Alphaton Files $420.69m Registration as Tiny Ton Treasury Eyes AI Push

Small-cap publicly traded firm AlphaTON Capital has signaled ambitions to access a substantially larger fundraising capacity as it delves deeper into the artificial intelligence and Telegram ecosystem. 

The company has exited the SEC’s “baby-shelf” limitations and filed a $420.69 million shelf registration, a precise figure often referenced in crypto’s meme culture. The rules limit the amount of capital that very small public companies can raise through a shelf registration. This aims to prevent tiny issuers from flooding the market with stock and heavily diluting investors.

According to Google Finance data, AlphaTON capital stock, ATON, suffered significant losses in the last month. The stock dropped from $4.75 on Nov. 5 to $1.71 at the time of writing. This marked a 64% drop in a single month. 

At the time of writing, the company has a market capitalization of $13 million and an average volume of $1.55 million. However, the company holds over 12.8 million Toncoin (TON) tokens, worth about $20.5 million, according to CoinGecko.

Small company with big fundraising ambitions

AlphaTON’s filing stands out because the company remains a tiny public issuer with a relatively limited float. Still, it’s positioning itself to raise more than $420 million, a figure more commonly seen with mid-cap tech companies rather than nano- to micro-cap blockchain treasuries. 

While exiting baby-shelf limits allows it to legally pursue much larger offerings, this does not guarantee execution. Raising such an amount would likely require sustained demand or institutional interest. 

If the company manages to raise its capital from the program, it said it will direct funds toward scaling GPU infrastructure for Telegram’s Cocoom AI network and pursuing acquisitions of revenue-generating Telegram ecosystem applications. It also said that it would purchase additional TON tokens for its treasury. 

For shareholders, the obvious upside is that a successful raise could accelerate the company’s push into TON-aligned AI infrastructure. Even the announcement itself was followed by a brief increase in the company’s shares. 

According to Google Finance, ATON stock rose from a low of $1.49 on Thursday to its $1.71 price a day after the announcement. This marked a 14.7% increase following the company’s announcement of its ambitions.

DATs lose momentum in November

The timing of AlphaTON’s push for a large capital program coincides with the digital asset treasury (DAT) sector’s recent loss of momentum. 

Corporate crypto balance-sheet allocations saw their weakest month of 2025 in November, with inflows dropping to $1.32 billion. Bitcoin (BTC) treasuries dominated inflows during the month, but many Ether (ETH)-linked DATs slipped into outflows.

Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO

Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO

The post Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Aave DAO is gearing up for a significant overhaul by shutting down over 50% of underperforming L2 instances. It is also restructuring its governance framework and deploying over $100 million to boost GHO. This could be a pivotal moment that propels Aave back to the forefront of on-chain lending or sparks unprecedented controversy within the DeFi community. Sponsored Sponsored ACI Proposes Shutting Down 50% of L2s The “State of the Union” report by the Aave Chan Initiative (ACI) paints a candid picture. After a turbulent period in the DeFi market and internal challenges, Aave (AAVE) now leads in key metrics: TVL, revenue, market share, and borrowing volume. Aave’s annual revenue of $130 million surpasses the combined cash reserves of its competitors. Tokenomics improvements and the AAVE token buyback program have also contributed to the ecosystem’s growth. Aave global metrics. Source: Aave However, the ACI’s report also highlights several pain points. First, regarding the Layer-2 (L2) strategy. While Aave’s L2 strategy was once a key driver of success, it is no longer fit for purpose. Over half of Aave’s instances on L2s and alt-L1s are not economically viable. Based on year-to-date data, over 86.6% of Aave’s revenue comes from the mainnet, indicating that everything else is a side quest. On this basis, ACI proposes closing underperforming networks. The DAO should invest in key networks with significant differentiators. Second, ACI is pushing for a complete overhaul of the “friendly fork” framework, as most have been unimpressive regarding TVL and revenue. In some cases, attackers have exploited them to Aave’s detriment, as seen with Spark. Sponsored Sponsored “The friendly fork model had a good intention but bad execution where the DAO was too friendly towards these forks, allowing the DAO only little upside,” the report states. Third, the instance model, once a smart…
