Vancouver, British Columbia TheNewswire – April 14 th, 2025 Juggernaut Exploration Ltd. (TSX-V: JUGR) (OTCQB: JUGRF) (FSE: 4JE) (the ‘Company’ or ‘Juggernaut’) is pleased to announce a non-brokered financing of up to $2,650,000. Crescat Capital Funds LLC (‘Crescat’) has agreed to make a strategic investment representing a 28.95% ownership of the Company post-funding on a partially diluted basis. Juggernaut welcomes this strategic investment from Crescat Capital and technical support from Dr Quinton Hennigh. Juggernaut’s Big One Project is garnering strong interest and support from leading institutions and miners globally, confirming the quality of the newly discovered 11 km Highway of Gold surrounding the Eldorado porphyry system on the Big One property. The exciting discovery is in an area of glacial and snowpack abatement next door to the world-class gold-rich porphyry systems at Newmont Mining’s Galore Creek. The Big One Property is a discovery with assays up to 79.01 gt gold (2.54 ozt gold) and 3157.89 gt silver (101.5 ozt silver) from over 200 gold-silver-copper rich polymetallic veins up to 8 m wide and striking for up to 500 m that all remain open at surface. The Big One Project covers 33,693 hectares in a world-class geologic terrane with tremendous additional discovery potential in the heart of the Golden Triangle, British Columbia.

Dr. Quinton Hennigh has taken on the role of special technical advisor to the Company. He is the technical consultant for all Crescat’s gold and silver mining investments. Dr. Hennigh is a world-renowned exploration geologist with over 40 years of experience with major gold mining firms, Homestake Mining, Newcrest Mining, Newmont Mining, and Kirkland Lake/Fosterville. In just the last five years, Dr. Hennigh was instrumental in several material discoveries, including Goliath / Surebet, Newfound / Queensway, SCM / Isidorito, Eloro / Iska Iska, Snowline / Valley, Sitka / RC Gold Project, and Tectonic / Flat.

Dr. Hennigh stated , ‘The Big One gold-silver project has a very similar feel to Goliath’s Surebet gold discovery. To date, reconnaissance prospecting and sampling conducted by Juggernaut’s exploration team have identified a multitude of multi-meter thick quartz-sulfide veins, many of which have yielded +oz per tonne Au and multi-oz per tonne Ag assays. Early indications suggest there is a genetic association of veins with late-stage magmatism in the area, an association seen at Surebet. This season, Juggernaut has a clear mandate to follow up on these results with detailed mapping and channel sampling, much like Goliath did during the early days of the Surebet discovery. The Company’s mission is to get as many targets as possible ready for drill testing either late season or for 2026. I am very eager to see if a new ‘Surebet’ type discovery is in hand.

The charity flow through funding will consist of up to 2,000,000 charity flow through units (‘CFT Units’), priced at $0.825 each for gross proceeds of up to $1,650,000. Each CFT Unit will consist of one charity flow-through common share plus one warrant to purchase one non flow-through common share at $0.75 for a sixty month period with a forced conversion at $1.50, 10 consecutive trading days at or above the strike price, callable at management’s discretion.

Juggernaut is concurrently raising 2,000,000 hard dollar units priced at $0.50 each for gross proceeds of up to $1,000,000. Each hard dollar unit will consist of one common share plus one warrant at $0.75 for a sixty month period with a forced conversion of $1.50, 10 consecutive trading days at or above the strike price, callable at management’s discretion. Upon completion of the charity flow-through and hard dollar financings for a combined total of $2,650,000, which is projected to close on or before May 15th, Crescat will own 28.95% in the company post-financing.

‘Gold exploration is all about swinging for the fence. Persevering with a diversified portfolio of great management and technical teams with bold targets is the key. The cool thing about Juggernaut is that it has the same geologic team as the one behind Goliath Resources, where their Surebet gold discovery has already been a home run, based on personal experience. We are happy to invest in Juggernaut and this team. It’s time for Big One, which may be the best target yet for this company and team. We are eager to support them with capital for another at-bat.’ – Kevin Smith, CFA, Founder & CEO of Crescat Capital .

Directors and officers of the company may acquire securities under the placement, which participation would be a ‘related party transaction’ as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (‘MI 61-101’). Such participation is expected to be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101.

Mr. Dan Stuart, Director, President, and CEO of Juggernaut, states:

‘We are pleased to strengthen our relationship, both with Crescat Capital as a strategic investor and Dr. Hennigh as a Special Technical Advisor and investor. I look forward to working with our partners who bring a proven track record of both financial and technical strength. This will enable Juggernaut to unlock the full potential of its assets over the long term, building value for all shareholders. This investment and strategic partnership, coupled with the ongoing support and interest from other globally recognized Institutions and senior miners, is a strong endorsement that clearly demonstrates the significant near-term discovery potential of our 100% controlled properties. Post financing, Juggernaut will have an extremely tight capital structure of just 18,355,169 shares, no debt, and a strong cash position of ~ $3,000,000. As such, we are well-positioned to move forward with our plans of drilling The Big One Discovery. With much anticipation, we look forward to executing the inaugural exploration program and reporting results.’

The Company may pay finder’s fees of the gross proceeds from the financing in cash, and compensation options on units being sold. This non-brokered private placement is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval. All shares issued pursuant to this offering and any shares issued pursuant to the exercise of warrants will be subject to a four-month hold period from the closing date.

The XRP price has once again surged above the significant $2.2 mark, sparking investor confidence. This prevailing positive sentiment has evoked speculations of a potential bullish trend. Driven by this current uptrend, experts believe that XRP could possibly hit a massive high of $20.

XRP Surges Past $2.2; What’s the Next Target?

Amid significant developments within the Ripple ecosystem, the XRP price is experiencing notable upticks. After a week of trading below $2, XRP has finally recovered, exhibiting a notable resurgence. According to market expert, Crypto Crusaders, the XRP price is awaiting a significant uptrend, targeting an ambitious $20 mark.

XRP’s Current Performance

As of now, XRP is trading at $2.14, marking a massive 20% increase over the past seven days. Despite this weekly uptick, XRP has seen declines of 2.2% and 10% over the last day and month, respectively.

Though traders and investors are confident about XRP’s potential rally, the overall market sentiment remains negative. The 24-hour trading volume of XRP has plummeted by 4%, currently at $3.98 billion.

XRP Dipped Below $1.8 Despite Crucial Ripple Lawsuit Updates

Over the past few weeks, the Ripple vs XRP case has seen major developments, invoking optimism within the community. Of this, Ripple’s withdrawal of its cross-appeal, after the US SEC dropped its appeal, has marked a significant turning point in the Ripple vs SEC case.

Despite these significant developments, the XRP price continued to trade below $2, sometimes dipping to a low of $1.7. However, the altcoin’s recent rebound has lifted traders’ spirits, easing some of the anxiety and skepticism fueled by its earlier dips.

While the community remains optimistic about XRP’s future amid the Ripple lawsuit settlement, All Things XRP advises taking a realistic outlook for the coin’s price.

Is XRP Price Poised for Further Upticks? Expert Insights

According to analyst STEPH IS CRYPTO, the XRP price is poised for a 500% rally. If his prediction comes true, XRP could hit a gigantic high of $30.

Similarly, another expert, Cryptoes, suggested that the altcoin would take a positive turn as it has broken past its critical resistance level.

While these predictions are optimistic, it’s essential to approach them with caution. Considering the unpredictable nature of the crypto market, XRP’s future trend is uncertain. Whether XRP reaches $30 or experiences a downturn remains to be seen.

Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy has made another Bitcoin purchase, bringing the software company’s total holdings to 531,644 BTC. The MSTR stock has also rebounded amid this announcement, surging alongside the Bitcoin price.

Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy Acquires 3,459 Bitcoin

In a press release, Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy, now known as Strategy, announced that it acquired 3,459 bitcoin for $285.8 million at an average price of $82,618 per BTC. The company also achieved a BTC yield of 11.4% year-to-date (YTD) in the process.

This announcement comes just a day after Michael Saylor hinted at the company buying Bitcoin last week. Following this latest purchase, Strategy now holds 531,644 BTC, which it acquired for $35.92 billion at an average price of $67,556 per Bitcoin.

The software company remains the public company with the largest Bitcoin holdings, well ahead of MARA holdings. The recent purchase is a positive for BTC, especially considering that Strategy halted its Bitcoin purchase two weeks ago, which raised concerns about whether Saylor’s firm was choosing to wait on the sidelines amid the market downtrend.

However, MicroStrategy still has the capital to acquire more Bitcoin in the foreseeable future, which is bullish for the Bitcoin price. This year, the company has announced plans to raise almost $22 billion through stock sales to acquire more Bitcoin.

MSTR Stock Surges

Nasdaq data shows that MicroStrategy’s stock has surged amid the announcement of the company’s latest Bitcoin purchase. The MSTR stock is up over 3% in pre-market trading and is trading at around $310.

This rebound is likely thanks to the Bitcoin price surge, given the positive correlation between both assets. The BTC price has rallied back to the $85,000 mark and is looking to reach new highs.

The MSTR stock is currently up over 3% YTD. Meanwhile, the stock is up over 11% in the last five days, providing a bullish outlook for an asset that has been the best-performing since MicroStrategy adopted its Bitcoin Strategy.

Ethereum Smart Contracts:- In a significant move for the Ethereum developer community, OpenZeppelin has announced the release of Solidity Contracts v5.3, the latest version of its industry-standard library for building secure smart contracts.

OpenZeppelin provides a library of secure smart contracts for Ethereum and other blockchains. Its tools are widely used by developers to ensure safe and reliable contract execution in decentralized applications (dApps).

From NFT drops to multi-billion dollar DeFi protocols, its contracts are trusted across the board. With the release of v5.3, the team is continuing to respond to the existing real-world challenges of smart contract development — governance limitations, gas costs, and evolving standards.

Notably, OpenZeppelin’s latest update brings an array of enhancements focused on security, governance, performance, and developer experience.

This update can also encourage more robust DAO structures and enhances the flexibility developers have when crafting token economies or on-chain decision-making systems.

What is the most important update for Ethereum Developers

Solidity as a programming language is used to write smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain. It’s a high-level, statically-typed language designed for secure contract execution.

Solidity enables developers to create decentralized applications (dApps) by encoding contract rules, such as transferring tokens or managing voting systems, directly into the blockchain.

A standout feature in its latest version, v5.3, is the upgrade to the governance framework, particularly the introduction of GovernorWithSuperQuorum and ProposalGuard.

These modules would give projects more control over the decision-making mechanisms of DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations).

Super quorum would allow developers to require higher participation thresholds for specific governance proposals, making it harder for low-turnout votes to pass major changes. Meanwhile, proposal guards provides a mechanism to filter or reject harmful proposals before execution, protecting DAOs from malicious or erroneous governance activity.

Notably, these tools come at a time when many DAOs are facing increased scrutiny over voter participation and proposal quality — making this upgrade highly relevant.

Introduces ERC-6909: A New Token Standard

As part of its upgrade, OpenZeppelin v5.3 has also introduced support for the experimental ERC-6909 token standard.

This emerging standard provides a new approach to handling multi-token systems that is both gas-efficient and flexible.

ERC-6909 could be particularly useful in gaming, metaverse applications, and marketplaces where multiple token types need to coexist efficiently under one contract.

Error Handling Gets an Upgrade

Error handling in Solidity has long relied on require ( ) tatements with string messages. Developers have found this  method functional and useful, but  it can be gas-heavy and hard to standardize.

In v5.3, OpenZeppelin has replaced many of these with custom errors, significantly reducing gas costs and improving clarity.

For developers, this means not only cheaper transactions but also clearer debugging and error identification. As smart contracts become more complex, such optimizations are vital in maintaining performance and reducing friction during audits and development.

Complete Upgrade List can be found here:  https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts/releases/tag/v5.3.0

Towards Secure Smart Contracts for Ethereum?

As Ethereum continues to evolve, especially with the rise of Layer 2s and application-specific chains, OpenZeppelin’s libraries remain foundational. The v5.3 release not only reflects incremental improvements but also paves the way for more modular, secure, and future-ready smart contracts.

Solana price is on a bullish path after hitting a two-week high of $134 today, April 14. A top trader now believes that the ongoing SOL rally is in its early stages and forecasts a bull run past $300 after spotting a bullish setup on the CME futures chart. Can Solana attain this target, or will bears regain control?

Solana Price Eyes $300 as CME Futures Flash Bullish Sign 

According to top crypto trader BitBulls, Solana price may be on the verge of a rally to $300. This analyst observed that SOL was following a clear accumulation and breakout pattern on the CME chart. This pattern mirrors the Ethereum 2021 trend that preceded a massive move for ETH to the upside. 

SOL/ETH CME Futures Chart

BitBulls further observed that the key accumulation zone for SOL is between $120 and $130. As more traders accumulate at this zone, it may trigger a parabolic Solana price rally to a fresh all-time high above $300. 

Several factors, such as onchain data, support this top trader’s bullish thesis. Analyst CryptoPatel noted that network activity on the Solana blockchain is on the rise. In the last seven days, more than $120M has been bridged to SOL, indicating that Web3 users are turning to the blockchain.

He further added that the crowd sentiment on Solana price is shifting after the SOL/ETH ratio surged to an all-time high over the weekend. 

Solana Sentiment

As traders accumulate when the crowd sentiment is positive and on-chain data is bullish, it supports the Solana price forecast of a rally past $300. 

Key Levels to Watch in Solana Price 

Solana price is currently trading within a key demand zone as depicted on its one-day price chart. This means that traders are accumulating SOL at this zone as they anticipate an upswing. 

Once SOL bounces from this demand zone, it faces the first resistance level at $180. This level previously served as critical support, with a breakout above it set to flip the market structure from bearish to bullish. 

If Solana can make a decisive close above $180, it will clear the path for the next bullish leg to $237. If the buying pressure is still strong at this level, SOL can target forming a fresh all-time high. 

Looking at the RSI, it is clear that buyers have resumed. This indicator stands at 54, which is its highest level since late January. This further shows that the bullish momentum is growing stronger. 

SOL/USDT: 1-day Chart

Given the setup on the CME futures chart, it is likely that a new all-time high for Solana price may be in sight. The shifting market sentiment and a change in the market structure to bullish further make it possible for SOL to reach $300.

A renowned crypto market analyst has forecasted a highly bullish outlook for Dogecoin price against the backdrop of a crypto market recovery. On Monday, April 14, analyst Ali Martinez revealed that DOGE could hit $0.29 ahead, given its price sustains a break above $0.17. Notably, the dog-themed meme coin is currently resting at the $0.16 price level, rebounding from as low as $0.13 over the past week.

Analyst Forecasts $0.29 As Next Target For Dogecoin Price

Ali Martinez revealed via an X post that the Dogecoin price is gearing up for a big week. Particularly, a close above $0.17 paves the road for the next price levels at $0.21 or even $0.29, per the analyst.

As long as the meme coin holds key support at $0.13, the chances of such a bullish feat remain highly optimistic. As mentioned above, the price has already visited the $0.13 support over the past week, although it also recovered back to previous highs.

Source: Ali Charts, X

At the time of reporting, DOGE token’s price traded at $0.1659, up 0.5% over the day and roughly 20% over the week. Crypto market traders and investors remain highly optimistic, expecting the dog-themed token to cross $0.17 soon amid its price recovery.

Can DOGE Also Hit A New ATH?

Meanwhile, another renowned crypto market has predicted a highly bullish scenario for the meme token amid a broader recovery. Javon Marks noted in an X post that the token is “looking ready to put on yet another magical bullish performance to new all-time highs.”

Notably, the analyst stresses that the price could gain at least +200% to +330% above $0.73, an ATH reached by the token as of May 2021. This bullish prediction has added to market optimism about DOGE price action ahead.

Also, analyst Trader Tardigrade recently broadcasted a bullish forecast for the same token, cementing investor bullishness. According to Tardigrade, Dogecoin price has entered phase D in “Wyckoff Accumulation,” signaling that massive gains are imminent.

Source: Trader Tardigrade, X

Wyckoff Accumulation is a trading mechanism by Richard Wyckoff that is used to understand how smart money (whales) accumulate assets before a major price move up. Particularly, Phase D in this phase suggests strong support from buyers, paving the road for the last phase, E. Phase E characterizes an end in accumulation trends followed by a strong, sustained uptrend.

Moreover, a DOGE price prediction by CoinGape further revealed that bulls remain dominant over the crypto, per the 3-month bias indicator. In conclusion, broader market sentiments about the meme coin’s price remain highly bullish in the wake of top analysts predicting a massive rally ahead.

The previous weekly note categorically mentioned that while the markets may continue to decline, the Indian equities are set to outperform its global peers relatively. In line with this analysis, the market saw wide swings owing to prevailing global uncertainties but continued showing remarkable resilience against other global indices. The volatility spiked; the India VIX surged sharply by 46.18% to 20.11 on a weekly basis. The markets witnessed significant volatility, and as a result, the Nifty oscillated in a wide 1180.25 range during the past week. Despite this, the headline index Nifty 50 closed with a negligible loss of just 75.90 points (-0.33%).

The coming week is also short; Monday is a trading holiday for Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Jayanti. From a technical perspective, a few of the significant things have happened. Although the Nifty formed a fresh swing low of 21743 while slipping below its previous low of 21964, the Index has successfully defended the important support level of 100-week MA that stands at 22152. This level remains a very important support level for the market in the near term. So long as the Nifty keeps its head above this point, it will stay in a larger range but would avert any major drawdown. A violation of this level will invite structural weakness in the markets. On the upper side, it faces stiff resistance between the 23300-23400 zone, which houses the 20-week MA.

With Monday being a holiday, Tuesday will see the markets opening after a gap of one day and adjusting to the global trade. The levels of 23000 and 23250 may act as potential resistance points; the supports come in much lower at 22400 and 22150.

The weekly RSI is at 44.28; it stays neutral and does not show any divergence against the price. The weekly MACD is bearish and stays below its signal line; however, the narrowing Histogram hints at a likely positive crossover in the coming days.

The pattern analysis of the weekly Nifty chart reflects a strong rebound following a successful test of the 100-week moving average in early March, triggering a sharp 1,700-point rally. However, recent corrective moves driven by tariff-related concerns have led to the formation of a new swing low. Despite this, the Index has managed to hold above the crucial 100-week moving average level of 22,152 on a closing basis, which remains a key support zone. As long as the Nifty sustains above this level, the Index is likely to consolidate rather than witness any significant decline. However, a decisive breach below this average could open the door to a deeper corrective phase, which looks unlikely in the near future.

Overall, the Nifty is expected to encounter resistance around the 23,100 level and above, with volatility likely to remain a dominant feature in the near term. The Index may continue to trade within a broad range, making it prudent to adopt a cautious stance. Investors are advised to limit leveraged positions and prioritize protecting gains at higher levels. For fresh entries, the focus should remain on stocks exhibiting relative strength. Given the prevailing uncertainty, maintaining a conservative approach with modest exposure is recommended for the upcoming week. Risk management and selective participation will be essential to effectively navigate the anticipated market swings.


Sector Analysis for the coming week

In our look at Relative Rotation Graphs®, we compared various sectors against CNX500 (NIFTY 500 Index), which represents over 95% of the free float market cap of all the stocks listed.

Relative Rotation Graphs (RRG) show the Nifty Infrastructure, Metal, Banknifty, Services Sector, Consumption, Commodities, and Financial Services sector Indices inside the leading quadrant. Regardless of the direction the markets adopt, these groups are likely to post relative outperformance against the broader markets.

The Nifty Pharma Index is the only sector index present in the weakening quadrant.

The Nifty Auto Index has rolled inside the lagging quadrant, while the IT Index continues to languish inside the lagging quadrant. Besides this, the Midcap 100, Media, and Realty indices are also inside this quadrant, but they are improving on their relative momentum.

The Nifty FMCG, Energy, and PSE Indices are inside the improving quadrant; they are expected to improve their relative performance against the broader Nifty 500 Index.


Important Note: RRG charts show the relative strength and momentum of a group of stocks. In the above Chart, they show relative performance against NIFTY500 Index (Broader Markets) and should not be used directly as buy or sell signals.

In 2024-2025, the United States significantly escalated its trade conflict with China through new tariffs, including a substantial 100% tariff on electric vehicles and 50% on essential technologies like semiconductors and solar products. These measures amplify the existing trade tensions and represent a profound shift towards economic decoupling between the two largest global economies. This article evaluates both short-term and long-term economic impacts of these tariffs, analyzing their implications for global trade patterns and specifically examining India’s potential to capitalize on these shifting dynamics.

The memecoin ecosystem has joined the latest revival in the broader market, with the Shiba Inu price now in the spotlight. The memecoin has reset its bearish outlook and will break crucial price milestones in the coming days.

For Shiba Inu, the death cross formation was confirmed on April 6 when the price dropped from $0.00001232 to a low of $0.00001030.

Shiba Inu Price Golden Cross Confirmed

Market data shows that the SHIB price is gradually disappearing from its earlier consolidation trend. At the time of writing, the coin’s price was changing hands for $0.00001249, up by 2.14% in 24 hours. 

SHIB recovered after trading at a low price of $0.00001205 to a daily high of $0.00001265 before settling at the current level. This price boost comes as the SHIB burn rate jumped 1000% in early trading, setting the memecoin on a possible revival path.

SHIB/USDT 4H Chart. Source: TradingView

The SHIB/USDT 4h chart confirms a golden cross pattern for the memecoin. This pattern is formed when the short-term Moving Average switches above the longer-term moving average.

Although this pattern is fully formed on the 4-hour chart, it is yet to form on the daily chart. However, with the current momentum, a confirmed breakout is possible. Already, the token has displaced Hedera and now ranks as the 17th largest cryptocurrency.

Shibarium Catalyst for Price Rebound

Different ecosystem factors can boost the price of Shiba Inu in the long term. One of these factors is closely tied to the outlook of Shibarium and its associated Layer-2 scaling solution.

As reported earlier by CoinGape, the Shibarium 200 million addresses milestone is near. If the network attains this landmark, it will show a clear sign of growing adoption, a move that might boost its token valuation.

Already, Shibarium has broken the 1 billion total transaction milestone. Should the Shiba Inu network continue to record organic growth, its chances of outranking Dogecoin is higher.

Amid the ongoing boost, the question remains how high the memecoin could soar. Drawing on this, a potential SHIB retest of its ATH of $0.00008844 is possible moving forward. While it will require as much as a 710% growth from current levels, SHIB can print this uptick, drawing on its historical trend.

Avalanche (AVAX) is carving a niche as a blockchain network with boundless scalability but one expert is highlighting its real-world use case in finance. Crypto expert Olivia Vande Woude says Avalanche will change the landscape for traditional finance as we know it.

Avalanche Will Modernize Legacy RTGS Systems

According to an X post, business development expert Olivia Vande Woude remarks that Avalanche will improve current offerings for mainstream finance. Right out the bat, Woude notes that the lowest hanging fruit for AVAX will be changing outdated rails in legacy finance.

Woude argues that rather than a wholesale replacement, an Avalanche integration will improve legacy RTGS systems like SWIFT and Fedwire. Perhaps, the biggest area of improvement will be in conventional post-trade infrastructure bogged down by fragmented reconciliation. Woude notes that the network can introduce real-time finality and liquidity efficiency for post-trade infrastructure.

Large exchange infrastructure is tipped to record seismic changes following an Avalanche integration, says Woude. While CBOE and ICE grapple with execution latency, Woud was Avalanche’s decentralization can reduce slippage for legacy exchanges.

“Avalanche does for finance what fiber optics did for telecom,” said Woude. “It’s replacing outdated rails with real-time, high-throughput, low-latency execution.”

Woude points out in her statement that Avalanche’s tamper-proof infrastructure will improve the batch processing systems employed by traditional custodians. The derivatives markets will receive their fair share of changes, leaning on Avalanche’s collateral optimization and margin logic based on advanced smart contracts.

Amid soaring regulatory changes in the US, traditional financial institutions can unlock new revenue streams in tokenization via blockchain-based integrations.

Benefits Extend To Funding Markets Amid Soaring AVAX Price

Woude highlights the benefits of an integration in short-term funding markets by leaning on its dynamic discounting. Furthermore, the blockchain offers programmable yield analytics designed to revolutionize the operations of repo settlements and liquidity management in funding markets.

An EVM compatibility will allow institutions to still deploy Ethereum-based smart contracts, smoothening the curve for tokenized funds. As the US SEC approves options trading for Ethereum spot ETFs, Avalanche can offer financial institutions permission chains for compliance while offering on-chain derivatives mirroring ETF performance.

“Avalanche isn’t just modernizing financial infrastructure, it’s reprogramming it,” said Woude. “Institutions adopting Avalanche in turn gain a meaningful edge in speed, efficiency, and transparency.”

AVAX price has gained nearly 8% over the last day driven by a broader crypto market rebound and rising institutional adoption for Avalanche. AVAX is trading at $20 while daily trading volumes have spiked by 7% buoyed by bullish chatter around the network.
