Across Protocol Proposes Transition from DAO to U.S. Corporation, Token Holders Can Exchange for Equity
Cross-chain bridge protocol Across Protocol has proposed transitioning from a DAO structure to a U.S. C-Corporation named AcrossCo. ACX token holders are offered two options: a 1:1 swap for equity in the new company or a token buyback at a 25% premium to the 30-day average price in USDC. The team cited the current DAO model as a bottleneck for institutional partnerships, which require enforceable contracts and a clear legal entity. The proposal, which requires a simple majority vote, follows $51 million in funding, including a round led by Paradigm. The announcement caused ACX's price to surge approximately 70%. The underlying protocol will continue to operate permissionlessly.
