So much great information was talked about on this stream and it’s awesome to hear the Bitwise research team breakdown their reasoning for heavily investing in avalanche-2:native
Why is Bitwise's research team, both on-chain and institutional, bullish on Avalanche?
It comes down to structure.
🎙️ Ryan Rasmussen, Head of Research: "Avalanche has a very unique structure as opposed to other L1s, and we think that has positioned Avalanche very well for being one of the leading platforms for moving into the next stage of crypto adoption."
🎙️ Kam Benbrik, Research for Onchain Solutions: "They're more focused on the institutional side of the business, and we're seeing very interesting traction in the Avalanche ecosystem."
The example? Progmat, one of Japan's largest tokenization platforms, backed by major Japanese banks, chose to build their own Avalanche L1.
Why?
→ Near-instant finality (transactions settle in under 2 seconds)
→ Permissioned validator sets (institutions know exactly who's securing the network) → EVM compatibility
→ Native cross-chain messaging into the broader Avalanche ecosystem
Avalanche isn't competing on TPS marketing. It's quietly becoming the infrastructure institutions actually want.
