Avalanche’s (AVAX) RWA TVL reached $1.3 billion at press time, reflecting years of consistent infrastructure-led growth.
AVAX benefited from its subnetting architecture, which improved performance by isolating workloads, reducing latency, and increasing throughput without congestion.

Its compliance-friendly design has also attracted regulated institutions.
This foundation was important in Q4 2025, when BlackRock expanded its BUIDL fund by $500 million on Avalanche, instantly raising TVL and validating the network for large splitters.FIS tokenized real estate and aviation loans added even more depth. As capital arrived, utilization increased.
Daily C-Chain transactions reached 2.1 million, driven by RWA, gaming and enterprise activity.
Looking ahead, expanding RWAs, new gaming and media channels, and institutional adoption suggest sustainable growth with positive long-term upside potential.
Avalanche’s Position in the Emerging On-Chain RWA Market
Avalanche positions itself ahead of rival chains by optimizing institutional sustainability, not retail speculation.
Its Evergreen subnet and framework allows private chains to follow rules and regulations, making it a good fit for traditional financial RWAs.
Performance reinforces this advantage. Avalanche offers sub-second finality, high TPS, EVM compatibility and consistently low fees, reducing operational risks at scale.
These traits are why Avalanche has one of the largest RWA stocks outside of Ethereum, according to RWA.xyz, in a $19 billion global RWA market.
Capital retention is also important. Large transfer volumes and secondary liquidity on DEXs like Trader Joe show real usage.
While fees remain modest, it is infrastructure sustainability, not fee extraction, that defines Avalanche’s strategic edge.
Stablecoin Growth Reflects Institutional Settlement Demand
Avalanche stablecoin dynamics increasingly reflect institutional use rather than speculative rotation.
The total supply is between $1.63 billion and $2.19 billion, but both estimates confirm significant magnitude.
USDT dominates with around $796 million to $1.52 billion, or 49-55% of the market share.

Additionally, USDC accounts for 19-32%, or $516 million, indicating an issuer concentration consistent with institutional liquidity preferences.
At the same time, stablecoin transfer volume of $69 billion over the past 30 days, up 5.76%, signals sustained high-value settlement activity.
Importantly, stablecoins and tokenized funds combined have grown over 70% since January 2024, surpassing $2 billion in aggregate value.
This growth departs from memecoin-driven cycles and instead follows demand for public services, including tokenized funds, cross-border payments, and corporate settlement flows.
Final Thoughts
-
The avalanche worsens institutional credibility, with RWAs, stablecoins and transaction activity reinforcing the move towards regulated, high-value on-chain settlement rather than speculative flows.
-
Infrastructure strength, not fee extraction, underpins its lead as subnetworks, compliance alignment, and performance convert capital inflows into sustainable use of RWA, payments, and enterprise operations.
