Avalanche’s native token gained 49.7% over four weeks, outpacing both Bitcoin and Ether over the same period. AVAX moved from a range of $7.20 to $7.50 in mid-September 2026 to roughly $10.80 to $11.00 in early October, bringing its market capitalization to nearly $4.8 billion. The Helicon upgrade, deployed on the mainnet on September 22, accelerated block verification up to 100x and reduced staking periods. Real-world assets also drove the rally: Avalanche added $266 million in RWA market capitalization over 30 days, with $131.2 million in tokenized equities inflows during the final week alone. Despite the near 50% climb, AVAX remains approximately 92% below its all-time high of around $145 set in November 2021.
