M2 Capital invests 21 million dollars in AVAX One: a new era for digital assets in MENA

M2 Capital Limited, the proprietary investment arm of M2 Group, a conglomerate based in the United Arab Emirates and a leader in digital asset solutions, has announced a strategic investment of 21 million dollars in AVAX One Digital Asset Treasury (DAT), a Nasdaq-listed company entirely focused on AVAX, the native token of the Avalanche ecosystem.

This operation represents a decisive step in M2 Capital’s long-term strategy, aimed at connecting global blockchain innovation with the growing demand for regulated digital assets in the MENA region (Middle East and North Africa).

AVAX One: the first treasury listed on Nasdaq dedicated to AVAX

On September 22, 2025, AgriFORCE Growing Systems (Nasdaq: AGRI) announced its name change to AVAX One, thus becoming the first treasury company listed on Nasdaq with the goal of maximizing AVAX ownership per share. The operation was supported by a PIPE financing round led by Hivemind Capital, which also involved M2 Capital and Cypher Capital as co-investors. The new financial vehicle aims to raise approximately 300 million dollars, divided between capital and contributions in AVAX tokens, and aims to start with over 420 million dollars in AVAX on its balance sheet.

M2 Capital: regional expertise and global vision

M2 Capital leverages its regional expertise, market access, and deep understanding of institutional adoption trends. The company is committed to actively collaborating with other investors and ecosystem partners to promote the accumulation of AVAX, strengthen network security, and stimulate new adoption opportunities for Avalanche.

James Greenwood, CEO of M2 Capital, stated:  

“The architecture of Avalanche was designed for the next era of blockchain solutions, and AVAX represents its central economic engine. Our participation in this treasury testifies to our belief in the Avalanche ecosystem and our commitment to supporting its growth and adoption, both locally and globally.”

Matt Zhang, founder of Hivemind Capital and designated chairman of the AVAX One board, added:  

“We are grateful to M2 Capital for their support as we continue to grow the institutional presence of Avalanche. The variety and depth of participation we have encountered reflects the industry’s recognition of Avalanche as a leading platform for onchain finance and reinforces the role of AVAX One as a regulated gateway to this future.”

Avalanche: a high-performance blockchain for global finance

Avalanche stands out as a high-speed, institutional-grade blockchain, designed to be a fundamental settlement layer for the global finance of the future. Its native token, AVAX, consistently ranks among the top 15 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, with a value of nearly 12 billion dollars and a **Total Value Locked (TVL)** exceeding 4 billion dollars on the network. These figures highlight the maturity and scale achieved by AVAX in the digital asset landscape, making it a solid foundation for a professionally managed treasury.

M2 Capital: a growth strategy through partnerships and innovation

The investment in the AVAX Digital Asset Treasury is part of a series of strategic initiatives by M2 Capital aimed at promoting the adoption of institutional-level blockchain infrastructures. In July 2025, M2 Capital participated alongside other investors and infrastructure partners in supporting the Sui Foundation and the Nasdaq-listed company SUI Group Holdings Ltd. (formerly Mill City Ventures III, Ltd.), through a PIPE investment for the creation of a dedicated treasury for Sui. More recently, at the beginning of October, M2 Capital invested 20 million dollars in Ethena ($ENA), strengthening its presence through a strategic partnership.

M2 Group: solidity, regulation, and international vision

M2 Group is a private entity supported by institutional shareholders with deep roots in the innovation economy of the United Arab Emirates, ensuring a long-term regional alignment and strategic access to markets. The group operates through regulated entities such as M2 Custody Limited (M2CL), authorized by the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) in the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), and M2 Global Wealth Limited (M2GW), authorized by the Securities Commission of the Bahamas (SCB).

The affiliates of M2 Group offer clients institutional custody services, tailored yield strategies, digital asset financing, and OTC liquidity, all guided by solid governance and international standards.

A bridge between global innovation and regional demand

M2 Capital’s investment in AVAX One represents much more than a simple financial operation: it marks the intention to create a bridge between global blockchain innovation and the growing demand for regulated digital assets in the MENA region. Thanks to its strategic position, deep market knowledge, and ability to collaborate with leading partners, M2 Capital confirms itself as a key player in building a secure, regulated, and forward-looking digital ecosystem.
