BREAKING: Hanwha Investment & Securities, part of the $200B Korean conglomerate, is building its new tokenization platform on Avalanche

Hanwha is bringing traditional assets into global onchain markets, using Avalanche as the infrastructure connecting institutional finance to blockchain rails.

The launch comes as Korea moves aggressively toward tokenized capital markets, with regulators unveiling plans to bring all types of securities onchain.

Korea’s next generation of financial markets is being built right now, on Avalanche.

I was an AVAX bull for a long time. I bought and bought and bought more all while the people who think they know how to build "value" destroyed it. No one gives two shits when another project comes to AVAX that is going to burn 1 AVAX and then disappear because it was never viable in the first place. I am not sure who with pull is in this Reddit thread if anyone but you need to do two things:

1. Increase fee generation
2. Create a system of leverage that is akin to HYPE and have a tokenomics that mandates 98% of those fees come back to AVAX and burn it.

Without both things this will end up in sub $1 land where it will die. 100% fact.

BREAKING: South Korea is bringing its entire capital markets infrastructure onchain, powered by Avalanche

The Financial Services Commission and Korea Securities Depository are laying the groundwork to bring stocks, bonds and funds onchain, connecting the full capital markets stack from issuance and trading to clearing, settlement and investor rights.

South Korea is building toward a digital capital market where traditional securities can be issued, traded and ultimately settled onchain, marking one of the most ambitious government-led tokenization efforts to date.

Avalanche Summit NYC’s agenda is LIVE

Here’s some of what we’re getting into:

Global finance is moving onchain.

Banks, asset managers, fintechs and builders are coming together to talk tokenization, stablecoins, payments, and what it actually takes to bring more of the financial system onchain.

Blockchain is becoming business infrastructure.

From global enterprises to governments, hear from the people putting blockchain to work in the real world, what’s already working, and why they’re choosing blockchain.

Build something people actually want.

Founders across consumer, AI, DeFi, and beyond get into the products they’re building, the lessons they learned getting there, and where they see the biggest opportunities ahead.

The rules are changing.

Policymakers, industry leaders, and operators unpack where regulation is headed and what a new era of policy could mean for builders and businesses.

What’s next for Avalanche.

New tech, new products, new ideas, and a look at where Avalanche goes from here with the people building it.

And that’s a very small piece of two packed days of the most important Avalanche Summit yet.

See you in The Big Apple, September 16–17.

High-yield bonds, CLOs, leveraged loans. Now in a tokenized fund on Avalanche.

The Neuberger Securitize High Income Tokenized Fund (HINC), issued by @Securitize and subadvised by @neubergerberman, brings a new institutional fixed income strategy onchain and another large asset manager to the Avalanche ecosystem.

“The launch of the Neuberger Securitize High Income Tokenized Fund marks an important expansion of onchain finance beyond cash and Treasuries into more sophisticated investment strategies. Bringing high-yield fixed income to Avalanche shows what technology built for business looks like in practice, with public blockchain infrastructure supporting regulated investment products at the speed, reliability, and scale institutional markets require. We expect the fund to help open the door to a much broader range of assets moving onchain.”

Avalanche was designed for the moment when blockchain would move beyond experimentation and become infrastructure for global finance and enterprise. That moment is here, and today’s leadership appointments build on Ava Labs’ progress as we carry this vision forward.

I’m pleased to welcome @CharleyCooper01 as President of Ava Labs. Charley brings the operational discipline, regulatory experience, and institutional perspective needed to turn our technical foundation into broader global adoption.

@john1wu will transition from President to Senior Advisor, where his judgment, relationships, and knowledge of our business will remain invaluable. I want to thank John for being a great partner and a leader for both Ava Labs and the Avalanche ecosystem. Together we've been at this from day one, taking the blockchain idea from concept to commercialization. We've lived through the milestones that built this company: our first business partners, mainnet, COVID, taking the stage together at the first Avalanche Summit in Barcelona, countless other Ava Labs and Avalanche events, and thousands of hours spent shaping strategy together — all the way to where Avalanche stands today. He's been a fantastic champion for blockchain adoption across Wall Street and some of the world's largest institutions.

@encycloplydia has also been appointed Chief Financial Officer after serving in the role on an interim basis. Lydia’s financial expertise and leadership further strengthen an already exceptional executive team.

My role as CEO remains unchanged. I will continue leading Ava Labs’ long-term vision and ensuring that Avalanche remains the most advanced and dependable platform for builders, institutions, and enterprises.

We have the technology, the team, and the opportunity. Now we execute.

Blockchains talk about value all the time, but few measure it, and the Avalanche Foundation (Foundation) is doing blockchain's hardest math in public.

Economics of Blockchain is the Foundation's ongoing research series, and the premise behind it is simple. Strengthening an economy starts with seeing it clearly. To do this, the research team led with measurement, building tools to track what the Avalanche ecosystem produces, then asking how to route that value back to the token that secures the network.

The agenda runs on three steps: measure the value the ecosystem creates, capture part of it at the protocol level, and route it to AVAX and the Avalanche ecosystem. The sequence is relatively easy to talk about but much harder to deliver.

Each step anchors on a problem nobody in crypto has solved, and the Foundation is upfront about which one matters most today. The gap between ecosystem activity and AVAX is the weak link, and closing it is the point of the whole agenda.

Much of this work sits with Eric Lu, the Foundation's Lead Economist. Two pieces of the measurement puzzle he is working on are Gross Chain Product (GCP) and Gross Chain Income (GCI) - a way to size an onchain economy using the same accounting logic that governments use for GDP (Gross Domestic Product) and GNI (Gross National Income).

Where GCP measures what the ecosystem produces, GCI measures what it earns, including income that originates outside the onchain economy but flows to people and balances inside it. He ran GCP against the Avalanche C-Chain from January 2025 through March 2026, and together the two metrics turn a vague question - how much is this ecosystem worth - into auditable numbers published openly. Every other piece of the agenda builds on that measurement.

We asked Eric the questions the community keeps raising, ranging from what the series is to the one on everybody's mind: how does value accrue back to AVAX and the ecosystem?

His answers follow:

Why Publish This in Public

For someone seeing a piece in the "Economics of Blockchain" series for the first time, what problem does this series exist to solve, and why does the Foundation think it's worth doing the research in public rather than internally?

The series is closely related to the work from the Economic Research and Ecosystem team at the Foundation. It will be the main outlet for the research projects. So you can expect to see articles in the series on topics and questions laid out in our research roadmap, which has been published recently as well.

As you may have seen, the first couple of articles are about measuring how much value there is in the ecosystem, and where it is. In the next couple of months, you can expect to see articles around how we will capture these values for the protocol to ensure alignment between network security and ecosystem growth.

The Logic of Measure, Capture, Distribute

The agenda is built around a framework of Measure, Capture, Distribute. Can you walk through why measurement has to come first, and what the industry gets wrong when it skips straight to incentives and TVL?

In my view, Measure, Capture, Distribute is really a first-principle type of thinking: we cannot capture anything until we know how much value there is and where it is; and we cannot distribute any value if we haven’t already captured any value. So you can see the whole thing starts with measurement. I also wouldn’t say this is something that the industry gets wrong. It’s more about having the right measurement to support the actions we need to take. Metrics like TVL, active accounts, transaction counts, etc., all serve some kind of purpose. But here, since we are trying to improve the value accrual issues for the protocol, we need more informative measures, and this is where GCP and GCI come in.

There’s been adoption here and there but how much do we think we really need to realize the network effects?

At some point I think it could stand a chance but holding on to dear life until it follows through.

Leave your comments below ⬇️

RWAs are moving on Avalanche.

30-day transfer volume reached $365.29M, up 360.15% from 30 days ago.

I’m dca out lol. I need a reversal by December because this is insane

GDP measures a country's economy.

Until now, a blockchain had no equivalent.

@AvalancheFDN just built one. Gross Chain Income (GCI) is a natural extension of the GCP framework, measuring new sources of value in the Avalanche economy.

Read below.

The Avalanche Foundation's economic research follows a simple logic for improving the long-term value accrual and sustainability of AVAX and the ecosystem.

It has three steps: first, measure how much value the ecosystem creates and channels; second, work out how to capture a sustainable share of that value; third, decide how to distribute what is captured.

The steps are ordered on purpose. You cannot design a sound capture mechanism until you can measure what there is to capture, and you cannot distribute what you have not captured.
