AVNT recorded a price rise of 43.3% over the last 24 hours, recovering 78% from the bottom despite continuing sales pressure from recent airdrops.
Avantis aired Avnt tokens on September 9 at a starting price of $0.488, but the tokens were lowered due to immediate sales activities from AirDrop recipients seeking liquidity.
The sale created opportunities for capitalised purchases by smart money traders. Nansen’s data shows that it provides useful addresses over the last 24 hours.
The token reached $0.371 each day on September 10th after bottoming at $0.208 during early trading hours.
Leadership in basic ecosystems
The recovery may reflect the dominant position of Avantis as the largest decentralized permanent exchange at the base.
According to data from Defillama, the protocol won a trading volume of $4.6 billion during August, accounting for 39.3% of all permanent volumes of the base that month.
The base is consistently ranked among the top 10 chains of monthly permanent trading volumes in 2025, regularly outperforming $10 billion trading activity except in May.
Furthermore, the base is the largest Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain, with a total value locked nearly $5 billion (TVL). This infrastructure provides Avantis with a robust foundation for generating protocol revenue and user recruitment.
Defillama estimates Avantis’ annual fee is $14.3 million, with the protocol raising $1.22 million in August alone. Price measures protocol activity.
Additionally, Avantis’ total value is locked (TVL) increased 66% in 2025, up from $13.5 billion at the start of September 10th to $22.4 billion. Following the market bottom in April, TVL’s growth accelerated, with 112% up from $1.053 billion.
These metrics combine base volume leadership with consistent fee generation to provide basic support for AVNT price recovery.
The accumulation of smart money during airdrop selloff suggests trust from profitable traders on the basis of Avantis to support AVNT price action.
