judgment.1 In response, the parties each filed Motions for
Continued Confidential Treatment.2 This letter grants both motions.
“Under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution and as a
matter of common law, the public has a presumptive right of access to judicial

records.”3 The public’s right of access to court documents and proceedings is
“considered fundamental to a democratic state and necessary in the long run so that
the public can judge the product of the courts in a given case.”4
Court of Chancery Rule 5.1 reflects the Court of Chancery’s commitment to the
public’s right of access.5 The default presumption under Rule 5.1 is that court
proceedings and filings are public record.6 Rule 5.1 allows parties to file documents
containing confidential information under seal (a “Confidential Filing”), but requires
a public version “for every Confidential Filing, except for an exhibit or lodged
deposition.”7 In public versions of Confidential Filings, parties may redact only
information that they believe constitutes “Confidential Information” as defined by
Rule 5.1.8
“Confidential Information” under Rule 5.1 means information:
(A) that is maintained confidentially; (B) that is not
otherwise publicly available; (C) where public access to the
information will cause particularized harm; and (D) where
the magnitude of the harm from public access to the
information outweighs the public interest in the
information.9
