Stablecoin Supply Surges 16% in a Week
Avalanche ($AVAX) has joined the top tier of stablecoin networks, ranking tenth globally by stablecoin supply. According to data from MSB Intel, the network's stablecoin supply climbed 16.35% over the past week to reach $1.66 billion, a move that reflects sustained capital inflows into the Avalanche ecosystem.
The growth puts Avalanche in direct competition with more established layer-1 networks for stablecoin liquidity, with DefiLlama data offering a real-time view of how that capital is distributed across the network's protocols.
BlackRock's BUIDL Anchors Institutional Presence
Adding institutional weight to the milestone, BlackRock's BUIDL fund is now among the largest tokenized assets operating on Avalanche. BlackRock expanded its USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund to Avalanche via tokenization platform Securitize, with one share of the fund represented by a single BUIDL token. The fund seeks a stable $1.00 token price and pays daily accrued dividends directly to investor wallets.
BUIDL invests its assets in cash, U.S. Treasury bills, and repurchase agreements, giving institutional participants an on-chain yield instrument backed by traditional finance collateral. The fund is now accessible across multiple blockchain networks, with Avalanche among them.
The arrival of BUIDL sits within a broader wave of institutional activity on Avalanche. According to Messari's State of Avalanche Q4 2025 report, real-world asset TVL on the network grew 68.6% quarter-on-quarter and 949.3% year-on-year, reaching $1.33 billion by the end of Q4 2025. That institutional foundation is now being reinforced further by the stablecoin supply growth reported this week.
Together, the stablecoin ranking and BlackRock's deepening presence signal that Avalanche is increasingly being treated as a serious venue for regulated, institutional-grade digital assets rather than purely retail-driven activity.
