As per the tweet, the blockchain’s value stood at 5.2 million, which was a drop of nearly 34% from last week. On one hand, Avalanche C-chain’s maximum TPS observed declined by 57% last week, and on the other hand, its gas usage plummeted by over 5%.
It was interesting to note that while the blockchain’s network activity dropped, its staking ecosystem witnessed a boost last week.
AVAX’s staking ratio exceeded 56%, while its staking rewards reached 7.87% last week. As per staking rewards, AVAX’s staking market cap reached $3.77 billion after registering a spike of over 16%.
A major reason behind the AVAX staking ecosystem’s growth was the token’s bullish price action.

How much are 1,10,100 AVAXs worth today?
A look at AVAX’s daily chart pointed out quite a few bullish indicators. For example, the MACD displayed a bullish edge in the market. Its Money Flow Index (MFI) went upward and was resting well above the neutral mark of 50.
However, Avalanche’s Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) looked concerning as it registered a downtick, which could restrict AVAX’s price from rising in the coming days.
