Anthony Scaramucci-linked AVAX One tumbles 32% on uncertainty around shareholder sales

What to know:

  • Shares of AVAX One, a digital asset treasury firm advised by Anthony Scaramucci, fell more than 30% after the company filed to register up to nearly 74 million shares held by insiders as available for sale.
  • The registration, which enables early investors to resell previously restricted stock, stoked fears of dilution.
  • AVAX One's move reflects broader pressures on crypto-native public firms whose stocks trade at steep discounts to the value of their token holdings, though it remains unclear if or when the registered shares will be sold.

AVAX One, the digital asset treasury firm advised by SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci, saw its shares tumble more than 32% after it registered nearly 74 million shares held by insiders as available for sale.

The company, which holds AVAX tokens and related Avalanche ecosystem assets, made the disclosure late on Tuesday. While the filing did not specify when, or even whether, the shares would be sold, registering them with the SEC paves the way for resale on the public market.

The steep market reaction highlights investor concerns about dilution. By registering shares for resale, companies often signal that a block of previously restricted stock may soon hit the open market. That can push prices down, especially in illiquid or thinly traded stocks.

AVAX One had recently announced a plan to buy back up to $40 million of its own shares — a move aimed at boosting shares should the net asset value of its holdings fall below the company's market cap.

Buybacks have become an increasingly common tool among crypto-native public firms. AVAX One’s strategy mirrors that of other digital asset treasuries like BitMine and KindlyMD, which have faced similar pressures as their stock prices lag far behind the net asset values of their token holdings.

Pudgy Penguins: A New Blueprint for Tokenized Culture

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.

What to know:

Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.

The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.

Foreigner’s Lou Gramm Revisits The Band’s Classic ‘4’ Album, Now Reissued

The post Foreigner’s Lou Gramm Revisits The Band’s Classic ‘4’ Album, Now Reissued appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

(Photo by Paul Natkin/Getty Images) Getty Images Singer Lou Gramm has a vivid memory of recording the ballad “Waiting for a Girl Like You” at New York City’s Electric Lady Studio for his band Foreigner more than 40 years ago. Gramm was adding his vocals for the track in the control room on the other side of the glass when he noticed a beautiful woman walking through the door. “She sits on the sofa in front of the board,” he says. “She looked at me while I was singing. And every now and then, she had a little smile on her face. I’m not sure what that was, but it was driving me crazy. “And at the end of the song, when I’m singing the ad-libs and stuff like that, she gets up,” he continues. “She gives me a little smile and walks out of the room. And when the song ended, I would look up every now and then to see where Mick [Jones] and Mutt [Lange] were, and they were pushing buttons and turning knobs. They were not aware that she was even in the room. So when the song ended, I said, ‘Guys, who was that woman who walked in? She was beautiful.’ And they looked at each other, and they went, ‘What are you talking about? We didn’t see anything.’ But you know what? I think they put her up to it. Doesn’t that sound more like them?” “Waiting for a Girl Like You” became a massive hit in 1981 for Foreigner off their album 4, which peaked at number one on the Billboard chart for 10 weeks and…
