A significant AAVE whale, previously liquidated during the October 11 market downturn, has resumed accumulating AAVE through leveraged loans since November 24. The whale's address now holds 333,000 AAVE, valued at approximately $62.6 million, with an average acquisition cost of $167 per token. Concurrently, Multicoin Capital has been purchasing AAVE through Galaxy Digital OTC, amassing 338,000 AAVE, worth about $65.3 million. These strategic acquisitions indicate a potential structural buying interest in AAVE, a leading on-chain lending protocol that dominates the DeFi lending market with 87% of Ethereum-based lending revenue. Analysts highlight Aave's financial structure, including revenue predictability and token buybacks, suggesting the protocol is entering a mature phase with a robust long-term value proposition.
