Avalanche (AVAX) makes a striking climb, surpassing rivals like Bitcoin Cash and Polygon, to become a top-10 cryptocurrency by market cap. With a 150% jump in USD value this year, largely in the past month, AVAX's performance outshines many, including a notable rise against Bitcoin. This surge is part of a broader rally in alternative layer-1 networks, with Avalanche's recent involvement in JPMorgan's Project Guardian highlighting its potential.
