Q: Why does VanEck still see value in Avalanche?
Investment firm VanEck highlights Avalanche’s Snowman consensus mechanism, which enables block production in about 1.2 seconds with near-instant finality. Compared to Ethereum’s slower settlement times, Avalanche offers speed and lower transaction fees — features attractive for financial applications. VanEck also launched the only spot AVAX ETF currently trading, though demand remains modest relative to SOL and LINK products.

Q: Are there signs of network recovery?
Yes. Avalanche recently recorded over 1.3 million daily active addresses on its C-Chain — the highest level in its history. While investor sentiment remains cautious, rising on-chain activity suggests that infrastructure growth may be outpacing price performance. Whether AVAX regains its former highs may ultimately depend on whether institutional adoption and real-world asset tokenization continue accelerating.
