Avalanche DeFi TVL Breaks New Ground
Avalanche’s DeFi activity is picking up fast. Between March and mid-July, its total value locked (TVL) hovered around $100–200 million. But by late September, it surged past $1 billion. This sharp rise shows growing adoption, fresh capital inflows, and strong momentum across Avalanche-based DeFi projects.
With more liquidity coming in, Avalanche is quickly becoming one of the top players in the DeFi space.Its growth shows a strong and maturing ecosystem, supported by fresh innovation, more active users, and attractive rewards.
Whale Activity Fuel Momentum
Whales are returning to Avalanche in a big way. One prominent trader has gone 5x long on over $17 million worth of AVAX, already sitting on nearly $1 million in unrealized profits. Another well-known crypto advisor entered with a 10x leveraged long position worth $2.2 million, signaling strong conviction.
AVAX futures trading is booming, with $4.11 billion in volume over 24 hours—far higher than the $525 million seen in spot markets. Open interest is strong at $1.79 billion, showing high trader confidence and solid liquidity.
AVAX is still holding above the key $32–$34 support zone.Analysts are now watching the $37 level as the next resistance. A breakout could push AVAX toward $40, and possibly up to $50 in the near term.
Institutional Support Solidifies Avalanche’s Future
The biggest catalyst driving Avalanche’s momentum is institutional backing. AgriFORCE Growing Systems rebranded as AVAX One, becoming the first Nasdaq-listed firm centered on Avalanche.
The company plans to raise $550 million through PIPE financing and equity-linked products, aiming to accumulate over $700 million in AVAX tokens.On-chain data reinforces this narrative. Net inflows hit $3.26 million on September 23, indicating renewed buying interest.
The growing role of Avalanche in tokenization—already tested by institutions such as Apollo and JPMorgan—adds fundamental strength. ETF filings and treasury accumulation through AVAX One are reducing circulating supply, pointing toward a robust long-term outlook.
