Crypto News - Avalanche RWA TVL hits $1.3B

Avalanche’s [AVAX] RWA TVL reached $1.3 billion, at press time, reflecting years of steady infrastructure-led growth.

AVAX benefited from its subnet architecture, which improved performance by isolating workloads, lowering latency, and scaling throughput without congestion.

This foundation mattered in Q4 2025, when BlackRock expanded its $500 million BUIDL fund on Avalanche, instantly lifting TVL and validating the network for large allocators.FIS tokenized real estate and aviation loans added further depth. As capital arrived, usage surged.

Daily C-Chain transactions hit 2.1 million, driven by RWAs, gaming, and enterprise activity.

Looking ahead, expanding RWAs, new gaming and media chains, and institutional adoption suggest durable growth with positive long-term upside.

Avalanche’s position in the emerging on-chain RWA market

Avalanche positions itself ahead of rival chains by optimizing for institutional durability, not retail speculation.

Its subnet and Evergreen framework allow for private chains that follow rules and regulations, making them a good fit for traditional finance RWAs.

Performance reinforces this edge. Avalanche delivers sub-second finality, high TPS, EVM compatibility, and consistently low fees, reducing operational risk at scale.

These features explain why Avalanche holds one of the largest RWA shares outside Ethereum, according to RWA.xyz, within a $19 billion global RWA market.

Capital retention matters too. Strong transfer volumes and secondary liquidity on DEXs like Trader Joe show real usage.

While fees remain modest, infrastructure durability, not fee extraction, defines Avalanche’s strategic lead.

Stablecoin growth reflects institutional settlement demand

Avalanche’s stablecoin dynamics increasingly reflect institutional usage rather than speculative rotation.

Total supply ranges between $1.63 billion and $2.19 billion, yet both estimates confirm meaningful scale.

USDT dominates with roughly $796 million–$1.52 billion, accounting for 49–55% of the market share.

Moreover, USDC accounts for 19–32%, which translates to $516 million, indicating issuer concentration consistent with institutional liquidity preferences.

Meanwhile, $69 billion in stablecoin transfer volume over the past 30 days, up 5.76%, signals sustained high-value settlement activity.

Crucially, combined stablecoins and tokenized funds expanded by more than 70% since January 2024, surpassing $2 billion in aggregate value.

This growth diverges from memecoin-driven cycles and instead tracks utility-led demand, including tokenized funds, cross-border payments, and enterprise settlement flows.

Final Thoughts

Avalanche is compounding institutional credibility, with RWAs, stablecoins, and transaction activity reinforcing a shift toward regulated, high-value on-chain settlement rather than speculative flow.
Infrastructure strength, not fee extraction, underpins its lead, as subnets, compliance alignment, and performance convert capital inflows into durable usage across RWAs, payments, and enterprise activity.
