According to Messaris latest report, the Avalanche (AVAX) ecosystem has undergone very drastic changes in Q2 2024. After two-quarters of increasing value, AVAX made a sharp correction, with its market capitalization falling to $11.6 billion, a decrease of 43% from the previous quarter.

Nonetheless, out of this dark cloud, a silver lining appears. The quarterly data of the previous year show that the circulating market cap is up to $4.5 billion, which is a growth of 157% from $3 billion in Q2 2023. The market cap of AVAX dropped to 10th place, but it was still quite strong, making it one of the few currencies to achieve such a feat.

Revenue generation on the Avalanche network has been adversely affected, with a steep decline of 46% quarter-over-quarter, dropping from 176,700 AVAX to 96,200. This decline was mirrored in USD terms, where revenue dropped by 53%, from $7.5 million to $3.5 million.

The decrease can be partly related to the long-lasting decline in on-chain activities, which is supported by the inscriptions link. Experts forecast a revenue rise as on-chain activities at the different smart contract platforms are expected to begin revamping.

Avalanche Tokenomics and Staking Dynamics

Moreover, Avalanches tokenomics indicate that all revenue generated is burned, and validators and stakers are given newly minted AVAX tokens. The total supply is capped at 720 million tokens, with the first half reserved for staking rewards, which depend on the staked amount and duration.

The annualized inflation rate decreases slightly and falls to 5.2% in Q2. Nevertheless, staking, which is backed by a 6% increase in staked AVAX, is still bullish, mainly because of new initiatives aimed at boosting staking engagement that has been partly responsible for this result, despite the decrease in the active validator count, which was down 7% to 1,558.

Transactions on the network also shifted, with the global average daily transactions falling 57% to 201,500. The decline is a sign of the general crypto market slump after Q1s heightened activity. Nevertheless, some protocols like Tether (USDT) and GMX recorded increases in transaction volumes, which means there are some parts of the market where the trend is contrary to the general trend.

Looking ahead, Avalanche is more than ever focused on tech advancements and community-driven proposals to enhance its ecosystem in the long term. This is proof of commitment to making it easier for institutions to enter and to decentralize their network even more.
