AVAX daily transactions hit 3.5M as active users surge, while price consolidates below $10 with bullish momentum building.
AVAX network activity reached a one-year high after daily transactions climbed to 3.5 million, according to an update from Nansen.
The firm said active addresses, which stayed near 100,000 for much of 2025, now hold a new floor between 500,000 and 700,000.
This week alone, Avalanche recorded 23 million transactions, up 39%, alongside 1.3 million active addresses. As a result, on-chain data now points to a clear structural shift in network usage, while price action continues to test a major breakout zone.

AVAX Transactions Surge as Institutional Access Expands
Nansen linked the network jump to three major developments that landed within weeks.
First, Grayscale Investments launched its GAVA AVAX staking product on Nasdaq, opening regulated exposure to Avalanche for traditional investors. The product also includes staking rewards, which adds direct yield participation to price exposure.
.@avax daily transactions just hit 3.5M – the highest in the last year.
Active addresses went from ~100K for most of 2025 to holding 500K to 700K as a new floor.
Something structurally changed.

Additionally, the firm highlighted regulatory clarity and enterprise adoption as key drivers.
The post pointed to AVAX’s digital commodity classification and Broadridge Financial Solutions bringing proxy voting on-chain through the Avalanche infrastructure. Together, those developments strengthened the case for broader institutional and enterprise use.
The timing matters because the rise in transactions now aligns with product-market catalysts rather than isolated speculative activity.
Consequently, the surge looks more durable than previous short-lived spikes.

AVAX Price Holds Range as Daily Momentum Improves
On the daily chart, AVAX trades near $9.30, holding inside a consolidation band between $8.80 and $10.00. The wider trend remains bearish from the late-2025 breakdown, yet recent candles show fading downside pressure.
Price has repeatedly bounced from the $8.75 to $8.85 support zone.
Meanwhile, sellers continue to defend $9.55 to $9.70, which remains the immediate ceiling. A stronger resistance block still sits between $10.00 and $10.20.
Momentum indicators now lean constructive.
The RSI sits at 51.73, slightly above the midpoint, while the MACD histogram turned positive. Besides that, the MACD line crossed above the signal line near the zero level, showing early recovery momentum.
Still, the move remains fragile until price confirms above resistance with stronger volume.
AVAX $10 Breakout Becomes Key Trigger
The technical structure now places $10 at the center of the next directional move.
A daily close above $9.70, followed by a clean push through $10.20, could open the door toward $11.00 and later $11.80.
However, failure to hold $8.80 would weaken the improving setup. In that case, downside levels at $8.20 and $7.50 come back into focus.
For now, the market structure remains neutral to slightly bullish.
On-chain growth has improved the backdrop, while the chart shows steady accumulation beneath resistance. Therefore, the next few daily closes around the $10 zone may decide whether AVAX turns this network strength into a broader price reversal.
