Weekly Market Update

Introducing Five New Perpetual Contracts on Gemini’s Derivatives Platform: AVAX/GUSD, DOGE/GUSD, DOT/GUSD, LINK/GUSD, LTC/GUSD

We are delighted to announce support for another blockchain network, __Avalanche (AVAX)__, further expanding Gemini’s list of supported networks!

[__AVAX is now available for trading__](https://www.gemini.com/prices/avalanche) on our API/FIX and ActiveTrader applications for USD trading pairs, and on the Gemini Mobile App and website for USD, GBP, EUR, CAD, SGD, HKD, and AUD pairs!* 

Support for Avalanche further bolsters our compatibility across the blockchain ecosystem, marking another exciting milestone on our crypto journey. Avalanche is an open-source proof-of-stake (PoS) platform for creating custom blockchain networks and decentralized applications (dApps). Built by Ava Labs, Avalanche is one of many platforms leveraging [smart contract](https://www.gemini.com/cryptopedia/glossary#smart-contract) technology. 

[Avalanche’s network infrastructure](https://www.gemini.com/cryptopedia/avax-coin-avalanche-crypto-ava-labs#section-avalanche-crypto-network-architecture) is built to enable modular blockchains that are scalable and interoperable with other entities on the Avalanche blockchain. The project aims to build increasing connectivity to Ethereum and the wider blockchain ecosystem. AVAX, Avalanche’s native token, is the network’s unit of account, and is used for paying transaction fees and for staking in Avalanche’s consensus process.

With the addition of Avalanche, Gemini is now compatible with 11 blockchain networks, including: [Bitcoin (BTC)](https://www.gemini.com/prices/bitcoin), [Ethereum (ETH)](https://www.gemini.com/prices/ether), [Solana (SOL)](https://www.gemini.com/prices/solana), [Litecoin (LTC)](https://www.gemini.com/prices/litecoin), [Bitcoin Cash (BCH)](https://www.gemini.com/prices/bitcoin-cash), [Zcash (ZEC)](https://www.gemini.com/prices/zcash), [Filecoin (FIL)](https://www.gemini.com/prices/filecoin), [Dogecoin (DOGE)](https://www.gemini.com/prices/dogecoin), [Tezos (XTZ)](https://www.gemini.com/prices/tezos), and [Polkadot (DOT)](https://www.gemini.com/prices/polkadot).

Gemini supports more than 120 tokens! Learn more about [all the tokens we support for trading and/or custody here](https://www.gemini.com/prices).

We look forward to supporting new crypto projects on our mission to unlock the next era of financial, creative, and personal freedom.

Onward and Upward!
