Today in crypto, Avalanche emerged as the fastest-growing blockchain, recording a 66% increase in transactions over the past week, reaching 11.9 million transactions and 181,300 active addresses. This growth is attributed to the US government's adoption of Avalanche technology and renewed interest surrounding ETF filings linked to its native token, AVAX. In related news, a report from the US Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) disclosed that US banks facilitated $312 billion for suspected Chinese money launderers between 2020 and 2024, overshadowing the $189 billion in illicit crypto volumes over the same period. Meanwhile, the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced a framework enabling offshore crypto exchanges to legally serve US clients, enhancing market liquidity and global access for American investors.
