What’s new on the table for AVAX?

Anyone can view comprehensive on-chain statistics on Avalanche‘s validators, delegator transactions, staking, reward distribution, subnet constructions, and more with the new P-Chain Explorer. An added benefit of the new explorer is that it is public, allowing anyone to better understand the network’s power.

Apart from the P-Chain development, AVAX Daily also revealed the network’s statistics for its C-Chain. According to the weekly stats, the C-Chain’s translations exceeded 11.8 million on 30 January, which was an increase of 21%. Moreover, staking reward also registered an uptick by 8.5%.

But there are concerns on this front

However, these updates did not reflect AVAX’s price, as according to CoinMarketCap, it registered a decline of over 4% in the last 24 hours. At press time, the token was trading at $19.72, with a market capitalization of over $6.1 billion.

Avalanche’s total value locked (TVL) had been increasing since the beginning of this year, but in the last few days, it also registered a decline. AVAX’s demand in the futures market declined over the last week as its DyDx and Binance funding rates went down.

The development activity also showed a similar decline on 30 January 2023.

Nonetheless, AVAX’s social volume remained up consistently, reflecting its popularity in the crypto community. AVAX’s NFT space registered growth during the last week. Moreover, Santiment’s chart revealed that AVAX’s total NFT trade counts and NFT trade volume in USD increased.
