DeFi is evolving from speculative experimentation into real financial infrastructure. On Avalanche, that transition is underway, driven by scalable architecture, low-latency execution, and composable design. Let’s take a look at what’s being built. 🧵

Stablecoins on Avalanche serve as infrastructure for payments, yield, and FX, representing $2.12B in market cap with 2.5M+ holders. New assets like @avantprotocol’s avUSD ($40M TVL) and savUSD integrate native strategies, while @withAUSD ranks among the network’s top stablecoins. Global FX rails are expanding too, with XSGD, BRZ, EURC, and @nonco_otc’s FX On-Chain platform driving cross-border liquidity.

Avalanche’s DeFi stack is evolving to support scalable, capital-efficient trading. @vertex_protocol has processed over $1B in trades, while @eulerfinance surpassed $190M in deposits with modular lending strategies. Tools like @Balancer V3 and @elixir’s DeUSD bring programmable liquidity and structured stablecoins to Avalanche’s ecosystem.

RWAs are moving onchain at scale. Avalanche now supports over $163M in tokenized assets across 24 products, including tokenized T-bills (@opentrade_io), regulated equities (@BackedFi), money markets (@BlackRock’s BUIDL issued through @Securitize), and SEC-registered funds (@WisdomTreeFunds). Platforms like @re are also unlocking new, uncorrelated yield streams through tokenized reinsurance.

Liquid staking is becoming a capital layer for DeFi on Avalanche, with $245M+ staked across providers like @BenqiFinance, @GoGoPool_, and @yieldyak_. Projects like @upshift_fi build cross-chain prime brokerage around LSTs, while @SuzakuNetwork enables restaking to support emerging Avalanche L1s.

DeFi is scaling beyond its early experiments. With stablecoins, tokenized assets, liquid staking, and modular infrastructure, Avalanche is helping build the next chapter of onchain finance.

That's so interesting 🫶

Great thread by @avax team, the DeFi on Avalanche is strong out of questions

DeFi is really growing up and @avax is leading that shift. Love seeing how fast things are being built. I'm Excited for what’s coming next!
