Key Insights: AVAX price fell despite Goldman Sachs bringing its roughly $100 billion Treasury fund into Avalanche-based institutional infrastructure through Lynq. Lynq is a private, permissi
The AVAX price fell on September 28 even as Avalanche gained a new connection to one of Wall Street’s largest money-market products, with Goldman Sachs making its roughly $100 billion FTIXX Treasury fund available to institutional crypto firms through Lynq.
TradingView data showed AVAX trading at around $10.30 on September 28. Its price was down 5.56% from the previous close in that session’s data.
The contrast is instructive. The latest innovation goes beyond placing a traditional asset on a public blockchain. It embeds a conventional Wall Street product into workflows already used by digital-asset firms.
Goldman Sachs’ FTIXX, a Treasury fund with roughly $100 billion in assets, is being offered through Lynq, a settlement network designed for institutional digital-asset firms.
The fund remains a traditional financial product. It is not being converted into a tokenized asset. FTIXX is the inaugural external fund available on Lynq. Trades will be executed by SEC-registered broker-dealer tZERO Securities.
Eligible customers will be able to deposit cash into the Treasury fund between trades and withdraw it when needed.

But this sets the scene for the story around the AVAX price in an unusual way. The headline mentions Goldman Sachs and a $100 billion fund, but the immediate blockchain connection is actually beneath the financial product rather than within it.
Lynq itself runs on a private, permissioned Avalanche Layer 1. According to the company, more than 30 institutional digital-asset firms are onboarded, with more than $89 million in assets on the network.
The companies named among its users include B2C2, Wintermute, Galaxy, FalconX, Crypto.com, and Fireblocks.
The Avalanche price is being watched against a run of institutional developments on the network. On September 22, Midas launched mWIN and mGLOBAL on Avalanche, linking tokenized investment strategies to Wellington Management and Fasanara Capital.
Wellington oversees more than $1.3 trillion, while Fasanara manages about $6 billion. The reported figures refer to the managers’ overall assets, not amounts transferred onto Avalanche. Avalanche was also reported to have more than $2 billion in tokenized assets on the network.
Previously, New York Life Investment Management launched what it has defined as Avalanche’s first major tokenized fund. The company manages over $800 billion in assets. It has announced another significant development for the ecosystem. A new Paxos integration will facilitate institutional adoption of native USDC.
Against this background, the recent sell-off in the price of AVAX cannot be said to overshadow the development in institutional adoption on the network. Rather, it appears that the two trends are independent and that the token’s price movement reflects only the market’s price discovery mechanism.
The value of AVAX was close to $11.27 on September 20, with open interest at about $539.61 million. Technical projection by analyst Javon Marks targets $126.03 for the token’s value, although this level has not been officially confirmed.

The latest AVAX price data, therefore, follows a month in which Avalanche’s institutional narrative has expanded across tokenized funds, payment infrastructure, and private blockchain deployments.
For the AVAX price, the importance of the Goldman Sachs development lies in the plumbing. Wall Street capital does not need to become a crypto-native asset to interact with digital-asset infrastructure.
