AVAX, native token of the Avalanche network, made a resounding
entrance into the cryptocurrency markets at the onset of the year,
establishing itself as a prominent player and outpacing many other
altcoins. The initial enthusiasm surrounding AVAX, however,
underwent a notable transformation as the narrative took an
unexpected turn. Presently, the token finds itself perched at
$36.65, reflecting a marked shift from its earlier bullish
trajectory. Over the last seven days, AVAX has encountered a
challenging period, sustaining a 15% loss. AVAX Downturn Sparks
Concerns, Social Silence The reasons behind this recent downturn
could be multifaceted, ranging from market sentiment shifts to
external factors influencing broader cryptocurrency trends.
Investors and market analysts are closely monitoring the situation
to discern the underlying dynamics at play and determine whether
this is a temporary correction or indicative of a more sustained
trend. Furthermore, a curious case emerges – the dwindling social
volume. Despite AVAX’s resilience, online chatter surrounding the
platform has taken a nosedive, raising questions about the
sustainability of the coin. Related Reading: Cardano’s 2024

Activity The diminishing social volume might suggest a divergence
between market performance and investor sentiment, prompting a
closer examination of factors influencing both the cryptocurrency’s
value and the perception within the community. Positively, though,
the market capitalization of Avalanche has risen by more than 5% in
the past few days, indicating a greater influx of investors. AVAX

too long after Grayscale’s Digital Large Cap Fund adopted the
layer-1 blockchain, Avalanche saw a robust comeback. With billions
of cryptocurrency assets under its management, Grayscale is one of
the biggest digital asset managers. The inclusion of AVAX in
Grayscale’s fund indicates that institutions will still be
interested in Avalanche until 2024 and beyond. Meanwhile,
Avalanche’s circulating supply shrank significantly in the latter
half of 2023, fueled by a surge in activity surrounding
“inscriptions.” Avalanche Surges: Record Token Burns Celebrated
These data-on-chain creations generate transaction fees, which are
then permanently removed from circulation through the network’s
burn mechanism. Source: AVASCAN December alone saw a record 195,000
token burn, a testament to the growing popularity of inscriptions
on Avalanche. Experts attribute this trend to several factors.
Inscription-based transactions, initially popular on Bitcoin, are
finding new life on Avalanche due to their creative potential and
contribution to the burn mechanism. Related Reading: Maker Takes

creates a positive feedback loop, attracting users and further
reducing the circulating supply. Additionally, the rise of
inscription activity suggests a growing and engaged Avalanche
community, which bodes well for the network’s long-term health.
However, the implications of this trend are nuanced. While token
scarcity could lead to increased AVAX value over time, similar to
Bitcoin, it also raises concerns about rising transaction fees and
potential centralization if large inscription projects control a
significant portion of the fee pool. Featured image from
