Users can build customizable sidechains that they can then use to bring real value onchain with instant finality. This has attracted some big global companies, including Citi and FIFA. As we <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/citibank-and-state-street-step-into-digital-assets-custody\/\">reported<\/a>, Citi has been testing the Spruce Subnet on Avalanche for tokenizing private equity funds. FIFA has built a custom network known as the FIFA Blockchain, migrating its NFTs from Algorand and Polygon, as CNF <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/fifa-to-build-its-own-blockchain-with-avalanche-partnership\/\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>VanEck\u2019s director for digital asset products, Kyle DaCruz, commented:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Avalanche\u2019s architecture is uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between traditional finance and the on-chain economy, focusing on verifiable, real-world utility. We\u2019re excited to launch VAVX to provide investors with a transparent, exchange-traded vehicle to access a network that we believe will drive the next phase of institutional blockchain adoption.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>Avalanche Targets Wall Street<\/h3>\n<p>With the new ETF, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/avalanche-avax-in-2025-speed-subnets-and-the-future-of-blockchain\/\">Avalanche<\/a> joins other top blockchain networks whose tokens are now available to Wall Street via ETFs. Bitcoin and Ethereum are the pioneers, with BTC ETFs now holding over 1.3 million tokens, accounting for 6.2% of the total supply. This figure could rise even further if Nasdaq obtains the SEC\u2019s approval to lift position caps, as CNF <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/nasdaq-sec-lift-bitcoin-ether-etf-caps\/\">detailed<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Emin Gun Sirer, the founder of Ava Labs, the company behind the development of the Avalanche blockchain, said he is proud to join pioneers whose blockchain projects have landed at Nasdaq.
