Avalanche (AVAX) is finishing the first half of 2025 on a positive note, priced at $23.79 after a gain of over 10% in the past week. Institutional investments are significantly contributing to the project's growth trajectory.
Institutional Adoption Accelerates
On August 8, 2025, BlackRock selected Avalanche as the second-largest chain by assets under management for its BUIDL fund, specializing in tokenized Treasuries and bonds. Additionally, VanEck and FIFA have also taken steps toward utilizing Avalanche for their projects.
ETF Approval Could Be a Game-Changer
According to Bloomberg analysts, there is a 90% chance that an AVAX ETF will be approved by December 2025. This could propel market reactions similar to Bitcoin's post-ETF approval rally in 2021.
Technical Picture – $27 is the Breakout Level
AVAX is facing a crucial resistance level at $27. If the price sustains above this level and ETF approval occurs, a rally towards $29.81 and potentially $34 by mid-2026 is likely.
Avalanche's future hinges on its ability to convert institutional investments into significant technical moves. The $27 resistance will be a key test, while regulatory developments and ETF news will shape its movement in 2026.
