The post Forward Industries Launches $4B ATM Offering to Expand Solana Treasury appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Forward Industries (FORD), a publicly-traded design and manufacturing firm that’s building out a solana SOL$198.37 treasury, has filed a $4 billion at-the-market (ATM) equity offering program with the SEC. The company will use any funds raised for working capital, business expansion and to bolster its SOL holdings, according to an announcement on Wednesday. The offering gives Forward a flexible way to sell new shares incrementally through Cantor Fitzgerald, the program’s designated agent. This step comes just weeks after Forward completed what it says was the largest Solana-focused treasury raise to date. The company has already acquired over 6.8 million SOL on the back of a $1.65 billion deal to build the crypto treasury. Kyle Samani, Forward’s chairman, called the ATM offering “a flexible and efficient mechanism” to scale the company’s crypto strategy and strengthen its balance sheet. The firm is looking to maximize its SOL-per-share through active treasury management. Data from CoinGecko shows Forward Industries has the largest solana treasury among publicly traded firms, with the runner-up being DeFi Development Corp’s 2.02 million SOL treasury. Forward’s share price fell over 9.5% in early trading to $33.70 on Wednesday.

Privacy is ‘Constant Battle’ Between Blockchain Stakeholders and State

Blockchain industry participants and regulators continue wrangling over privacy rights as the European Union’s sweeping Anti-Money Laundering (AML) rules look set to ban privacy-preserving tokens and anonymous crypto accounts starting in 2027. Credit institutions, financial institutions and crypto asset service providers (CASPs) will be prohibited from maintaining anonymous accounts or handling privacy-preserving cryptocurrencies under the EU’s new Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (AMLR) that will go into effect in 2027, Cointelegraph reported in May.

They want to understand who the parties are that transact among themselves,” said Blaj, speaking during Cointelegraph’s daily live X spaces show on Sept. 3. “[The state] wants to understand that to be able to prevent whatever crime and scamming is happening, and we want to enforce the policies that we create as a society.” Her comments came as the EU ramped up its regulatory oversight of the crypto industry, building on the bloc’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA).

Policymaking is a “continuous conversation,” meaning that “nothing is set in stone, even if the regulation is already out,” said Blaj. “There are still ways to either talk to the regulators, see how it’s going to play out, how it’s going to be enforced.” While there’s always room for negotiations with policymakers, the regulation concerning privacy-preserving cryptocurrencies and accounts is becoming “more…
