AVAX: First Publicly-Traded Avalanche-Focused Company
AgriFORCE Growing Systems Ltd (AGRI) unveiled plans to rebrand as AVAX One, becoming the first NASDAQ-listed company dedicated to Avalanche.
The company is preparing a $550 million capital raise strategy with the goal of accumulating over $700 million worth of AVAX tokens.
AVAX One aims to be a public vehicle for investors seeking exposure to Avalanche, a blockchain that has already attracted top Wall Street players such as KKR, Apollo, and J.P. Morgan for tokenization projects, noted a press release.
Two-Layered Strategy
Currently secured by $6.2 billion in staked assets, Avalanche is increasingly viewed as an institutional-grade settlement layer for the next generation of finance.
AgriForce is delighted to announce our $550 Million Capital Raise Strategy and will be renamed AVAX One.

CEO Jolie Kahn said that Avalanche is reshaping global markets, while Matt Zhang, founder of Hivemind Capital and nominee for Chairman of the Board, described AVAX One’s vision as building the “Berkshire Hathaway of the onchain financial economy.”
The company plans a two-layered strategy, i.e., short-term disciplined accumulation of AVAX and long-term onboarding of fintech businesses onto the Avalanche network.
ParaFi, Galaxy Digital, Digital Currency Group, Kraken, Republic Digital, HashKey Capital, and more than 50 other investors were involved, as per AgriFORCE.
BNB: $500 Million PIPE to Cement Market Leadership
Meanwhile, CEA Industries Inc., rebranded as the BNB Network Company, announced the filing of a $500 million common equity PIPE and up to $750 million in warrants, marking one of the largest institutional fundraising efforts for BNB.
In a letter to shareholders, CEO David Namdar drew parallels to Michael Saylor’s early Bitcoin strategy, framing BNC’s mission as compounding BNB ownership per share over the long term.
