Avalanche raises $12M in private token sale led by Initialized, Galaxy, Bitmain, NGC and Dragonfly Capital

The team behind Avalanche, the highly-scalable, open-source platform for launching decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, has announced that Galaxy Digital, Bitmain, Initialized Capital, NGC Ventures, Dragonfly Capital, and other individuals have participated in a $12M private sale of its tokens.

The sale’s closing follows the success of Avalanche’s Denali Testnet, which had over 1,000 full block producing nodes actively staking and participating in the consensus protocol.

“We have purposefully and deliberately established our entire project, structure, and token distribution to deliver fair and open access to the Avalanche network,” says John Wu, President of AVA Labs. “We’re excited to have private sale participants that are committed to supporting Avalanche, and building an internet of finance-driven by, and for, its community.”

“For decentralized finance to reach its potential, there must be significant improvements to both the volume and velocity of activity networks can process. Avalanche is achieving both through its innovative approach to consensus and deep understanding of how to build highly-performant networks,” says Roger Lim, Founding Partner at NGC Ventures

“Avalanche is solving the biggest challenges in blockchain technology, and is poised to launch a resilient system that is fast, secure, and efficient,” says Haseeb Qureshi, Managing Partner at Dragonfly Capital.

Avalanche Foundation Limited, the foundation behind the Avalanche network, and its affiliates will soon be conducting a public sale pursuant to Reg. D Rule 506(c) of the Securities Act of 1933 as an exempt offering and pursuant to the safe harbor under Regulation S of the Securities Act. All investors must be “accredited investors” as defined under Rule 501 of Regulation D or must not be a “U.S. Person” as defined by Regulation S under the Securities Act and meet other suitability standards.

Accredited investors will be required to verify their accredited status in compliance with Rule 506(c). For non-US Persons, participation may be limited to qualified investors or similar designation, as defined by such investors’ country or region.
