Crypto, tech, markets, building what’s next.

[Simone @Simonez8hy]

Something BIG may be forming around NYSE and Avalanche. 🔺

Here’s the simple timeline:

Jan 19 — @NYSE
Announces a new platform for tokenized US stocks & ETFs:

• 24/7 trading
• On-chain settlement
• Stablecoin funding
• Support for multiple blockchains

Mar 24 — @Securitize
Selected to help NYSE issue and manage tokenized stocks.

Aug 31 — @tZERO
Selected to help build the regulated infrastructure needed for on-chain settlement.

Sep 16–17 — @avax Avalanche Summit 🔺
@AvalancheFDN says NYSE has spent roughly a year testing Avalanche technology and working on integration.

Then ICE executive Michael Blaugrund says on stage:

“Avalanche checks a lot of those boxes for us”

and confirms ICE is “very engaged” with the Avalanche team.

Sep 17 — SEC Introduces the “Innovation Exemption,” opening a regulatory path for certain tokenized US stocks to trade on-chain.

Sep 23 — @blockchain Announced as a distribution partner, potentially bringing NYSE’s tokenized stocks & ETFs to its 44M+ accounts.

Now look at what we have:
Trading → NYSE ✅
Tokenization → Securitize ✅
Regulated infrastructure → tZERO ✅
Regulatory path → SEC ✅
Distribution → Blockchain ✅

Blockchain infrastructure → still not publicly named!!!?

That last piece is why I’m so excited about Avalanche!

If Avalanche ends up playing a major role here, this could become one of the biggest institutional blockchain adoption stories crypto has seen.

@ExcelBaller Avalanche didn't just win a deal. It proved it belongs at the very core of global financial infrastructure.

[Simone @Simonez8hy]

@durov Or be like @elonmusk require 25% stake and a massive "Ill leave attitude" if you bully me!

[Simone @Simonez8hy]

@ExcelBaller Love this! 2027 will be the year for Avax

[Simone @Simonez8hy]

@rostyketh Did I read the Poly tweet wrong or did you write Avax wrong?

[Simone @Simonez8hy]

@_xebat_ @RoyaltyOnChain @avax @NYSE @JohnNahas84 I think this is open information for anyone. Just ask ChatGPT

[Simone @Simonez8hy]

I'll say this with my head held high and nothing but pride: There are no more loyal @AVAX holder than me.

Almost seven years. Held every single token since the ICO. Never sold. Not one.

And today, @NYSE chose Avalanche

Let that sink in.

The world's most important stock exchange chose Avalanche.

A US-based team with Ivy League roots, years of relentless building, and now the strongest institutional endorsements imaginable.

No political hype. No empty promises. Just years of building and delivering.

Now think about what comes next.

If $NYSE trusts Avalanche, why wouldn't exchanges across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa take a serious look?

Traditional investors don't just look at today's revenue. They look at leadership, talent, execution, and future potential.

And Avalanche just demonstrated its credibility on the world stage.

Is #AVAX trading where we want it? No. Does institutional adoption still need to translate into stronger token value? Absolutely. And that work matters.

But today isn't about price.

It's about validation.

Some will call me crazy for never selling. I call it conviction.

Almost seven years later, I've never been prouder to hold AVAX.

And I genuinely believe this is just the beginning.

Congratulations to @el33th4xor @JohnNahas84 , and the entire team. You earned this moment.

@alexlmercer @slotER609 @irvine8989 Please share the contract since you already know

[Simone @Simonez8hy]

What truly amazes me is seeing people ask, “Did Avalanche pay for this?”

That question alone tells me they haven't done much research into the technology.

We're talking about the infrastructure behind the world's most important stock exchange. NYSE isn't going to compromise security, reliability, or its reputation because someone wrote a check.

They need technology they can trust, a team that can deliver, and infrastructure capable of supporting markets 24/7.

You don't buy that kind of trust. You earn it.

[Simone @Simonez8hy]

@TroyVarnon66224 @avax @NYSE What do you mean?

[Simone @Simonez8hy]

@el33th4xor This is why so many of us have been loyal for years! Keep up the good work.

[Simone @Simonez8hy]

That's a very fair question, and one worth asking. I know this is something being actively worked on. An NYSE deal would obviously bring economic value to the Avalanche ecosystem. Whether that translates into direct token accrual or revenue, I don't know. But even revenue flowing to the Foundation could indirectly benefit AVAX through token buybacks or reduced selling pressure.

[Simone @Simonez8hy]

@WarrenRoughIt @avax @NYSE Actually, Avax was at 144 dollars at the top. Can you calculate that for me. I'm no trader. Avax is a longterm investment for me.

@HoneyBear9k My man <3 🔺

[Simone @Simonez8hy]

@oxd_duo @Polymarket If you knew the tech you would never have made that comment <3 Love you!

[Simone @Simonez8hy]

@kademeta @Polymarket @avax If you knew the tech you would never make a tweet like this!

[Simone @Simonez8hy]

@TheMemestro @Polymarket The fun part is, you have no clue what tech Avalanche has. It just didn't fit your narrative.

[Simone @Simonez8hy]

@TedPillows Or @avax

[Simone @Simonez8hy]

@nobsfud The fun thing is, NYSE isn't the only big annoucement for this week. Enjoy the next few days <3

[Simone @Simonez8hy]

@ExcelBaller @HoneyBear9k

[Simone @Simonez8hy]

@bigordinal @HodeyKo @avax Good question. With everything coming to Avalanche....more burn i guess!

[Simone @Simonez8hy]

@nobsfud Love it! gnyse!
