Native USDC balance on Avalanche crossed $1.6 billion 

Luigi Demeo, head of DeFi at AvaLabs, announced that the native USDC balance on Avalanche had exceeded $1.6 billion, hitting an all-time high. Native USDC is the stablecoin on Avalanche that is not dependent on the Ethereum network, empowering the AVAX network against competitor Ethereum. 

The defining feature of native USDC is that it does not carry any bridge risk, making it ideal. ‘Bridge risk’ stems from the vulnerability of cross-chain bridges – used to transfer different cryptocurrencies – to hacking. The availability of USDC is a bullish sign for the AVAX network as the stablecoin could be exchanged for AVAX. 

Decentralized finance (DeFi) and other applications on the Avalanche network have access to native USDC liquidity, eliminating the need for costly token bridges and unsupported wrapped tokens. USDC liquidity helps fuel the rapid growth of the Avalanche ecosystem as part of the broader network of blockchains and businesses that take advantage of fast and low-cost USDC transactions every day.

Avalanche unveils a new look

Avalanche has offered users a new look explorer, that makes search and navigation of the primary network easier. The network announced that the release is the growing number of Avalanche subnets launched on the chain. 

It has become key for users and builders to be equipped with quality tools and data to aid their growing ecosystem and showcase their products. Avalanche has empowered subnet builders with guarantees of technical support and web-3 ready tools, offering them “Subnet Builder’s Bill of Rights”. 

Analysts are bullish on Avalanche price

Analysts evaluated Avalanche’s price trend and revealed a bullish outlook on the asset, arguing that once Avalanche price breaches $26.3, a run up to $28, $30 and the bullish target of $33.5 is possible. 

The recent dip in Avalanche’s price was an impulsive move, they argue, and the altcoin is ready to rebound, breach $26.3 and enjoy an extended rally. In the next wave, Avalanche could extend its gains to $33.5.
