🤔 Avalanche transactions hit a 2026 high of 3.5 mln: Can AVAX reach $10 again?

Avalanche has experienced a massive surge in on-chain activity and network usage. According to Nansen, Avalanche’s daily transactions have surged to 3.5 million, the highest level in the past year.

Such a massive jump in transactions indicated growing network usage. Over this period, the network’s active addresses went from 100K for most of 2025 to a new floor of 500K to 700K.

Nansen noted three major factors that primarily drove this network growth. Firstly, Grayscale launched GAVA, an AVAX staking ETF on Nasdaq, creating a link for institutional investors.

Secondly, the SEC and CFTC classified AVAX as a digital commodity, thus bringing regulatory clarity. Finally, Broadridge brought proxy voting on-chain, allowing on-chain building.

When active addresses and transactions rise in tandem, it suggests strengthening fundamentals through real usage rather than speculation.

In fact, the network has seen a surge in real users, as evidenced by the Sybil and Non-Sybil metrics. This metric showed that non-Sybil users have climbed from 5k to 49k over the past four months.

🔸 Market demand is gradually recovering

Interestingly, as network activity rises, AVAX has seen significant demand across the market, especially from large entities.

On the spot side, for example, buyers have shown relative strength in recent weeks. Over the past three days, the altcoin recorded $49 million in outflows compared to $45.9 million in inflows.

As a result, the Spot Netflow has remained negative, dropping by 180% to -$3.06 million, a clear sign of aggressive spot accumulation.

Looking at the Spot Average Order Size data, it seems this demand is mostly arising from whales. As such, large whale orders have occurred around $9.3, with whales establishing a demand wall around $8.9 and $9.3.
