The Avalanche token, AVAX is now the tenth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalisation after more than doubling in price since the start of November. In doing so, its circulating market valuation reached $30.60 billion for the first time compared to Dogecoin's $30.30 billion.

Avalanche, one of the largest Decentralised Finance (DeFi) blockchains, reached a record $144.96. Its market value surged after creator Ava Labs last week announced a partnership with Deloitte to build more efficient disaster relief platforms.

Avalanche has doubled in the past 30 days and is up over 3,000% over a year.

A big consulting firm stepping into blockchain technology highlights how mainstream the digital world is becoming. As per the Deloitte press release, it has formed a strategic alliance with technology firm Ava Labs in an attempt to enable a new disaster recovery platform that uses the Avalanche blockchain to help the state and local governments easily demonstrate their eligibility for federal emergency funding.

Using the Avalanche blockchain, the cloud-based platform will provide state and local officials with a decentralised, transparent and cost-efficient system that empowers both grant makers and funding recipients while minimising fraud, waste and abuse, the press release highlighted.

The Avalanche Foundation said in September it had raised $230 million from a private sale of the tokens, with participants including Polychain and Three Arrows Capital, who also supported the $200 million-plus Blizzard fund announced several weeks ago to foster development on Avalanche.

Notably, Bitcoin plunged by nearly 20% from its record high of $69,000, and Ether, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap and Avalanche's top competitor, slipped by 19% from its all-time high at around $4,867.However, it has not impacted AVAX over the past week.
