Avalanche (CRYPTO: AVAX) must increase roughly 12 times to hit $100, a level it last traded above in April 2022, when its monthly high reached $104. Recent news of a new NYSE-affiliated tokenized stock deal has brought the coin back into focus. So can Avalanche reach $100 within the next five years?
As of November 13, 2026, AVAX trades around $8, up 0.9% over the past week, while Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) has dropped 9.3%. The longer trend looks worse. AVAX has dipped 2.2% over the last 14 days and 16.6% over the past month, and it trades 94.3% below its all-time high of $145. Over the past year, it has moved between a high of $16 in November 2025 and a low of $6 in June.
At $100, Avalanche Would Be Worth Almost as Much as Solana
Moving AVAX from about $8 to $100 requires a gain of approximately 1,106%. A coin’s market cap is its price multiplied by its circulating supply, so with 446.4 million AVAX in circulation, a $100 price would equal a market value of about $44.6 billion.
Avalanche is valued at about $3.7 billion and ranks 25th in the crypto market. At $100, it would rank just below Solana (CRYPTO: SOL), which is worth about $47.1 billion and ranks seventh. That means Avalanche would need to pass most of the cryptocurrencies above it.
However, supply growth complicates the climb. The total supply of AVAX already stands at 471.4 million tokens, with a hard cap of 720 million, and if every capped token were in circulation, $100 would imply a total market value of $72 billion. So reaching $100 in 2031 takes a much bigger network than it did in 2022.
Avalanche Has Signed Wall Street Deals That Barely Moved AVAX
On November 9, Ava Labs announced that Avalanche will provide the core ledger for the clearing firm of an upcoming NYSE-affiliated tokenized securities platform, pending regulatory approvals. A clearing firm makes sure both parties in a trade deliver their cash and shares. The platform is designed for around-the-clock trading, clearing, and settlement, although a launch date has yet to be confirmed.
Despite the announcement, the market’s reaction was muted. AVAX fell below $8 on November 8 but crept back to nearly $9 by November 11, as ChatGPT’s 2028 forecast after the NYSE deal noted. In September, Wall Street’s testing and the Helicon upgrade drove AVAX up 55% within four days, but it slipped 8% once the upgrade went live.
Tokenized assets, which include stocks, funds, and bonds recorded as blockchain tokens, are also growing on Avalanche. BlackRock (NYSE: BLK | BLK Price Prediction) added its tokenized cash fund to Avalanche in November 2024, and the total value of real-world assets on the network has passed $2.1 billion. However, Avalanche hasn’t reported any fee revenue from these funds, and fund tokens that stay in one account generate no fees, as a comparison of BlackRock’s and Franklin Templeton’s picks explained.
Avalanche ETF Demand Has Stalled, and Forecasts Top Out Below $100
As of November 12, spot AVAX ETFs, funds that own AVAX and trade like stocks, held $46 million in net assets, with cumulative net inflows of $30.6 million, according to SoSoValue. Those inflows peaked at $31.6 million in October, but outflows of about $433,000 and $841,000 since then have outstripped a $227,000 inflow. By contrast, Solana’s ETFs manage $1.16 billion.
ChatGPT’s forecast from November 11 puts AVAX at $5 in a bear scenario, $28 in a base case, and $65 in a bull scenario by the end of 2028. Even in its most optimistic scenario, AVAX still falls short of $100.
While AVAX has gained 32% over the past 90 days, it remains down 48.1% over the past year. A look at what Avalanche has to prove that Solana already did covers the adoption gap, and a look at Avalanche after its 94% drop lays out both sides of the investment case.
Can Avalanche Reach $100 in Five Years?
It appears unlikely that AVAX will reach $100 by 2031. First, the NYSE platform must win approval and launch on schedule, and settlement volume has to burn large amounts of AVAX. After that, ETF inflows have to resume. Before AVAX can aim for $100, it must recover its 50-day average near $10, 21% above its price, and then clear its September 2025 high of $36, 334% above.
Until AVAX clears $36, $100 remains distant, and ChatGPT’s $28 base estimate, still more than three times the price, looks more realistic. If the NYSE platform faces delays or ETF outflows continue, AVAX could slide toward its June low near $6, 28% below. At the December 31 close, a finish above $10 could support a recovery, while a close below the 200-day average near $8 could signal weakness.
