The prominent U.S. asset manager VanEck has officially submitted an ETF application focused on Avalanche (AVAX) to a Delaware court. Registered on March 10, this application has heightened expectations for spot AVAX ETFs in the cryptocurrency market, generating signals of a 13% price increase for AVAX. Despite a market-wide correction, Avalanche’s ongoing tokenization collaborations with JPMorgan and Mastercard continue to attract investor interest.
VanEck’s ETF Initiative and AVAX’s Price Dynamics
VanEck’s Avalanche ETF application is seen as a sign of increasing interest in the cryptocurrency market following management changes at the SEC. The company, which previously drew attention with its Solana 
$172 ETF filing, maintains its portfolio diversification strategy. While there are indications that the approval process may be lengthy, a sense of optimism is evident in the market in the short term.
Following the news of the application, the price of AVAX surged from around $15 to $17, with daily trading volume exceeding $600 million, marking a 97% increase. However, an 8% drop in open positions and rising liquidations raise questions about the sustainability of this upward trend. Investors are closely monitoring upcoming macroeconomic data from the U.S. and the SEC’s stance.
Avalanche’s Tokenization Strategy and Corporate Collaborations
Avalanche is integrating leading financial organizations into its ecosystem through its tokenization efforts. JPMorgan is working to integrate its Onyx payment platform with Avalanche’s subnetworks, while Mastercard is conducting pilot projects on the blockchain. These collaborations highlight the strength of Avalanche’s customizable infrastructure for corporate use.
Cryptocurrency analyst Miles Deutscher notes that the number of new users on the Avalanche network has rapidly increased from January to March, stating that tokenization projects are enhancing network activity. Avalanche’s fast transaction capacity and low costs continue to attract the attention of traditional financial giants towards blockchain technology.
