Additionally, a notable demand from retail investors has fueled the continued rally despite other digital assets including Bitcoin lagging.

Avalanche (AVAX) Market Setup and Its Way to ATH
Avalanche and its mainnet were launched in September 2020, a time when the DeFi ecosystem fueled and led the crypto bull market. The ecosystem prides itself on having the fastest, low-cost, and eco-friendly blockchain.
Notably, the ecosystem records 4,500 transactions per second, compared to Polkadot with 1,500 tps, Ethereum 14 tps, and Bitcoin with 7 tps. The high transaction throughput combined with energy efficiency and thousands of node validators makes the Avalanche eco-system scalable and the best place for developers to launch a competitive decentralized financial ecosystem.
From a technical standpoint, the AVAX token is ready to venture into the price discovery zone in the next coming weeks. Notably, the asset strongly retested its ATH set previously and is currently using it as a support level.
Should the buyers outrun the sellers as observed in the past few weeks, AVAX is set to set a new ATH soon.
The future of the AVAX token and its growth prospects remains in its ability to convince developers of a better market than other smart contract ecosystems. Notably, the Ethereum ecosystem by far commands the largest DeFi ecosystem including Uniswap among others.
