But what has driven this development activity and social volume? There have been several announcements so far this week that are likely behind the above results. Among these factors is a recap of how demand for native Bitcoin (BTC) grew on the Avalanche network in June 2022.

Additionally, Avalanche has teamed up with Chinese internet giant Tencent to pursue opportunities on WEB3. According to the announcement, Avalanche will provide Tencent developers with access to subnets and rapid node development.
Avalanche also rolled out its new developer framework called the HyperSDK this week. This will make it easier for developers to quickly develop custom virtual machines, reducing the complexities of development processes.

How did AVAX respond?

AVAX price action at press time was characterized by lower volatility. Despite this, its trend has shown relative strength above the 50% level of the RSI. Its MFI is down slightly from this week’s high, confirming some outflows.

Bearish expectations, as seen in weighted sentiment, failed to produce a sizable move. Instead, the same metric has changed and now indicates that bullish sentiment is brewing.
