Avalanche ($AVAX) has recently regained its position among the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, following its Avalanche9000 upgrade. The upgrade has coincided with increased adoption, particularly highlighted by a significant launch in Web3 gaming with the platform Play Off The Grid. Monthly transfer volumes on the Avalanche network, specifically for the AUSD token, are set to exceed $1 billion for the first time in November, marking a doubling of volumes month over month. Analysts and industry participants are expressing optimism about Avalanche's potential, with some suggesting it could be a 'sleeping giant' in the crypto space as it continues to innovate and expand its utility compared to other cryptocurrencies such as $XRP, $ADA, $DOGE, $TRX, and $BNB.
