📊 Market Note: INJ – 5/23

• The day of the Avalanche Rush announcement led to a 28% gain for the AVAX token, followed by a nearly sixfold surge in price over the subsequent three months.
• This success didn’t go unnoticed, prompting other L1 platforms to launch similar programs in an attempt to replicate Avalanche’s success.
• We explored the impact of such programs for Fantom, Harmony, NEAR, and Injective.
• Injective Protocol will have to bootstrap organic activity and demand for it to continue its momentum, or else it too will likely meet the fate of its cousins.

• Voltz is a non-custodial interest rate swap protocol on Ethereum and Arbitrum.
• IPOR Labs is building an IRD ecosystem consisting of the IPOR index, IPOR AMM, and asset management contracts centered around the IPOR rate — a crypto-native spin on the LIBOR and SOFR indices.
