BREAKING: $13T @CharlesSchwab adds AVAX to Schwab Crypto
Schwab Crypto clients can now trade AVAX, marking the platform’s first crypto expansion beyond Bitcoin & Ethereum.
An important milestone in bringing global financial markets onchain.
Avalanche technology will provide support for clearing infrastructure for the upcoming NYSE-affiliated tokenized securities platform.
The Avalanche Foundation looks forward to following the platform’s activity and its role in the wider Avalanche economy through its economic research agenda 🔺
$AVAX is going to be viewed as an entirely new asset class, somewhere between crypto and tech stocks, no longer just about crypto. Tokens are becoming the digital equivalent of software stocks: exposure to networks, infrastructure, tech and the ecosystems built on top of them
For decades, financial markets have operated on infrastructure designed around fixed trading hours and delayed settlement. There is no longer a technical reason for these constraints to exist.
When we designed Avalanche, we understood that bringing global financial markets onchain would have strong requirements. Institutions need networks they can configure to their own requirements, with the ability to achieve near-instant finality without giving up control over how those networks operate.
Now, Avalanche technology is set to power the core clearing ledger for an upcoming NYSE-affiliated tokenized securities platform.
It’s incredibly gratifying to see the ideas we spent years researching and engineering find their way into the infrastructure of global finance.
WSJ Exclusive: Avalanche (@avax) will provide the core ledger technology for the clearing firm on the NYSE-affiliated tokenized securities platform.
Subject to regulatory approvals, the platform is designed to support 24/7 trading, clearing and settlement for its subscribers.

A landmark step toward the next generation of global financial markets.
Se non finisco in carcere...
Sulla base di quanto emerso finora sulla stampa, a partire dal Corriere della Sera, Youssef Siher, l'ideatore della pagina Instagram "movimento 17 ottobre", ha commesso praticamente zero reati. Ho piena fiducia nella magistratura e nelle forze dell'ordine. Associo alla divisa solo cose positive, ed è possibile che tra un'ora escano notizie che al momento non possiedo. Tuttavia, alla data del 25 ottobre, anno del Signore 2026, alle ore 15:01, mentre scrivo questo post, la distanza tra la gravità delle accuse contro Youssef Siher e le condotte finora rese pubbliche è enorme. Sulla base di quanto pubblicato finora dal Corriere della Sera, Youssef Siher è uno dei tanti manifestanti onestissimi che hanno riempito le nostre piazze.
Oggi alle 18 parlerò al teatro di Vinci, Festival World in Progress.
Se non finisco in carcere per questo post a causa di un nuovo decreto insicurezza di Giorgia Meloni, il 6 novembre alle 18 presenterò il mio nuovo libro alla Feltrinelli di Lucca https://t.co/lQ5J0Bn5w9
Grayscale just opened in-kind subscriptions for its Avalanche Staking ETF.
The minimum?
About $235,800 in $AVAX, swapped straight into fund shares.
Ignore the bears. Listen to your heart.
$AVAX — Avalanche
ㅤ
Everyone is watching $ETH and $SOL compete for Layer 1 dominance.
ㅤ
But what if the real winner is the blockchain helping institutions build their own networks?
ㅤ
$AVAX is betting that customizable blockchains, tokenized assets, and institutional finance will become major parts of crypto's future.
ㅤ
Avalanche is a high-performance blockchain ecosystem designed for DeFi, payments, and independent Layer 1 networks.
ㅤ
Save this checklist:
ㅤ
-> Where the demand comes from
ㅤ
Traditional finance needs better infrastructure.
ㅤ
Tokenized securities.
Institutional payments.
Private credit.
Stablecoin settlement.
Custom blockchain networks.
Real-world assets.
ㅤ
Avalanche aims to connect these financial applications with blockchain technology.
ㅤ
-> Main narrative
ㅤ
Institutional Blockchain.
Real-World Assets.
Layer 1 Infrastructure.
Blockchain Tokenization.
DeFi Ecosystem.
ㅤ
-> The real advantage
ㅤ
Most Layer 1 networks compete to bring every application onto one blockchain.
ㅤ
Avalanche takes a different approach.
ㅤ
Projects can launch independent Layer 1 networks with customized rules.
ㅤ
Dedicated execution.
Custom gas tokens.
Flexible validator requirements.
Institutional compliance options.
EVM compatibility.
ㅤ
More applications.
More specialized networks.
More potential demand for blockchain infrastructure.
ㅤ
-> The Avalanche L1 angle
ㅤ
This is where things get interesting.
ㅤ
Avalanche9000 significantly reduced the cost of launching independent blockchains.
ㅤ
Instead of competing for limited blockspace, projects can operate their own networks.
ㅤ
Think:
ㅤ
Gaming ecosystems.
Institutional trading.
Tokenized securities.
Enterprise applications.
Private financial networks.
ㅤ
The opportunity is becoming infrastructure for companies that need specialized blockchains.
ㅤ
-> The institutional RWA angle
ㅤ
Avalanche is expanding into tokenized finance.
ㅤ
As of September 28, 2026:
ㅤ
$1.79B — Real-world asset TVL.
$950M — Stablecoin value.
1,255 — Distinct RWA assets.
ㅤ
These figures highlight growing activity in tokenized financial infrastructure.
ㅤ
But assets issued on Avalanche L1s do not necessarily create direct demand for AVAX.
ㅤ
That distinction matters.
ㅤ
-> The Helicon upgrade
ㅤ
On September 22, 2026, Avalanche activated its Helicon upgrade.
ㅤ
Continuous C-Chain execution.
Dynamic minimum gas pricing.
Automatic staking renewal.
Shorter minimum staking periods.
Updated validator economics.
ㅤ
The goal is improving network performance and making validation more flexible.
ㅤ
-> The AVAX tokenomics angle
ㅤ
Maximum supply: 720 million AVAX.
ㅤ
$AVAX supports:
ㅤ
Network transaction fees.
Validator staking.
Network security.
Ecosystem settlement.
ㅤ
Transaction fees on Avalanche's Primary Network are burned.
ㅤ
But new AVAX is also issued through staking rewards.
ㅤ
That means AVAX is not automatically deflationary.
ㅤ
The investment thesis depends on growing demand relative to new issuance.
ㅤ
-> Bull case
ㅤ
If institutions continue adopting tokenized assets and custom blockchain infrastructure, Avalanche could benefit.
ㅤ
More institutional networks.
More RWA activity.
More DeFi liquidity.
More ecosystem adoption.
ㅤ
Stronger AVAX utility could support long-term token demand.
ㅤ
-> Bear case
ㅤ
Competition + token value capture.
ㅤ
Ethereum Layer 2s and other Layer 1 platforms compete for developers.
ㅤ
Independent Avalanche L1s can use their own gas tokens.
ㅤ
And growing RWA activity does not automatically guarantee higher AVAX prices.
ㅤ
-> What to watch
ㅤ
New Avalanche L1 deployments.
RWA tokenization growth.
Institutional integrations.
Network transaction activity.
AVAX staking demand.
Transaction fee burns.
ㅤ
My view:
ㅤ
Narrative: 9/10
Utility: 9/10
Adoption: 8/10
Risk: Medium-High
Upside: High
ㅤ
Institutional finance.
Tokenized assets.
Custom blockchain infrastructure.
ㅤ
$AVAX is essentially a bet on a future where institutions and applications operate their own specialized blockchains.
ㅤ
If tokenized finance continues expanding, Avalanche could become increasingly important.
ㅤ
But the real question is how much of that ecosystem growth translates into sustainable demand for AVAX.
ㅤ
Save this for your Layer 1 / RWA watchlist.
ㅤ
Which has more upside in the next cycle: $AVAX, $SOL, or $ETH?

The debate on the threat AI poses for crypto is mostly just wankery.
We will see AI exploit systems-level bugs far before ECDSA falls. We will see AI discover bugs in systems code, libraries and wallets that enable attackers to steal billions of dollars long before we have to worry about cryptosystems failing wholesale due to new math.
Sure, there's definitely a non-zero possibility that ECDSA might fail wholesale, and the ramifications would be systemic -- all balances on such a chain would be in question. That's why Hoseeb's backup crypto proposal is sensible. Namely, build an alternative cryptosystem onto which one could shift should ECDSA doomsday arrive one fine morning. That's an approach that we will be exploring for Avalanche.
But our focus regarding AI's impact on blockchains ought to center on vulnerabilities in existing software first and foremost. If you think that, say, Ripple's (or insert any other high value low use chain here) under scrutinized code contains no 0-day bugs, difficult for humans to spot but easy for AI to identify, then you're deluded.
My take on this issue, as with all other issues, is pragmatic and oriented towards what matters most today. That said, in the tail risk category, hash-based crypto is really interesting, and we have an active group exploring hash-based alternatives to ECDSA.
It appears that AI is now beginning to accelerate math discovery exponentially (and if not, it’s logically probable that it will soon).
Much of the modern world is built upon the assumption that new math innovations are slowly discovered and responsibly disclosed when relevant. This may soon no longer be the case.
@realDonaldTrump your executive order 14412 was put in place to secure critical systems against cryptography failure under the assumed risk of quantum computing breaking legacy cryptography. Because of this, deadlines were set by NIST even as far out as 2035 for some systems and entities.
Quantum computing innovations are not the only issue that we need to be concerned with—
—new math innovations are now as well (in ways that weren’t fully recognized, at the time this EO was being discussed)
Heavily used cryptography protocols could be weakened sooner than would have been projected 2 months ago.
NIST may be miscalculating their urgency, because this was assessed with priors that have now become out of date.
For example: just a little over a month ago, an ai system discovered a significant attack vector on HAWK (a post-quantum cryptography protocol candidate). This discovery was based on novel mathematical insights. This protocol has been heavily reviewed by top cryptography experts for years, and Ai found a flaw that halved its strength in an instant.
A series of mathematical breakthroughs could soon impact these timelines. (Note: exponentially increasing advancements in math not only speed up cryptography attack vector risks, but also speed up quantum computing advancements, too)
Unlike at the time of your EO, SOTA Ai systems are now frequently toppling hard math problems that have withstood our world’s top mathematicians for decades. This is currently being done with relatively little compute, compared to the amount of compute that a foreign adversary could strategically dispose at this, if desired—
—if one frontier systems can crack decades-old hard math problems in a day, what happens when system-coordination-innovations allow a nationstate to parallel scale that effort 100,000x, or when we are 6 months further down the ai exponential curve, or both?
I urge you to consider a reconvening of this matter, to see if an amendment is in order.
————————————————
These are unknown risks, which impact unknown targets, and occur on unknown timelines, that consistently exceed experts expectations…
Because of that, the real solution here is not to make an unprecedented effort to switch every system to newer cryptography protocols, which may also become at risk of failure as advancements continue to accelerate—
—but rather, to implement a proper system that allows for rapid instant cryptography protocol upgrades forever into the future.
Otherwise, this effort will have to be painstakingly repeated again, and again; and probably sooner than we suspect.
If it were up to me, I would make such a system hybrid-airgapped; such that remote lockdown is possible, while protocol upgrades must then be done on-site (otherwise the emergency upgrade system itself is prone to this risk and becomes a single point of failure for the whole nation).
[Note: our satellites are a special edge case to such a protocol]
————————————————
1) Timelines should now be recalculated and probably moved up, much has changed since when these meetings were had earlier this year.
2) Rapid crypto-agility must become mandatory for our most critical systems. This is critical and needs to be taken seriously. The current EO does not enforce this much at all. We need to be able to secure these systems in seconds, not months.
May God protect America 🇺🇸
L’intimidazione della Ronzulli è solo la ciliegina sulla torta. Ormai siamo alla farsa di un partito di neofascisti che chiede a gente perbene di fare un passo indietro perché se lo facesse in avanti si potrebbero scoprire altarini da tenere ben nascosti.
Bentornati al 1926.
Per chi non è riuscito a vederlo al cinema, il 10 ottobre fanno vedere il film NAZA in televisione su Rai Storia e si potrà vedere anche su RaiPlay. Ottima notizia!
Immagina un attentato su un aereo durante un volo internazionale con tutta una narrazione di terroristi cattivi ed eroi buoni, una storia di coltelli, colluttazioni ad alta quota e gesti che salvano dall’impatto all’ultimo secondo, e il mondo intero che ormai sa che qualsiasi cosa che racconti è meno credibile di una truffa in televendita, e nessuno ti si fila di pezza tanto non è che ci stava Denzel Washington sull’aereo per dire.
Intanto il film che hai fatto di tutto per denigrare e criminalizzare ancora prima che venisse proiettato è primo al Box Office e supera persino i grandi blockbuster.
Certe giorni mi torna una prudente speranza che possa infine trionfare il principio di realtà.
As a pilot for 20 years I have questions:
- where are the cabin crew here?
- where are the oxygen masks that automatically drop during a rapid emergency descent?
- how did the Capt manage to open the door while being stabbed?
- Omani pilots were not allowed to fly to Israel, why was he allowed?
- how did the offending pilot get a weapon onboard?
- why has this happened so close to elections?
- how are passengers walking around while apparently in a nosedive?
- who else was injured? Nose dives cause significant g force incidents
- why is there two perfectly positioned people recording the incident and not helping?
- why did a plumber take control and not the 2 pilots onboard who would certainly know when an aircraft was in a nosedive?
- why was the plumber speaking in English to Bibi after the flight
- why was he still in his blood soaked clothes 8 hours after the incident
False Flags have been a very effective mechanism to influence public opinion
Hitler burnt down the Reichstag just before his parliament elections and he won the election…changing the course of history.
A full and independent investigation should be carried out here.
Hopefully independent journalist will be allowed to view this too.
