Avalanche Originals. Episode 2.
The NYSE announcement is a monumental milestone for Avalanche, but I would argue it’s an even bigger moment for our entire industry and we're excited to be a part of that progress.
Naturally, I’m proud to see Avalanche technology at the center of infrastructure being developed for one of the world’s most important financial institutions.
But scrolling through the timeline, I’m reminded of how difficult it can be for this industry to recognize progress beyond an individual’s own native ecosystem or bias.
We have spent the better part of a decade debating which chain will ultimately prevail, sometimes losing sight of what we’re actually trying to accomplish. The opportunity in front of us is orders of magnitude larger than the market we’re competing over today.
When an institution like the NYSE moves toward blockchain-based market infrastructure, it lends credibility to an entire industry that has spent years working to establish its place in global finance.
That should be celebrated, regardless of which network is involved.
I want Avalanche to win, and I’ll continue making the case for why our team and technology is uniquely suited for institutional finance. But I also recognize that meaningful progress across other ecosystems strengthens the case for all of us. The pie is infinite for all of us collectively.
We’re still early in a much larger transformation of global finance. There’s plenty of room for healthy competition without losing sight of the fact that we’re building toward the same future.
I hope we can move beyond the old tribalism and start acting like an industry that’s ready for the responsibility being placed in its hands.

Avalanche is meeting institutions, enterprises, and innovators where they are in their onchain journey.
The industry can either continue to sit on the sidelines and lecture about the benefits of blockchains, or meet the moment and show what they can do. We're doing that.
