Aave: Stani Kulechov Flags $150M Net Revenue

Aave founder Stani Kulechov told @CryptoMichNL that DeFi protocols have shifted from experimentation to generating real revenue, posting nearly $150 million in net revenue while processing hundreds of millions in transparent liquidations during the latest Bitcoin and altcoin drawdown.

The protocol now operates as background machinery that sustains itself across cycles, moving toward on-chain finance that banks may eventually adopt directly, with real-world asset tokenization positioned to finance energy and compute infrastructure.

ETH price prediction models must account for current 4h structure where price at $1873.77 sits inside Bollinger Bands testing upper resistance at $1891.41 against lower support at $1835.49, with EMA50 at $1877.85 acting as immediate resistance and EMA200 at $1831.09 providing deeper floor; MACD golden cross at -3.42 signals building momentum even as RSI at 51.03 remains neutral, suggesting a potential pullback to the 50-EMA before continuation higher amid Ethereum L2 scaling trilemma concerns.
