Meanwhile, Avalanche is trading at $23.12, gaining traction from institutional demand and partnerships with giants like JP Morgan and Citi for asset tokenization. Its TVL has reached $881.97 million, supported by the Firewood system that enhances network efficiency.

Solana, Binance Coin, and Aave: Leading the DeFi and NFT Charge

Solana (SOL), Binance Coin (BNB), and Aave (AAVE) are also standing out with strong performance this year. Solana, trading at $142.04, benefits from increased on-chain activity and a partnership with Visa for stablecoin payments. The introduction of FireDancer and its growing DeFi and NFT adoption have boosted Solana’s exchange volumes and NFT sales beyond Ethereum’s.

Binance Coin, priced at $535.34, with a 1.09% decline in the past week, has improved transaction efficiency through MEV adoption, driving greater user participation in its DeFi ecosystem.

Aave, trading at $136, continues to lead the DeFi space with upgrades that enhance cross-chain functionality and security, and its native stablecoin, GHO, is gaining popularity, strengthening Aave’s appeal among investors.
