AAVE is the governance and utility token of the decentralized lending protocol Aave, one of the largest DeFi platforms where users can lend, borrow, and stake crypto without intermediaries.
The token is trading around $125–$130 USD, well below its 2021 all‑time high near $667, reflecting long‑term altcoin market pressure.
Recent price action has been relatively sideways within an ~$108–$114 range, as broader market risk‑off sentiment caps sharp directional moves in mid‑cap tokens.
Short‑term gains — including a 13% upswing in one session — have been tied more to macro relief rallies and altcoin rotation than Aave‑specific news.
Fundamental upgrades such as V4 security hardening and expansion of real‑world asset markets aim to strengthen Aave’s protocol and long‑term token utility.
Technical sentiment remains mixed: holding above key support could spark further tests of recent highs, while breakdowns would likely see extended sideways trading.
