Why institutions will run on Avalanche:

Financial institutions won’t run on public blockchains. Avalanche gives them their own customizable, compliant, permissioned L1s while remaining connected to the broader network. Institutions, powered by Avalanche.

Avalanche is poised to onboard institutions. One way we're seeing that come to life is through @DinariGlobal. They've tokenized US securities so that anyone around the globe can invest, but are doing it in a way that preserves the price on the traditional market.

As a sports fan, it's great to see blockchain used to solve problems like ticket fraud and rampant fees. It’s these real-world use cases that will drive widespread adoption of Avalanche.

Real-world 🔺doption is the foundation of long-term value. Across sports, @avax is showing how blockchain can replace legacy systems that need better verifiability such as onchain ticketing. We see this as proof of the network’s capacity to support real-world economies.

And we’re doing more than just investing—we’ll also be funding builders and projects across the Avalanche ecosystem to kick off a flywheel of growth. More to come on this soon. I’m looking forward to what the next chapter holds at @avat_co!

Unlike ETFs, which only track the price of the underlying asset, DATs offer broader exposure to the entire ecosystem.

“AVAT will offer a broader exposure to the @avax ecosystem beyond just the token itself.” Our CEO, @gbartsmith, sat down with @paulbarron to discuss how AVAT is positioning itself to stand out in the DAT space.

Institutions need a regulated wrapper to invest in the space, and builders need the benefit of institutional-scale capital inflows. That’s the gap Avalanche Treasury Co. aims to fill: a compliant way for investors to get exposure to AVAX right in their brokerage accounts.

After over a decade in crypto, I’ve seen ecosystems come and go. Since seeing the institutional sense and long-term vision that @avax has, I know it’s an ecosystem worth being part of. There’s a reason TVL has grown 100% in the last year—institutions and builders want in.
