Nasdaq has applied for a rule change with the SEC to list shares of an exchange-traded fund (ETF) tracking the spot price of Avalanche. This follows similar filings for a VanEck Avalanche ETF and a Grayscale Avalanche fund, indicating a growing trend of issuers addressing the demand for digital asset-focused investment products. The success of spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs has spurred efforts to offer altcoin-focused investment products, with other altcoins like Dogecoin, Solana, XRP, Litecoin, and Sui also being considered for ETFs.
Analysts anticipate SEC approval for Avalanche and Dogecoin ETFs, with AVAX potentially approved by the end of December and DOGE by mid-October. Currently, AVAX, the native token of the Avalanche blockchain, is trading at about $18.30, down 87% from its all-time high. Despite this, Standard Chartered predicts AVAX to jump to $250 by the end of the decade, emphasizing Avalanche's unique approach to scaling through dedicated L1 app networks and its potential for relative price gains compared to Bitcoin and Ethereum.
