From 00:00 to 00:15 (UTC) on March 9, 2026, the AVAX price experienced a rapid surge, with a return of +0.76%. The price ranged between 8.815 and 8.885 USDT, with an amplitude of 0.79%. At the same time, trading volume significantly increased during this period, market volatility intensified, short-term trading became active, and market attention was heightened. The main driver of this anomaly was the ongoing fermentation of the news announced by Avalanche on March 8, about a liquidity staking partnership with a well-known DeFi protocol. The market

Based on artificial intelligence agents and the Solana ecosystem, the Meme coin Pippin (PIPPIN) is becoming one of the few altcoins to maintain a bullish weekly structure in recent times. Even amid Bitcoin falling below $100,000 and briefly dropping to $80,600, PIPPIN remains relatively strong. On February 8, the token surged 50.40% in a single day, with trading volume increasing simultaneously, indicating that market attention continues to heat up. The current rally can be traced back to the support zone of $0.157 in early December. Subsequently, the price steadily rose, maintaining a pattern of higher lows and higher highs through multiple pullbacks. Although AMBCrypto pointed out that some savvy investors have begun to take profits in stages, the selling pressure is more of a healthy correction and has not broken the medium-term trend.

Multiple cryptocurrencies will experience large token unlocks this week, including ME, MOVE, APT, and others. The specific unlock times and amounts are as follows: ME 1.48 million, MOVE 164 million, APT 11.31 million, and more, with a total value of several million dollars, accounting for varying portions of the circulating supply.

Token Unlocks data shows that tokens such as CONX, AVAX, and APT will undergo large unlocks next week, with unlock amounts accounting for 1.56%, 0.32%, and 0.69% of their circulating supply respectively, totaling approximately $44.4 million. Notably, Starknet and Movement have higher unlock ratios, with the former at 4.61%.

Although the overall cryptocurrency market weakened in January, risk appetite gradually recovered after entering February. Avalanche still demonstrated strong resilience, especially in the real-world assets (RWA) tokenization sector with impressive performance. Data shows that as of February 3rd, AVAX's development activity ranked third in the industry, only behind Hedera (HBAR) and Chainlink (LINK), with ecosystem construction continuing to accelerate. Supported by BlackRock and FIS, on-chain tokenized assets on Avalanche grew by 68.6% year-over-year in Q4 2025, with TVL reaching $1.3 billion. RWAs are becoming a mainstream investment focus, which also caused a rapid increase in related search terms such as “AVAX RWA Tokenization” and “Avalanche On-Chain Assets.”

Despite the weak AVAX price, the total locked value of tokenized assets on Avalanche surged by 68.6% in Q4 2025, increasing by nearly 950% for the year to surpass $1.3 billion. This growth was driven by BlackRock's BUIDL Fund and FIS's tokenized lending business partnership.

January 28 News, at the beginning of 2026, the cryptocurrency market sentiment remains subdued, with some altcoins under particular pressure. VanEck's launched US spot Avalanche (AVAX) ETF had a lackluster first day, recording no net fund inflow, with a total trading volume of only about $330,000 throughout the day, sparking discussions about the actual demand for altcoin ETFs. In contrast, the debut of other similar products formed a stark contrast. Bitwise's Solana-related ETF, launched at the end of October last year, still attracted approximately $69 million in fund inflows despite market volatility, with a trading volume close to $58 million. In mid-November, Canary Capital's first XRP spot ETF attracted about $245 million on its first day, and Grayscale's LINK ETF also received around $41 million in funding. By comparison, the "zero inflow" of the AVAX ETF appears particularly glaring.

January 27 News, the United States' first spot Avalanche-related ETF officially debuted this week, but market reactions were notably lukewarm. The Avalanche ETF launched by VanEck on its first day on January 26 did not record any net inflow, a result that quickly drew widespread attention from the crypto and Wall Street investment circles, and is seen as a microcosm of the current risk appetite cooling. Data shows that the product's first-day trading volume was approximately $334,000, with total assets around $2.41 million, but there was no substantial increase in funds. Even though the issuer offered a fee waiver policy until February 28, 2026, or until the scale reached $500 million, investors still chose to wait and see. This reflects that in the context of ongoing global macro uncertainties, even newly launched crypto investment tools find it difficult to quickly attract significant allocation funds.
