Avalanche Market Cap Jumps 67% in Q3 2025 to $16.8B, Messari Says

Published at 2025-11-12 21:17:20

Messari's Q3 2025 snapshot shows Avalanche's market capitalization rising 67% to $16.8 billion, propelled by expanding DeFi usage and continued rollout of subnets. The report credits subnet growth with attracting new projects and improving throughput, while higher on-chain activity translated into meaningful revenue and user increases for the network.

Institutional interest in Avalanche subnets appears to be a decisive factor, as firms seek customizable environments for compliance and performance. That adoption strengthens the chain's long-term outlook, though the momentum remains tied to overall crypto market sentiment and competitive pressures from other layer-1s. Still, Q3 stands out as one of Avalanche's strongest quarters, reinforcing the network's case as a growing hub for DeFi and enterprise-oriented deployments.
