About Avalanche
Avalanche (AVAX) is a cryptocurrency, traded on global digital-asset markets. It trades at $6.85 as of the latest update, with a 24-hour move down 0.36%, placing it at rank #39 by market capitalisation among all listed digital assets. Avalanche's current market cap stands at $2.89B, a figure used by traders, analysts and institutional desks to gauge relative liquidity and risk exposure across the crypto market.
On this page you'll find a live, daily-refreshed dashboard tracking Avalanche across multiple data sources — price history going back several years, on-chain activity where available, fundamentals like circulating supply and dilution, top exchanges by volume, technical analysis using moving averages and RSI, and an algorithmic short, mid and long-term forecast. All figures are pulled from public APIs and cached locally; nothing here is investment advice.
Avalanche positions itself as a general-purpose chain for decentralized applications. The investment thesis rests on ecosystem traction: active addresses, application total-value-locked, and developer mindshare, balanced against the throughput-versus-decentralisation compromises baked into its consensus.
Avalanche (AVAX) is a top-50 asset, ranked #39 among all tracked tokens by capitalisation. It currently trades about 95% below its all-time high of $145.67 set in November 2021.
By market value Avalanche (AVAX) sits inside the top 50, trading at $6.85 as of the latest snapshot. AVAX is -0.36% over 24 hours, +2.59% over the past week, putting it in the upper half of weekly performers across the top 250 by market capitalisation. Avalanche remains roughly 95% beneath its all-time high of $145.67, a level first printed in November 2021. Trading volume is light versus market value — only about 3.4% of capitalisation changes hands daily — so larger orders can move price more than they would for higher-liquidity peers.
How it works — Avalanche
Under the hood, Avalanche is a smart-contract Layer-1 using staked validators rather than mining to reach consensus. Validators put the token at risk as a bond, the protocol selects them to order transactions, and fees plus issuance reward honest participation. Developers deploy contracts that this validator set then executes.
Avalanche (AVAX) is a top-50 asset, ranked #39 among all tracked tokens by capitalisation. It currently trades about 95% below its all-time high of $145.67 set in November 2021.
Use cases — Avalanche
In practice the token does four jobs: it pays gas for on-chain activity, it is staked to help secure the network and earn yield, it underpins the applications and DeFi collateral built on the chain, and it carries governance weight. Its value tracks how much genuine usage the chain attracts.
Daily volume runs at about 3.4% of market capitalisation ($98.53M in the last 24 hours), in the normal band for a coin of this size and supportive of orderly entries and exits.
Tokenomics
Supply schedule & distribution
- Total supply: 457.94M AVAX — all tokens minted to date (including those locked or held by the issuer)
- Max supply: 720.00M AVAX — the protocol-defined upper limit (if any) on lifetime issuance
Avalanche's supply schedule directly affects its long-term inflation rate and, by extension, how dilutive future issuance will be to existing holders. A coin near full dilution behaves very differently from one that still has 60% of its supply waiting to be unlocked.
Supply economics
Issuance pressure, dilution, and structural value accrual
Avalanche's tokenomics combine its supply schedule, current circulating supply, and the relationship between circulating market cap and fully-diluted valuation.
The question that matters for a longer-term view is simple: does value accrual (burns, staking-yield reinvestment, deflationary mechanics, growing ecosystem TVL) run ahead of new issuance, or behind it? Ahead, and price can compound quietly; behind, and it leans on continuous fresh demand to soak up the supply.
Trader's note
Coin-type-aware tactical interpretation
What tends to move Avalanche ahead of price is on-chain demand: active addresses and fees paid on the application layer, plus the staking picture (the share of supply bonded and where the staking yield is heading). Healthy, improving network usage has historically led the chart rather than lagged it.
Price Strength reads neutral (50/100). On a chain like this, the more durable entry signal is fundamental stabilisation — TVL and active users finding a floor — rather than the price chart alone. AVAX has historically tracked ecosystem and narrative shifts more than textbook technical setups.

Market sentiment
Crypto Fear & Greed Index · alternative.me
The Crypto Fear & Greed Index aggregates volatility, market momentum, social media activity, dominance and Google Trends data into a single 0–100 score updated daily. Today's reading is 23 — Extreme Fear.
Extreme fear (below 25) historically signals buying opportunities for contrarians, while extreme greed (above 75) often precedes corrections. The index works best as one input among many, not as a standalone trading signal.
Macro & cross-asset context
How macro liquidity and cross-asset moves frame the trade
The macro backdrop for crypto assets is dominated by the Federal Reserve's rate path, the trajectory of dollar liquidity, and the unwind (or non-unwind) of the post-2020 expansion in M2 money supply. Crypto — Bitcoin in particular — has historically responded most strongly to shifts in the global liquidity regime, with risk-on phases coinciding with falling real yields and a softening dollar, and risk-off phases the inverse.
To read crypto in a wider context, keep an eye on four markets — the dollar, where strength typically pressures risk assets; long-dated Treasury yields, which set the discount rate on future cash flows; gold, sometimes a parallel hard-money bet; and US equities, frequently correlated with crypto during liquidity-driven swings despite the popular "uncorrelated" label.
Narrowing to Avalanche, the cleanest leading signal has usually been crypto-native liquidity — the combined trend in stablecoin supply, futures open interest and exchange turnover. When that pool of on-chain capital grows, AVAX has tended to advance with it; when it drains, the move has typically gone into reverse.
Risks
The hazards to weigh: stake that concentrates in a handful of validators, bugs in the applications running on the chain, an unusually crowded field of competing L1s, unsettled regulation of staking rewards and MEV, and the hard truth that a base layer loses value fast if builders and users drift to a rival.
