> Avalanche will supply ledger infrastructure to the clearing institution behind a New York Stock Exchange-associated tokenized securities platform.

Avalanche's C-Chain recorded about 2.3 million transactions over a recent seven-day period, up 13% from the previous week, while lower trading volume and fees showed uneven network activity.

Decentralized exchange volume fell 18% over the same period to about $471 million. Network fees declined 34% to about $1.5 million. The increase in transaction count therefore did not coincide with an increase in either measure.

Avalanche will provide core ledger infrastructure to the clearing institution behind a New York Stock Exchange-associated tokenized securities platform. That role is still ahead; the seven-day activity figures do not measure its effect.

Decentralized finance total value locked, the amount held in DeFi protocols, rose about 14% over the week to $608 million. Growth at protocols including Aave V4 accounted for much of the increase. Even after that rise, total value locked was about 5% of its roughly $11.5 billion peak in December 2021.

Stablecoin balances on Avalanche stood at about $1.32 billion, or 28% of their roughly $4.7 billion peak in March 2022. Seven-day decentralized exchange volume was about 7% of its historical high of roughly $6.7 billion.

C-Chain's seven-day transaction count was also well below its December 2023 peak of about 41.8 million. The latest figures show weekly gains in transactions and total value locked alongside declines in exchange volume and fees.
