Something massive is coming to Avalanche.

Every day, thousands of real players join live rooms to watch, play, and win together. Now they’ll do it onchain.

Welcome MyPrize to Avalanche🧵: @myprizeus, one of the largest social casino platforms in the world, is bringing prize redemptions, game resolution, and tracking natively to Avalanche with over $1.15B in total player winnings to date.

But here is the cool part,

Powering the holidays🔺

NYC's oldest holiday market, Union Square Market, will be quietly using stablecoin payments with Urbanspace’s new app, powered by Avalanche.

Union Square Market sees millions of visitors and 180+ vendors per year: At select stalls shoppers will pay with @USDC through Urbanspace’s new holiday payments app.

On the surface: a familiar tap-and-go checkout that feels like any other modern payment.

Under the hood: an embedded, gas-free wallet on Avalanche + onchain loyalty rewards.

More stablecoins coming to Avalanche.

@sparkdotfi, which actively manages ~$3B, is expanding to Avalanche.

Spark will be moving USDC onto Avalanche, adding a USDC savings vault, and deepening USDC lending pools on Avalanche. 🧵 Spark is incubated under @SkyEcosystem’s Endgame architecture, the rebrand of MakerDAO.

With Spark’s move onto Avalanche, stablecoin liquidity flows in at scale, borrowing capacity grows, and TVL compounds across DeFi.

The institutions are here.

Thailand’s second-largest bank, KBank, is integrating @StraitsX to run cross-border payments between Thailand and Singapore. This builds on Alipay+’s live use case for 1.6B+ tourists to pay at any GrabPay merchant in Singapore.

Powered by Avalanche: The problem: traditional cross-border looks instant, but settlement can take days between banks and hides fees.

The solution: Avalanche and @Avacloud bring instant, transparent settlement for travel payments.

Global trade is going onchain.

@blockticity and ASTM have introduced a new global trade standard to quickly verify tracking and authenticity of global supply chain, ASTM D8558.

Powered by Avalanche🧵: @ASTMIntl is implementing ASTM D8558, a new global standard for digital traceability and compliance.

This replaces paper trails with a shared, tamper-proof system that tracks materials, authenticates documents, and gives regulators real-time oversight.

The Avalanche network is strong.

The @MessariCrypto Q3 Avalanche report:

🔺 RWA +252% → $677M
🔺DATs: $1.10B committed
🔺DeFi +41.6%, DEX volume +182%
🔺L1s: tx +136%; daily active users +277%
🔺Stablecoins +21%
🔺Enterprise: FRNT, Toyota, Mirae

and more🧵: RWAs looking good here.

RWA TVL rose 252% in Q3 to $677M, climbing to the #4 ecosystem by that metric.

Driven in large part by @SkyBridge’s ~$300M tokenization and @GroveDotFinance’s $250M deployment via @Centrifuge.

RWAs continue to grow on Avalanche.

Introducing @SierraIsMoney, powered by @opentrade_io, combining real-world assets and DeFi infrastructure into one transparent onchain framework🧵: SIERRA is available within the Avalanche ecosystem through the Sierra app and LFJ.

Its structure is backed by reserves that generate yield and are dynamically adjusted through Sierra’s Risk Framework.

The institutions are here.

@FISGlobal, which processes $9T+ annually, and @intainft, which has administered $6B+ in loans, are launching Digital Liquidity Gateway for ~2,000 U.S. banks to buy, sell, and securitize loans.

Private, secure, & powered by Avalanche. Digital Liquidity Gateway will plug into FIS core systems, use AI to cut manual work, and record deals onchain for instant verification and programmable settlement.

Built on @AvaCloud, Intain's avalanche L1 unlocks bank capital faster and brings more RWA flow and institutional usage to Avalanche.

BTC.b is getting an upgrade.

Ava Labs is partnering with @Lombard_Finance to transition BTC.b’s infrastructure and operations🧵: The objective: unlock cross-chain access, deepen institutional adoption, and deliver long-term scale while keeping BTC.b familiar for users.

What’s staying the same?
- Same token, contract, and name
- 1:1 BTC backing
- Minimal disruption for holders or protocols

This is a big deal.

The company that powers ~50% of Japan’s credit card payments, TIS, just deployed on Avalanche🧵: TIS just launched its Multi-Token Platform with @avacloud, a managed blockchain platform that automates scaling, governance, and security. This enables TIS to focus on the product while Avacloud handles the technical complexity.

This is 🔺doption.

a $20B+ industry is going onchain.

K-Pop entertainment company Titan just launched 2GATHR, an app for K-Pop fans worldwide to engage with their favorite artists.

Powered by Avalanche🔺 2GATHR is one of Korea’s first large-scale entertainment apps using blockchain for real fan engagement, home to their debut idol group AtHeart.

Fans can chat, stream, complete missions, and collect digital photo cards.

Try it here: 2gathr.app

K-pop is everywhere.

The most-watched movie on Netflix right now is K-pop themed (Kpop Demon Hunters), a clear sign the genre has become a global mainstream force.

Now that same culture is moving onchain. Titan Content is launching 2GATHR, a fan engagement app built on a custom Avalanche Layer 1 called TITAN.

It gives fans missions, exclusive content, and digital collectibles tied to AtHeart’s music and performances.

Avalanche is powering a new chapter in Korea’s digital economy. 🔺🇰🇷

BDACS, together with Woori Bank, has launched KRW1, a fully collateralized, won-backed stablecoin. Currently in a pilot phase following a full PoC, KRW1 marks an important step toward regulated, bank-integrated digital money in Korea. Every KRW1 is backed 1:1 with won held in escrow at Woori Bank.

With real-time API integration, reserves are verifiable instantly, setting a new benchmark for transparency and trust as Korea prepares its Digital Asset Basic Act.

Avalanche adds two giants to DeFi 🔺

sUSDe from @ethena_labs is live, a scalable reward-bearing stable asset.

Together with @pendle_fi it unlocks fixed and variable yield markets on Avalanche’s low fee, sub second rails. What is Ethena?
USDe = crypto-native synthetical dollar pegged ~$1.

Backed by a delta-neutral hedge:
- Long BTC/ETH spot collateral
-Offset by short perpetual futures = aiming to help balance price movements

sUSDe = staked USDe that aims to stream protocol revenue.

What lessons can we learn from someone who connects the right people at the right time across tech, commerce, culture, and crypto?

The constant thread: curating environments where unexpected and catalytic connections happen.

Partnering with the Cavs, Pistons, and LSU, Uptop is redefining fan loyalty.

The Quiet Disruptor: John Timoney Gomez grew up with two passions: sports and numbers.

That mix shaped his path from PayPal to co-founding @uptop_xyz, reinventing how fans connect with brands. At PayPal, John tackled fraud and optimized transactions.

With Uptop, he’s solving fan loyalty by making sure attention rewards fans directly with perks, experiences, and value they own instead of platforms.

Your everyday grocery or gas purchases can now bring you closer to your team.

Uptop and LSU Athletics launch Geaux Rewards, where fans earn points for shopping to redeem for LSU gear, signed memorabilia, and experiences,following NBA deals with the Cavs and Pistons. The Cavs and Pistons programs proved the model, linking your card, earning rewards year-round, and bringing fans and sponsors closer together through shopping, predictions, and more, all powered by Avalanche.

Avalanche, where capital connects US equities with global markets.

@DinariGlobal is building the future of equity markets through the launch of the Dinari Financial Network, an omni-chain orderbook and L1 network for tokenized U.S. equities, powered by Avalanche. Dinari is a leading provider of tokenized U.S. public equities.

Now it’s going a step further, launching a dedicated Layer 1 blockchain powered by @AvaCloud to unify issuance, liquidity, and settlement across chains.

It’s compatible with a growing list of blockchain environments and fintechs & governed by a consortium of top institutions.

Welcome back to Proof of Thought, a human-centric ideas index pulling Web3 thinkers out of the hype cycle and into honest dialogue.

In our latest installation 002, @natashaghoskins of @BoysClubWorld reminds us: in Web3, relationships matter more than reach. 🧵 @natashaghoskins @BoysClubWorld Natasha calls for retiring “community” as a buzzword.

Real community starts with friendship, not metrics.

Evangelism isn’t a growth hack, it’s what happens when people care. 🤝

Security, from the first commit.

@octane_security, an AI-powered smart contract security platform, is now live on Avalanche, bringing continuous, real-time vulnerability detection directly into developer workflows.

Build faster. Launch safer 🔺 @octane_security In Web3, security often comes too late, as traditional audits typically occur at the end, when fixes are costly and timelines are tight.

Octane changes that by scanning every commit as you code, flagging issues instantly, and delivering feedback directly inside existing tools.
