Avalon Labs has successfully raised $10 million in a Series A funding round to enhance its bitcoin-based stablecoin, USDa.
USDa is built on the bitcoin blockchain and is designed to maintain a stable value pegged to the U.S. dollar. Stablecoins like USDa offer a reliable alternative for users looking to transact without the risk of volatility.

With the value of bitcoin surpassing $100,000, Avalon Labs is well-positioned to play a significant role in the evolving cryptocurrency landscape.
