Avalanche is entering a new chapter of its growth journey, with news of partnerships with major enterprises and adoption in stablecoin payments in Korea. A wave of on-chain indicators shows a surge in network activity.
These updates are not just marketing “tweets” but are supported by real operational evidence, including DEX volume and Bitwise’s ETF filing. This evidence indicates strong demand, liquidity, and institutional interest.
Expanding Influence in AsiaAvalanche (AVAX) is spearheading the digitalization of Asia’s economy, especially in Korea, a vibrant crypto market with over 15 million accounts in domestic crypto exchanges.
Recently, BDACS partnered with Woori Bank to launch KRW1, a stablecoin backed 1:1 by the Korean won. After a successful PoC, it is now in the pilot phase. Avalanche provides secure, high-speed infrastructure to support KRW1. INEX, an exchange offering lifetime 0% fees, signed an MOU with Ava Labs to pilot online and offline stablecoin payments.
In Japan, Avalanche is equally active, as Densan (65,000+ stores) and SMBC – one of the country’s three largest banks – collaborate to develop a stablecoin for national payments. With tokenized whisky from Bowmore & Suntory and automotive finance models from Toyota Blockchain Lab, AVAX is blending tradition with innovation, proving its appeal to global enterprises.
“Avalanche’s key differentiator is its proven history of delivering success with institutions. From KKR’s healthcare fund tokenization in 2022 to the State of Wyoming’s stablecoin in 2025, these have consistently been industry-first and highly complex projects.” Justin Kim | Head of Asia, Ava Labs, shared in Tiger Research’s latest report.
Explosive Network Performance, AVAX Eyes $42In 2025, Avalanche is “firing on all cylinders”. Network transactions have skyrocketed, fueling record activity across L1s. DEX volume on Avalanche hit $12 billion in August, and in the past 24 hours, it reached $630 million, surpassing Arbitrum and Sui (SUI). This marks an 8x increase over the last two months.

In addition, Wyoming launched FRNT – the first state-backed stablecoin for real-world use – and Exit Festival adopted smart ticketing for 500,000 attendees. These figures are not just dry data; they prove AVAX attracts real users, from DeFi to entertainment.
The entry of Solana’s former head of communications into Ava Labs is expected to boost growth, bringing marketing expertise to help AVAX compete with other L1s. The Avalanche Foundation appointed Lord Chris Holmes, a UK parliamentarian and technology policy expert, to its board. This appointment strengthens Avalanche’s regulatory credibility and supports global expansion.
Breaking Out of PennantFrom a technical perspective, AVAX shows no signs of “cooling off,” especially after breaking out of a bull pennant pattern. With solid support at $27, many analysts believe the next target is $42. At the time of writing, AVAX is trading at $31,82, up 6% in the last 24 hours. AVAX surged to $30, its highest since February, following news of two $500 million Treasury bond deals to expand institutional reach.

Four AVAX ETFs have been filed and are awaiting approval in 2025. If the SEC gives the green light, institutional capital could propel AVAX to new heights, similar to the impact of Bitcoin ETFs.
