What's Going On With AVAX? Avalanche Bucks Crypto Pullback, Maintains Upward Momentum On Monday

Zinger Key Points
  • Avalanche (AVAX) outperforms in crypto, rising 76% in a week amid inflows.
  • AVAX gains momentum with JPMorgan's asset tokenization tests, $275 million for validators.

Despite the broader crypto market seeing a downturn on Monday, Avalanche AVAX/USD emerged as the highest gainer in the top 20 cryptocurrencies, up over 6% in the past 24 hours.

Avax is up over 76% in the past 7 days, which is the highest reported gain among the top 20 cryptocurrencies for the past week. 

What Happened: Based on Coinshares data, digital asset investment products recorded their 11th consecutive week of inflows with $43 million. The digital asset manager highlighted that “Solana SOL/USD and Avalanche saw inflows of $3 million and $2 million respectively, remaining firm favorites in the altcoin space.”

Meanwhile, Crypto Analyst, Jacob Canfield, took to his X handle on Dec. 6 to share his bullish take on AVAX. “I think this will be a big winner in the coming weeks. It's got a great narrative with GameFi right now,” he tweeted.

Notably, data from IntoTheBlock highlighted transactions greater than $100,000 stood at $1.12 billion in the past 7-day period. On Dec. 6, the AVAX token witnessed almost 1000 transactions which were bigger than $100,000.

Why Does It Matter: The Block quoted CoinShares analyst Max Shannon, saying, “In November, JPMorgan and Apollo also announced news that Avalanche would be used to test real-world asset tokenization, which is likely supportive of price action.”

AVAX was recently listed by Coincheck highlighting the token’s progress. Also, Avalanche allocated more than $275 million, as of Dec. 7, in AVAX for rewarding its validators in the past year, CCN reported.

Meanwhile, AVAX generated only $11.5 million in user fees. This highlights the community’s efforts to preserve a strong and decentralized network infrastructure.
