ChatGPT has projected that Avalanche (CRYPTO: AVAX) could reach $28 by the end of 2028, after Ava Labs secured a role with an NYSE-affiliated platform for tokenized stocks. ChatGPT’s Avalanche price prediction also includes a $5 bear case and a $65 bull case, based on AVAX’s $8.62 price.
Ava Labs announced that Avalanche will provide the core ledger technology for the clearing firm of an upcoming NYSE-affiliated platform for tokenized securities on November 9, pending regulatory approvals. A clearing firm ensures that both parties in a trade fulfill their payment and delivery obligations. Tokenized securities are stocks and similar assets recorded as blockchain tokens.
As of November 11, AVAX trades at $8.57, up 3.1% in 24 hours after dipping below $8 on November 8. However, AVAX has lost 15.5% over the last 30 days. So how much influence could the NYSE deal have on ChatGPT’s 2028 price outlook?
ChatGPT Puts Avalanche Between $5 and $65 by the End of 2028
In its bearish scenario, ChatGPT suggests AVAX could fall to $5, down 42% from its starting price of $8.62. This outcome assumes that institutional projects fail to generate significant trading volume, the NYSE-affiliated platform faces delays or chooses a different path, and a prolonged crypto bear market keeps the token down.
The $28 base case represents a potential gain of 225%. For this scenario to play out, the platform must launch and attract more tokenized-securities businesses to Avalanche, and the overall market must recover. ChatGPT estimates that around $10 of this base price, or about 36%, is tied to the NYSE deal. If the platform fails to launch or attract enough volume, the model lowers its base case to $18.
In a bull scenario, Avalanche could reach $65, a 654% increase. It relies on Avalanche emerging as a leading settlement network for tokenized securities, with other institutions joining in, in a strong bull market. Settlement refers to the final step in a trade, when ownership and funds are exchanged.
At the starting price of $8.62, 1,000 AVAX would cost $8,620. The table below shows what that holding could be worth by the end of 2028, before fees, taxes, or staking rewards.
| Scenario | AVAX Price | Value of 1,000 AVAX | Gain or Loss |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bear | $5 | $5,000 | $3,620 loss |
| Base | $28 | $28,000 | $19,380 profit |
| Bull | $65 | $65,000 | $56,380 profit |
However, an increasing supply of Avalanche tokens makes each of these prices harder to reach. There are 445.8 million AVAX in circulation, with a hard cap of 720 million, so new tokens can keep entering the market. At $28, the current supply alone would have a market value of about $12.5 billion, compared with $3.8 billion now. AVAX hasn’t traded above $28 since October 2025, when it reached a monthly high near $32.
The NYSE-Affiliated Platform Still Needs Regulatory Approval
While the NYSE deal represents about 36% of ChatGPT’s base case, the platform has no confirmed launch date, and it still needs regulatory approval. After Wall Street tested Avalanche for continuous tokenized trading in September, AVAX rose to around $12 on October 6 before slipping below $8 by November 8, suggesting investor enthusiasm quickly faded.
Even so, the market for tokenized stocks is growing fast. Ondo puts their total value at about $4.8 billion, up from $485 million a year earlier. Avalanche is already making progress, with BlackRock (NYSE: BLK | BLK Price Prediction) choosing Avalanche for tokenization work and Dubai’s courts using it to record court orders.
ChatGPT’s bull scenario needs Avalanche to handle about $50 billion a year in tokenized-securities settlements by the end of 2028. ChatGPT notes that the $4.8 billion is a market value and the $50 billion is a yearly volume, so the two figures aren’t directly comparable. Nonetheless, tokenized trading needs to keep growing rapidly for two more years.
ChatGPT’s Outlook Improves if AVAX Climbs Back Above $10
ChatGPT estimates a 65% likelihood that AVAX ends 2026 below its starting price. However, the model’s outlook could turn more positive if AVAX climbs back above $10, 16.7% above its price, and holds that level as Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) stabilizes.
AVAX’s 50-day moving average is around $10, while its 200-day average runs just below $8. AVAX trades between the two, so the 200-day average may provide support, but selling pressure arises whenever the price approaches $10.
ChatGPT’s scenarios top out at $65, well below $100. The model estimates a 25% chance that AVAX could exceed $50 before the close of 2028, a rise of about 480% from the starting price. AVAX’s all-time high is $145, recorded on November 21, 2021.
Avalanche’s partnerships haven’t halted AVAX’s downward trend, either. The token has declined 49.6% over the past year and 30.4% in 2026. ChatGPT’s main concern is that Avalanche could succeed as infrastructure without AVAX getting all the economic benefit, and a deeper look at AVAX as an investment covers the trade-offs.
What Could Avalanche Be Worth by 2028?
AVAX looks unlikely to reach $28 by the end of 2028. The NYSE-affiliated platform first has to clear regulatory approvals and launch, and then AVAX has to climb back above $10 and hold there while Bitcoin steadies. After that, AVAX still has to clear $17, its one-year high from November 11, 2025, about 98% above its price.
So does this Avalanche price prediction hold up? AVAX looks more likely to end 2028 between $5 and $28 than near $65. The first check comes on December 31, when a yearly close above $10 could add weight to the base case, while a close below $8 could bring the bear case closer.
