In this episode of Onchain, Honestly!, Kaisa and Alenka speak with Laine Litman, COO of Avalanche Treasury Co. (AVAT), about AVAT’s strategy and the business case for institutional blockchain adoption.\nWe discuss AVAT’s approach to holding and staking AVAX, its ambitions for broader involvement in the Avalanche ecosystem, and what institutions need to consider before choosing a blockchain. Drawing on examples from California’s DMV, Broadridge, and FIFA, Laine explores how blockchain fits into everyday operations and why early infrastructure choices can create costly migration work later.\n\n—\nLaine Litman LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laine-litman-ab143014/ \nLaine Litman X: https://x.com/Laine_Litman\nAVAT: https://www.avat.com/  \nAlea Research: https://alearesearch.io/ \nAlea Research X: https://x.com/AleaResearch \nSpotify: \nApple:\nAlenka X: https://x.com/alenka_on_x \nAlenka LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alena-shmalko/ \nKaisa X: https://x.com/kaisakaisa_ \nKaisa LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kaisa-k-4aa212194/ \n—\nDISCLAIMER: This Content is Provided Solely for Informational and Educational Purposes.
