Aave's emergency rescue initiative, DeFi United, has successfully raised over 132,000 ETH, equivalent to more than $3 billion, surpassing the previously estimated $160 million shortfall. Notable contributions include 30,000 ETH from ConsenSys founder Joseph Lubin, while Circle has bolstered the market by purchasing AAVE tokens. Bitcoin spot ETFs have experienced net inflows for nine consecutive days, totaling $2.1 billion, marking the longest streak since 2025. BlackRock alone accounted for nearly $1 billion in inflows last week, highlighting strong institutional interest. In other developments, a Galaxy Digital-linked address deposited 15,000 ETH into exchanges, closely monitored by on-chain tracking, and Strive increased its Bitcoin holdings to 14,557 BTC, reflecting ongoing institutional accumulation.
