What happened
For the week ending September 23, 2026, Avalanche jumped 50% and Ripple climbed 22%, both outpacing Bitcoin's 14% gain. However, both cryptocurrencies are currently pulling back slightly. An unconfirmed decision by Intercontinental Exchange regarding Avalanche technology introduces major market uncertainty.

Why it matters
The market performance of Avalanche is complicated by Intercontinental Exchange testing its technology for tokenized US stock offerings. This testing introduces operational risk to the exchange and affects the market dynamics of the competing digital assets.
The Securities and Exchange Commission sued Ripple over unregistered security claims. In response to this legal uncertainty, Coinbase suspended XRP trading and Kraken pulled XRP listings.
