Avalanche (AVAX) has broken out of its multi-month accumulation range, turning the $26.50 resistance into support and reaching $29.99 – its highest level since February. Technical analysts from AltCryptoGems and Rekt Capital indicate that a weekly close above $26, followed by successful retesting, could propel AVAX toward the $35-$45 range.

AVAX reached $29, its highest price since February, after the Financial Times reported the Avalanche Foundation’s advanced talks to establish digital asset treasury companies (DATCOs) with $1 billion in funding. The initiative involves two separate deals: one led by Hivemind Capital targeting $500 million through a Nasdaq-traded company, and another $500 million effort through a Dragonfly Capital SPAC. Proceeds would purchase AVAX tokens at discounted prices, mirroring successful treasury strategies seen with Ethereum and Solana. The news fueled both price momentum and ecosystem activity, with Avalanche recording $900 million in DEX volume (sixth among blockchains) and tokenized real-world assets growing 139% to $450 million in the past month.

The Avalanche Foundation is negotiating two separate $500 million digital asset treasury vehicles to purchase AVAX tokens at a discount. Hivemind Capital would lead one vehicle through a Nasdaq-listed company with Anthony Scaramucci advising, while Dragonfly Capital would sponsor a $500 million SPAC. These off-exchange transactions, expected to close soon, would not directly impact spot markets but could influence AVAX prices through signaling effects, float reduction, and institutional validation. This development follows Avalanche’s growing traction in tokenization, including SkyBridge’s $300 million hedge fund tokenization and VanEck’s tokenized Treasury fund on the network. The move coincides with Nasdaq increasing scrutiny of crypto treasury companies, potentially affecting future similar structures.
