Crypto Recap
Avalanche Weekly Recap| Apr 11 – Apr 17, 2022
This week’s news is headlined by Avalabs’ successful fundraising of $350 million at a valuation of $5.25 billion. However, it appears as though money is being withdrawn from the market at a time when Bitcoin’s price is not so stable. Nonetheless, the projects are still under development, and there are frequent updates accessible. This is a good time for projects to expand their development and provide new features to users.

Spotlight Projects
Top Gainers and Losers
The top 5 gainers this week is likely to bring in some fresh faces. Most projects have a low capitalization and a strong growth rate in the situation of falling bitcoin prices.
Yeti Finance
Yeti Finance is an interest-free decentralized borrowing protocol built on Avalanche that allows users to borrow up to 11x against their entire crypto portfolio: LPs tokens, staked assets, and base tokens.
The native stablecoin of Yeti Finance worth $1 USD, YUSD, is backed by a wide basket of yield-bearing collateral deposited in the Yeti Finance protocol. Users can trade $YUSD for other assets, contribute to a liquidity pool, or farm the $YUSD stability pool on Yeti Finance, earning $YETI in the process.
The project was officially launched on April 16 and was a success, generating $500 million in TVL on the first day and getting a retweet from Avalanche. That is quite a remarkable statistic.
Kingdom Quest
Kingdom Quest is a blockchain-powered casual gaming bundle. The games will be accessible for PC and mobile devices (Both Android and iOS). All in-game characters, items, and currencies will be available to players as NFT and tokens. Players will be able to recruit heroes and lead them in combat against the evil dimension in Kingdom Quest. The ultimate goal of the heroes and players is to bring peace to the entire Kingdom.
Recently, the project has prospered from several partnerships, and nft sales have begun. This appears to be a notable play-to-earn game in the Avalanche ecosystem.
