Ava Labs Says NYSE Parent ICE Has Tested Avalanche for a Year

The significance here is less the test itself than who is running it: a major exchange group spending a year on Avalanche's stack signals that tokenized securities infrastructure is being evaluated at the incumbent level, not just among crypto-native venues. The absence of a formal selection keeps this firmly in pilot territory, and the stated gap — connecting to existing trading systems — is the same integration problem every RWA platform faces. Whether ICE converts a year of testing into an actual platform decision is the open question.
