Today, we’re launching the Avalanche Payments Collective.
Founding participants include Franklin Templeton, VanEck, Anchorage Digital, Paxos, Agora, Ethena, Rain, Axiym, Tassat, and others spanning the payments stack.
The Collective brings together companies spanning stablecoins, settlement, treasury infrastructure, foreign exchange, custody, card issuance, business payments, asset management, and global payouts.
Why?
Because the future of payments requires more than faster transactions.
Moving money globally requires liquidity, settlement, compliance, treasury management, custody, foreign exchange, and local payment networks working together as one. 🔺
28 leading organizations supporting payment flows across 150+ countries, 96 currencies, and ~22 billion payout endpoints are building on Avalanche.
Over the last several years, Avalanche has quietly become home to one of the industry's broadest payments ecosystems.
Now, that ecosystem has a name.

Most people hear "@avax " and think, just another Layer-1 trying to beat Ethereum.
That's the wrong frame entirely.
Avalanche isn't trying to replace Ethereum. It's trying to replace the financial system.
Here's what makes the architecture different.
Every other chain gives you one network with shared rules. Everyone competes for the same block space. Fees spike when it gets busy. One app can clog the whole thing.
Avalanche gives institutions their own chain.
Custom rules • Custom validators • Custom
compliance controls
All powered by the same underlying engine, but completely isolated from everything else.
That's why @BlackRock, @progmat_en and KB Kookmin Card didn't just build on Avalanche. They each built their own Avalanche.
Numbers don't lie, check receipts.
C-Chain transactions in 2026 are running nearly 7x higher than the same period last year, currently processing 2.5 to 3 million transactions every single day.
Distributed RWA value hit a record $1.16 billion, making Avalanche second globally for distributed real-world assets (RWAs), just edging past BNB Chain.
And Aave V4 is eyeing a deployment on Avalanche with $15 million in incentives tied directly to growth.
This isn't a chain people are speculating on. It's a chain people are actually using.
The quiet truth about Avalanche is this.
It was never built to win a marketing war.
It was built to be the infrastructure serious organisations reach for when they need something that actually works at scale, compliantly, reliably, permanently.
They build on things they trust.
Avalanche keeps becoming one of those things.
JUST IN: 🇺🇸 Former President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, says "fiat is a sham, the banking class is corrupt."
"Decentralized digital currency and the blockchain are the inevitable future."
NEC Director Kevin Hassett: "The facts are that President Trump is creating a Golden Age... In the first 3 Quarters where he’s been president, the average GDP growth has been 3.2%. President Trump promised 3% growth in 2017 and everyone said he’s crazy."
JUNE 2028.
The S&P is down 38% from its highs. Unemployment just printed 10.2%. Private credit is unraveling. Prime mortgages are cracking. AI didn’t disappoint. It exceeded every expectation.
What happened?
