Key reasons behind AVAX’s rally

The AVAX price has been on a roll since Ava Labs CEO Emin Gün Sirer announced a tie-up with “Big Four” accounting firm Deloitte on Nov. 16.

Earlier this November, Avalanche supporters also launched a new fund called Blizzard, which received an impressive $220 million in seed investing from such contributors as Three Arrows Capital, Dragonfly Capital and CMS Holdings.

On top of that, Tether, the top stablecoin, announced support for the Avalanche blockchain last Wednesday.
