AVALANCHE JULY 2025 ROUNDUP
Visa integrations, AI-native chains, and $250M in tokenized assets. July didn’t slow down, and neither did Avalanche. Here’s everything you might’ve missed.
July was Avalanche in overdrive.
From Visa’s stablecoin integration to community-powered games, new L1 launches, and tokenized asset deals topping $250M, the Avalanche ecosystem surged with activity on all fronts.

$100K India Mini Grant Fund
Team1 launched a $100,000 Mini Grant Fund to support early-stage builders across India. This program will empower local talent and help ideas go from prototype to a working product with active users. Grants will initially range from $500 to $5,000 and be awarded in phases based on progress and execution. Each grant is also connected to broader Team1 programs, including mentorship, hackathons, and in-person events.
India Hackathon Tour Announced
Kicking off in August, the Team1 India Hackathon Tour will visit six cities and offer over $25,000 in prizes, exclusive merch, and grant opportunities.

Blackhole
Blackhole emerged as July’s breakout DeFi star on Avalanche.
By late July, Blackhole had become Avalanche’s largest DEX with over $250 million in TVL, peaking around $255 million. Its daily trading volume ranged between $165 million and $235 million, making it one of the top performers on the network.
DefiLlama ranks Blackhole as the third-largest dApp on Avalanche, just behind Aave and Benqi, and among the top 15 decentralized exchanges globally.
Blackhole’s unique design features dual veNFT tokenomics -Singularity and Supermassive, with no team or VC allocations. Its governance is community-driven through bribes, and its CLAMM architecture combines features from Uniswap v3, Curve, and Velodrome.
This rapid growth and innovative model make Blackhole a key player in Avalanche’s DeFi ecosystem and a strong example of community-led success.
July brought some powerful discussions shaping the future of Avalanche and Web3 at large. Thought leaders and industry experts shared fresh perspectives on adoption, tokenization, purpose-driven building, and institutional needs:
John Nahas explained on CNBC Arabia why Avalanche’s custom-chain architecture is the real key to unlocking mass adoption:
Luana Cantuarias delivered a compelling Proof of Thought, challenging the Web3 space’s focus on rewards and urging builders to prioritize intention and purpose
At EthCC, Morgan Krupetsky laid out what institutions really require to accelerate adoption: privacy, compliance, and reliable, composable infrastructure
Avalanche Live Podcast: Avalanche Live covered a wide range of topics in July, including NBA partnerships, stablecoins in Latin America, and new DeFi protocols. Each episode offers direct insights from builders and experts.
July demonstrated significant progress for Avalanche across multiple fronts, including network growth, strategic partnerships, and ecosystem development. Key milestones and institutional use cases reflect the platform’s growing adoption and maturity.
The continued focus on scalable infrastructure, developer support, and community engagement positions Avalanche well for sustained growth. Moving forward, the ecosystem is expected to build on this momentum as it advances toward broader adoption and further innovation in the Web3 Space.
