What is Avantis?

Avantis is the largest DEX (Decentralized Exchange) on the Base network for trading Real-World Assets (RWA). Unlike most other perps DEXs that focus on native crypto assets, Avantis takes a step further by presenting real financial products such as Forex (USD/JPY, Turkish Lira), Gold, Oil, and equity indices like S&P 500 (SPY) and Nasdaq (QQQ).

Since its launch, Avantis has recorded over $20 billion in cumulative trading volume, with $1.5 billion coming from RWA products. This underscores the increasing demand for trading real-world assets on-chain.

Additionally, Avantis is the first DEX on Base to introduce Zero-Fee Perpetuals (ZFP), making it one of the main innovators in the on-chain derivatives space.

Why is Avantis called 'The RWA Hyperliquid'?

The term 'Hyperliquid' here indicates that Avantis is not just a perps DEX, but a universal leverage layer for the global RWA market. In other words, Avantis aims to be the core infrastructure for trading assets worth trillions of dollars that previously only existed in the TradFi market.

Several key achievements:

✅ $12 billion+ volume only in the last 3 months

✅ $8 million Series A funding from Pantera Capital & Founders Fund

✅ Doxxed team with a background in Coinbase & TradFi

✅ Fastest Tier-1 listing rollout post-TGE: Coinbase, Binance, Bybit, Upbit, Bithumb

This pace of expansion shows Avantis' strong positioning, both institutionally and retail.

Market Performance & Momentum $AVNT

Since the TGE on September 9, 2025, the $AVNT token has surged more than 700% from the post-launch low (~$0.20) to reach $1.58.

The main driving factors for this momentum are:

Massive listing on Coinbase, Binance, Bybit, Upbit, and Bithumb — something rare for DEX tokens.

The increasingly attractive RWA narrative for investors, especially due to the market potential that is 1000x larger than just native crypto assets.

Institutional validation: becoming the first perpetual DEX token to list on Coinbase since 2021.

With an FDV of around $1 billion, Avantis still has a significant valuation gap compared to competitors:

Hyperliquid: $54 billion FDV (~55x higher)

Robinhood: $102 billion market cap (~100x higher)

This means that the potential for Avantis' valuation rerating is still very open.

Product Expansion & Technology

Avantis does not stop only at FX, commodities, and indices. Its long-term vision is to open access to perpetual trading for global equities such as Tesla ($TSLA), Nvidia ($NVDA), and Coinbase ($COIN).

Several technological innovations currently underway:

Zero-Fee Perps with limit order – making the trading experience more efficient.

Pyth Lazer Oracles – enabling sub-second settlement.

Flashblocks – almost instant transaction finality.

Base Mobile App Integration – potential integration with the Base mobile app, similar to the Aero & Morpho ecosystem.

Moreover, Avantis also strengthens the community by sharing 100% of LP fees with liquidity providers, as well as opening buyback options in the future.

Avantis vs Competitors: Playing a Different Game

Most current perps DEXs are competing for market share in traditional crypto assets (BTC, ETH, altcoins). Avantis takes a different path: expanding the game to the RWA market.

With market targets in FX, commodities, and equities, Avantis is directly playing in an arena worth over $100 trillion+, not just in the relatively small crypto market.

This makes Avantis not just a competitor to Hyperliquid or dYdX, but a creator of a new category: The RWA Hyperliquid.
