AVALANCHE OCTOBER 2025 ROUNDUP
Institutional adoption is clear: RWA value on Avalanche rose past $1B to $1.25B across 42 assets, making it the 4th-largest chain by RWA TVL and 3rd for tokenized US Treasuries.
October 2025 wasn’t just another milestone, it was the month traditional finance fully embraced Avalanche as critical infrastructure. Avalanche secured partnerships with some of the world’s most powerful financial institutions: BlackRock tokenized $500M in a single transaction, Visa enabled stablecoin payments, and TIS powering 50% of Japan’s credit card transactions, deployed its Multi-Token Platform.
But beyond metrics, October demonstrated that regulated stablecoins, tokenized securities, and real-world payments aren’t experiments anymore, they’re production systems processing real value.

October 2025 will be remembered as the month institutions stopped experimenting and started deploying at scale. BlackRock’s $500M deployment, Visa’s payment integration, TIS’s platform launch, and Japan’s regulated stablecoin weren’t pilots, they were production systems handling real value with regulatory compliance.
The transformation is undeniable: RWA value surpassing $1 billion, ranking third for tokenized Treasuries, and transaction volumes hitting yearly highs prove that infrastructure built for institutions attracts institutional capital. Avalanche’s position as the institutional blockchain is now reality.
