Amidst the crypto market volatility and bearish trend lately, Avalanche (AVAX), the widely acclaimed layer-one blockchain, has been making moves to harden its position in the Web3 space.

According to the latest market data, AVAX’s price has stabilized above the $30 mark after experiencing a heavy crash. The bearish crash has had AVAX drop significantly, but in the last 24 hours, it has found stability and has gained 5.64% as of writing, easing the overall AVAX market drop. The token currently holds a 7.07% drop over the last seven days and a 30% drop over the last 30 days. With a market cap of $12.4 billion, AVAX ranks as the 12th largest crypto, reflecting its growing supremacy in the digital asset space.

Avalanche’s recent integration with the financial technology giant Stripe has been celebrated as an influential step towards promoting wider adoption and bridging the gap between traditional finance and the decentralized finance (DeFi) world. This strategic partnership enables Stripe’s U.S. business users to easily purchase AVAX directly on the platform, opening up new avenues for transacting with the native token, decentralized applications (dApps) and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) within the Avalanche ecosystem.

The move follows Stripe’s announcement to resume crypto transactions on its platform by allowing users to transact with the USDC stablecoin. By integrating Avalanche’s native ecosystem wallet, Core, Stripe has further expanded its crypto offerings, catering to the growing demand for Web3 solutions.

If AVAX faces rejection at this critical support level, it could recover and rally to test the recent high of $39, potentially breaching the imbalance above it and reaching the ascending channel resistance around $46, which it previously broke down from. However, if the price breaks down past the $30 support, it could drop to test the lower level around $21.
