AVAX Continues Its Climb After J.P. Morgan Embraces Blockchain

The price of Avalanche (AVAX) is still climbing after the cryptocurrency had an extremely successful week in the market. The well-known trader and analyst Dan Gambardello also pointed out the token’s continued rise in one of his latest X posts. In fact, Gambardello believes AVAX’s success could be a “sign for altcoin bull continuation.”

Yesterday, AVAX saw a notable 14% upswing in its price after it was announced that the banking giant J.P. Morgan used the blockchain to tokenize portfolios. J.P. Morgan’s Onyx division collaborated with Apollo Global and the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s Project Guardian in a proof-of-concept project using an Avalanche subnet.
