Why Aave is up 8.9% today
Analysis
Aave (AAVE) rose 8.9% over the past 24 hours likely on optimism around potential institutional access after Grayscale filed to convert its AAVE token trust into an ETF that would list on NYSE Arca, a development that can improve perceived legitimacy and accessibility for the asset. Sentiment also appeared supported by governance-related headlines that Aave Labs is seeking a $50M grant and proposing to redirect product revenue to the DAO, which investors may view as strengthening the DAO’s value capture.
