Why Aave is up 12.3% today
Analysis
Aave (AAVE) rose 12.3% over the past 24 hours as investors reacted to Grayscale’s filing to convert its AAVE token trust into an ETF that would list on NYSE Arca, a development that can be viewed as a step toward broader market access (The Block). Sentiment also appeared supported by reports that Aave Labs is pursuing a $50M grant and a “token-centric” plan aimed at redirecting product revenue to the DAO, which traders may interpret as strengthening DAO-linked value capture (Cointelegraph; AMBCrypto).
