A promising week for Avalanche
Apart from this, Avalanche announced another major update. The blockchain has officially confirmed that it would support the stablecoin USP created by Platypus DeFi. The stablecoin rollout will increase the Avalanche network’s offerings, which will probably increase demand for AVAX in the coming months.
Last week was also optimistic for AVAX on the price front, as its price went up substantially. As per CoinMarketCap, AVAX registered more than 35% weekly gains, and at the time of writing, it was trading at $16.88 with a market capitalization of over $5.2 billion.
Realistic or not, here’s AVAX’s market cap in BTC’s terms
Metrics at play
While AVAX’s price action gave investors hope for better days ahead, a few of the metrics did not support that possibility. AVAX’s development activity decreased in the last week, which was a negative sign because it reflects fewer efforts from developers to improve the blockchain.
AVAX’s popularity also decreased as its social volume went down over the last week. However, AVAX remained in demand in the futures market, as its Binance and DyDx Funding Rates remained relatively high.
