Though there was a spike in on-chain activity, Avalanche price was subjected to selling pressure across exchanges. 

The token has posted 13.5% losses over the past week. Avalanche hit its all-time high above $144 a month ago. The token enables near-instant finality and scalability for its ecosystem, attracting users to the platform.
