Grayscale’s Avalanche ETF: A Tale of Hope and Volatility 🚀💰

by

In a world where the lines between hope and despair blur, Grayscale Investments, a beacon of sorts in the digital asset realm, has submitted an S-1 filing to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This filing, more than mere paperwork, is a testament to the human spirit’s unyielding quest for innovation and financial freedom. The purpose? To launch an Avalanche ETF, a vehicle designed to navigate the tumultuous seas of the crypto market, and list it on the Nasdaq platform, a stage grander than any Broadway show.

The trust, a creation of both art and science, will track the performance of Avalanche’s native crypto AVAX, while Coinbase, ever the faithful companion, acts as the prime broker as well as the custodian for the same. AVAX, with its current metrics:

  • Price: $23.86
  • 24h volatility: 9.9%
  • Market cap: $10.07 B
  • Volume 24h: $937.68 M

These numbers, like the stars in the night sky, guide us through the dark and uncertain waters of the market.

Grayscale Plans to Rebrand Avalanche Trust Into ETF

Grayscale Investments, in a move that could only be described as a stroke of genius, has announced plans to rename its Grayscale Avalanche Trust (AVAX) as the Grayscale AVAX Trust ETF. This transformation, akin to a caterpillar becoming a butterfly, is not just a change in name but a metamorphosis in form and function, promising to bring the beauty of Avalanche to the masses in a way never before seen.

Once the SEC, that revered and sometimes feared gatekeeper, approves its registration statement, Grayscale would list the ETF shares on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (NASDAQ). A momentous occasion, indeed, one that could alter the course of history for AVAX and its loyal followers.

As part of this grand plan, NASDAQ, on March 27, 2025, filed an application with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under Rule 19b-4 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, seeking approval to list shares of the Grayscale AVAX Trust (the “19b-4 Application”). In the filing, Grayscale noted:

“In connection with the effectiveness of this registration statement and the listing of the Shares on the Nasdaq stock market, the sponsor intends to rename the Trust as Grayscale AVAX Trust ETF as described in this registration statement.”

The US SEC, known for its meticulous and sometimes glacial pace, has yet to approve the application, leaving Grayscale in a state of anticipation, unsure of the timeline for approval. The company, ever the optimist, has stated that no offering of shares will occur until the necessary SEC approval is obtained or the Trust determines that such approval is no longer required.

Will AVAX Price Recover?

AVAX, the native cryptocurrency of the Avalanche blockchain, a currency that has seen its fair share of ups and downs, is currently facing some selling pressure and is trading 3% down, under the crucial resistance of $25.00. Yet, in the world of finance, as in life, what goes down often comes back up, and AVAX is showing technical signs of a rare high-timeframe breakout, with analysts projecting a potential move into the mid-$30 range.

Market experts, those wise sages of the financial world, note that inefficiencies in the chart may still need to be addressed, but such setups are uncommon and can lead to sharp price movements when they occur. As one popular analyst, Bullish Stock, put it:

🚀 $AVAX is setting up for a rare high-timeframe breakout. Mid-30s looks likely with inefficiencies to fill. These setups don’t come often-but when they do, returns can be sharp. #Trading #Investing #Crypto

Another popular analyst, CryptoPulse, noted that AVAX is trading around $25.60, maintaining its position above the weekly support at $20.30 and approaching the $27-$28 resistance zone. What’s next? A break and close above $28 could open the path toward $32-$35, but a rejection could send the price back to the $20.30 support, a scenario that keeps investors on the edge of their seats.

Analysts, ever the optimists, remain bullish on AVAX, eyeing a breakout above $28 toward $32-$35. However, a rejection at this level could trigger a pullback to retest the $20.30 weekly support, a reminder that in the world of finance, as in life, nothing is certain, and the only constant is change.
