Why Aave is up 1.4% in the last hour
Analysis
Aave (AAVE) rose 1.4% over the past hour as traders reacted to reports about a key technical contributor stepping back from the Aave DAO. Cointelegraph reported that a core contributor (BGD) will cease involvement with the DAO, while AMBCrypto framed it as part of a broader governance strain tied to BGD Labs’ planned April exit—news that can prompt short-term repositioning and volatility despite negative long-term implications.
