AAVE Token Surges 6.13% Amid $51M Funding Vote, Developer Departure and Mantle Integration

AAVEUSDT experienced a notable 6.13% price increase over the last 24 hours, currently trading at 122.98 on Binance, attributed primarily to heightened governance activity surrounding a $51 million funding proposal for Aave Labs and the confirmed departure of core developer BGD Labs from the Aave DAO. These events, coupled with the recent integration with Mantle Network and increased community focus on leadership transition, have contributed to significant trading volume and renewed interest, reflected in a 24-hour volume exceeding $380 million and a market cap near $1.8 billion. The asset traded between 115.88 and 122.98, with market sentiment cautious as the community awaits the outcome of the funding vote and future protocol developments.
