Avalanche To Play Big Role In Tokenization

The recent registration for Avalanche ETF is not just another filing from VanEck, but instead a well-thought-out move. The blockchain network is making strong progress in the world of tokenization. Avalanche is already working with some of the big players in the financial industry, such as  JPMorgan and Mastercard, working on factors like portfolio management, etc.

Furthermore, JPMorgan has been working to integrate its Onyx platform with a permissioned Avalanche Evergreen Subnet. Avalanche Evergreen Subnets are custom-designed blockchains tailored for institutional use, offering EVM compatibility, network privacy, customizable gas structures, and permissioning across validation, smart contract deployment, and transaction processes.

Amid developments surrounding the AVAX ETF, the AVAX Price bounced back from the lows of $15 earlier today, and has regained $17 levels as of press time.

Will AVAX Price Rally Continue?

Following today’s crypto market crash, the AVAX price has been showing some recovery, bouncing back partially from the lows of $15 earlier today. The daily trading volume for Avalanche has shot up by 97% to more than $715 million, while the open interest has dropped by 8% to $294 million. As per the Coinglass data, the 24-hour liquidations have also soared to $4.43 million.

If VanEck makes a quick move in filing for a spot Avalanche ETF, it could trigger an overall bullish sentiment for the altcoin. On March 7, 2025, financial analyst Miles Deutscher highlighted a notable increase in monthly new users on the Avalanche blockchain during Q1 2025 (Source: X post by Miles Deutscher). According to the data, Avalanche saw a 120% rise in new users from January to March, culminating in a peak of 45,000 new users in March.

The current Bitcoin price correction could continue to weigh over the overall crypto market. Analysts are keeping a close watch on the macro indicators awaiting the release of US CPI data this week.
