Why Aave is up 5.5% today
Analysis
Aave (AAVE) rose about 5.5% over the past 24 hours despite governance-focused headlines, as markets appeared to absorb news that core technical contributor BGD Labs plans to cease involvement with the Aave DAO. Cointelegraph reported the contributor’s planned exit, while AMBCrypto framed it as part of a broader governance dispute, but the price action suggests traders treated the update as manageable in the near term rather than an immediate protocol risk.
