Everything is getting tokenized.
At Avalanche Summit, @bretttejpaul of @CoinbaseInsto will bring the institutional playbook: what major firms are building, what clients are asking for, and what comes next.
Tickets: https://t.co/Q6Vj9cKMZl
Brett Tejpaul is Co-CEO of Coinbase Institutional, where he helps build trusted crypto infrastructure for institutions expanding their digital asset strategies.
Before Coinbase, Brett held senior leadership roles at Barclays and JP Morgan, giving him a front-row view into how traditional finance thinks about markets, custody, trading, and client access.
At Summit, hear why the next phase of institutional crypto is about more than exposure: it is about the platforms, products, and infrastructure that let major players actually participate.

According to @Cointelegraph, monthly transactions on AVAX C-Chain are up over 6X since June 2025.
These are the kind of details that detractors never seem to mention. As more institutions demand enterprise grade infrastructure, the growth will only continue from here.

We are funding original research on tokenomics, validator economics, and network security - with grants of up to $50,000 available.
Could $AVAX Ever Recover and Reclaim Its Previous ATH?
this is probably one of the biggest questions people are asking right now.
Could AVAX ever go back to $144?
Honestly, I think a lot of people are looking at the chart first, when they should be looking underneath it.
one thing I've learned after being in this space for years is, price eventually follows fundamentals. not the other way around.
the strongest tokens in this industry didn't become valuable because people kept buying them every day. they became valuable because their ecosystems kept growing, more builders showed up, better products were launched, communities kept expanding, and eventually the token started reflecting all of that.
that's why I always pay more attention to what's happening behind the scenes than what's happening on TradingView.
We've seen this movie before.
years ago, almost every major project people respect today went through its own ugly phase. Ethereum was constantly criticized for high fees and scaling issues. Solana went from over $250 to single digits after the FTX collapse and people couldn't stop calling it dead. BNB was dismissed by many as just an exchange coin.
The FUD was everywhere.
the difference is, those teams didn't stop because people on CT lost confidence. they kept building through the noise, kept improving the tech, kept growing the ecosystem, and eventually the market caught up.
that's exactly why I still pay attention to Avalanche today.
not because the price has been exciting.
It hasn't.
but because when I look beyond the chart, I keep seeing reasons to stay optimistic.
Businesses are choosing Avalanche.
Institutions are building on it.
Developers are still shipping.
Builders are still showing up.
the ecosystem keeps expanding with real world use cases, not just hype. from FIFA to payments, RWAs, institutional finance and enterprise adoption, we're already seeing that story unfold.
then there's the part I think many people are overlooking.
The @AvalancheFDN already knows tokenomics need to improve. that's why they're actively working on value accrual, validator incentives, staking economics, token burn, and long term sustainability. they're not pretending everything is perfect. they're working on making it better.
that's what gives me confidence
and soon we'll start seeing more from the developer side of the ecosystem as well. the builders never stopped. now it's about connecting all of that progress back to the token itself.
does this guarantee that AVAX goes straight back to $144?
No.
nobody can honestly say that.
but if fundamentals still matter in this industry, I struggle to find many ecosystems that have what Avalanche already has.
Technology.
Builders.
Institutions.
Real businesses.
Enterprise adoption.
A community that has survived one of the hardest periods in crypto.
to me, that's the foundation of a long term winner.
maybe months. maybe another year. maybe longer.
Markets move on their own timeline.
but I don't think @avax is missing the fundamentals needed for another major run. if anything, it already has most of them.
what it needs now is for all of that progress to translate into stronger demand for the token. and from everything I'm seeing, that's exactly the direction the Foundation is pushing toward.
So could AVAX recover?
I think it absolutely can.
Will it happen tomorrow?
Probably not.
but I've been in this space long enough to know that the market has a funny way of laughing at strong projects before eventually rewarding them.
the chart tells you where $AVAX is today.
The fundamentals tell you where it could be tomorrow. 🔺
FIFA Chain is proving what blockchain can do for everyday users:
Ticket access, secondary-market activity, and handling real volume through @FIFACollect.
Fans use a great product. Blockchain runs silently underneath, powered by Avalanche.
From the beginning, Avalanche was about expanding what builders could create. We saw how blockchain could change the way value moves, assets are owned, and markets are designed.
Now businesses are turning those ideas into better payments, customer experiences, and everyday products.
And they’re building on Avalanche. Because it lets them shape their own infrastructure, set their own rules, and scale around what their products need.
That’s what this new brand is all about. It captures why Avalanche was built the way it was, how we grew to this moment, and points to the conclusion that feels inevitable.
I've spent the last six years at Ava Labs, focused on one thesis: the future of blockchain belongs to purpose-built networks that solve real world problems.
Today's brand refresh makes that thesis the centerpiece. "Technology Built for Business."
This isn't just marketing. It's a reflection of what's already happening and what's coming — dozens of live L1s, enterprise partners like Toyota, FIFA, SMBC, and Securitize building on Avalanche because the architecture was designed for exactly this.
The mindshare shift matters. Crypto has spent years competing on narratives. The brands that endure will be the ones competing on utility. On infrastructure. On outcomes.
Avalanche is entering its next chapter, and the brand now tells that story clearly. The real world is coming Onchain, and we've built the rails.
Starting this week, the APY for $ARENA staking will be changed to 5% in terms of $ARENA tokens earned.
Our next phase of staking will introduce other rewards for stakers, which will hopefully increase the overall APY for staking while minimizing the amount of $ARENA tokens that are distributed.
More to come on the next phase of staking in the coming weeks
Over the past several months, we’ve focused on one thing: showing what’s possible when blockchain technology is put to work.
Today, we’re bringing that story together.
Our new brand reflects a simple belief: the future of blockchain will be defined by businesses using the technology to move money, modernize infrastructure, and create entirely new products and experiences.
You’ll also notice a renewed connection to the imagery that inspired our name. Because like an avalanche, transformational change builds slowly, gains momentum, and eventually becomes impossible to ignore.
That’s the moment we believe this industry is entering.
Avalanche. Technology Built for Business.
