According to @EmberCN, a whale or institution accumulated $136 million worth of WBTC and ETH over the last six days using a recursive lending loop across OKX, Bybit, and Aave (source: @EmberCN). According to @EmberCN, the entity withdrew WBTC and ETH from OKX and Bybit, deposited them into Aave as collateral, borrowed USDT, moved the USDT to Bybit, and repeated the cycle to withdraw additional WBTC and ETH (source: @EmberCN). According to @EmberCN, the accumulation includes 918.6 WBTC within the six-day window, with further ETH acquired via the same loop method (source: @EmberCN).

According to @cas_abbe, Aave currently has about $4.7B in looped ETH positions while the stETH market trades only roughly $200–250M per day, signaling a liquidity mismatch if forced unwinds occur, source: @cas_abbe. He warns that large-scale liquidations could overwhelm stETH market depth, triggering a chain reaction across ETH/stETH positions and causing severe slippage, source: @cas_abbe. For trading strategy, this points to elevated liquidation cascade risk on Aave-linked ETH/stETH collateral; traders should track Aave health factors, the stETH-ETH discount, and on-chain liquidity to manage exposure, source: @cas_abbe.

According to @cas_abbe, Aave and other lending protocols assume 1 stETH equals 1 ETH for collateral purposes because users can ultimately redeem stETH for ETH after a waiting period (source: @cas_abbe on X). According to @cas_abbe, stETH often trades at a slight discount to ETH in secondary markets, creating a stETH/ETH basis that diverges from the 1:1 collateral assumption (source: @cas_abbe on X). According to @cas_abbe, this market discount is the second key reason in his analysis and is relevant for traders evaluating borrowing power and potential liquidation dynamics when using stETH as collateral (source: @cas_abbe on X).

According to @cas_abbe, a once-popular ETH DeFi looping trade has ended (source: @cas_abbe). The strategy staked ETH on Lido to receive stETH, used stETH as collateral on Aave to borrow ETH, restaked the borrowed ETH, and repeated to amplify yield, functioning as effectively free money while borrowing was cheap (source: @cas_abbe).

According to @cas_abbe, Justin Sun closed an ETH leverage loop of nearly 600M USD on Aave in July, causing ETH borrow rates to spike, the stETH to ETH price to slip by about 0.3 percent, and looping yields to collapse, signaling immediate stress for leverage-driven carry trades. source: @cas_abbe According to @cas_abbe, the move prompted many whales to exit similar positions, highlighting fragile liquidity and tighter borrowing conditions for ETH and stETH on Aave that reduce carry returns for traders. source: @cas_abbe

According to @MilkRoadDaily, Robinhood mirrors DeFi verticals across trade aggregation, leveraged trading, lending, borrowing, and staking, positioning its offerings alongside leading onchain categories that traders track (source: @MilkRoadDaily on X, Aug 16, 2025).

According to Bobby Ong, traders bullish on ETH are weighing which instrument delivers the best leveraged exposure, making it essential to compare liquidity, costs, and risk across venues (source: Bobby Ong on X). Regulated futures: CME lists Ether futures and options that are cash-settled and funding-free but introduce a term-structure basis that can be earned or paid depending on curve shape (source: CME Group). Centralized exchange perpetual swaps offer deep liquidity and flexible leverage but charge funding that fluctuates with sentiment and add exchange counterparty risk (source: Binance Futures). ETH options provide convex upside with defined risk via calls or call spreads, shifting the focus to implied volatility and skew rather than funding rates (source: Deribit). On-chain leverage via stETH or wstETH loops on Aave amplifies exposure and yield but adds liquidation, LST depeg, and variable borrow APR risks (source: Aave; source: Lido). Decentralized perps enable self-custody leverage with on-chain settlement but have funding and liquidity/oracle risk trade-offs versus CEX perps (source: dYdX). Leveraged tokens offer auto-rebalanced exposure without margin management but suffer rebalancing decay, suiting short-term momentum rather than long-term holds (source: Binance Leveraged Tokens). In practice, regulated and funding-free leverage is often achieved with dated CME futures, while short-term momentum traders may favor liquid perps, and vol-focused traders can use long-dated calls or call spreads to cap downside (sources: CME Group; Binance Futures; Deribit).

According to @MilkRoadDaily, AAVE is trading above $280 as of Aug 8, 2025, more than doubling from their August 2024 call at $128 (source: @MilkRoadDaily on X, Aug 8, 2025). The post frames this move as a reminder that risk/reward can favor protocols that continue building, positioning AAVE as a DeFi outperformer in this cycle (source: @MilkRoadDaily on X, Aug 8, 2025). For context, Aave is a leading DeFi lending protocol and AAVE is its governance and staking token, which traders often monitor for sector momentum (source: Aave documentation).

According to @MilkRoadDaily, Aave is the largest DeFi application with total value locked of $36B and processed $365B in volume over the past 30 days; the source adds that Aave pioneered onchain lending, invented flash loans, and notes the protocol is still growing (source: @MilkRoadDaily).

According to @MilkRoadDaily, Aave earns revenue by taking a portion of borrower interest, charging a 0.09% fee on every flash loan, and collecting liquidation fees (source: Milk Road @MilkRoadDaily, X, Aug 8, 2025). According to @MilkRoadDaily, the protocol currently averages about $2M in weekly revenue, underscoring multiple fee-driven income streams relevant to AAVE fundamentals and DeFi investors (source: Milk Road @MilkRoadDaily, X, Aug 8, 2025). According to @MilkRoadDaily, traders can track borrow rates, flash loan volume, and liquidation activity on Aave as direct inputs to protocol revenue under this fee model (source: Milk Road @MilkRoadDaily, X, Aug 8, 2025).

According to @MilkRoadDaily, AAVE is now trading above USD 280 after an initial call at USD 128. According to @MilkRoadDaily, Aave holds a treasury of USD 228M and generates USD 108M in annualized revenue, which the source characterizes as the protocol "thriving." Based on figures from @MilkRoadDaily, the move from USD 128 to above USD 280 implies roughly a 118 percent gain, and traders referencing @MilkRoadDaily’s cited price may treat the USD 280 zone as a key level for momentum tracking.

According to @lookonchain, as ETH crossed 4,000, wallet 0xaf6c bought 1,390 WETH for approximately 5.56M. source: @lookonchain It then deposited the 1,390 WETH into Aave, borrowed 52.83 WBTC valued around 6.17M, and swapped that WBTC for 1,539 WETH worth about 6.17M, effectively increasing ETH exposure versus BTC. source: @lookonchain The swap leg implies an average execution near 4,010 per ETH based on 6.17M for 1,539 WETH, a trading-relevant level for monitoring large wallet flows and spot liquidity. source: @lookonchain

According to @MilkRoadDaily, MetaMask has partnered with Aave to integrate stablecoin yield functionality directly into the MetaMask wallet, enabling users to earn yield on their stablecoins without navigating multiple DeFi platforms. This streamlined access to DeFi yield products could increase stablecoin adoption and liquidity, impacting DeFi token valuations and trading volumes as users consolidate yield-generating activities within MetaMask. Source: @MilkRoadDaily.

According to @ai_9684xtpa, a smart money wallet known for previously buying low and selling high with WBTC for a $14.26 million profit has reportedly sold 38,582 ETH in the past week, valued at $138 million. If these sales are realized, the profit would be $36.57 million. The wallet, possibly institutional, has withdrawn 77,700 ETH ($202 million) from Kraken since the start of 2024 at an average price of $2,600. As of now, it still holds 25,054 ETH, mostly deposited in Aave. Such substantial movements by large holders and institutions can indicate upcoming volatility and liquidity shifts in the ETH market, making this a key signal for traders. Source: @ai_9684xtpa

According to @EmberCN, asset management platform Nexo redeemed 48,321 ETH (worth $183 million) from Ether.fi and transferred the funds to Binance four hours ago. In a related move, another address withdrew 20,000 ETH ($75.56 million) from Binance within the last three hours and deposited it into Aave. These large on-chain transactions could signal significant institutional positioning or strategy shifts, potentially impacting ETH liquidity and volatility in the short term (source: @EmberCN). Traders should monitor ETH price action and on-chain flows for further developments.

According to @ai_9684xtpa, smart money wallet 0xCE7...ec0a4 reportedly liquidated its holdings of 1401 ETH and 6826 AAVE five hours ago, valued at a total of $7.17 million. If sold, the wallet would net a profit of $951,000. The ETH position was accumulated at an average price of $2872 and deposited at $3752, projecting a gain of $1.232 million. Conversely, the AAVE position, built at $321.7 and deposited at $280.54, is expected to incur a $291,000 loss. This large-scale move by a prominent wallet could signal potential volatility and influence trading sentiment for both ETH and AAVE in the short term. Source: @ai_9684xtpa.

According to @lookonchain, Konstantin Lomashuk borrowed 85 million USDT from Aave and transferred 80 million USDT to Amber Group. Amber Group then deposited the funds into exchanges and withdrew 15,814 ETH, valued at approximately $59.75 million, from the exchanges. This large-scale transaction may signal significant buying interest in ETH and could impact short-term ETH price volatility, offering potential trading opportunities for those monitoring on-chain flows and whale activity.

According to @ai_9684xtpa, a crypto whale known for holding long positions on both Aave and Hyperliquid has added 224.82 WBTC, valued at approximately $26.6 million, to their holdings. This latest purchase increases the whale's total long position on Bitcoin (BTC) to $135 million. The entire position is currently showing an unrealized profit of $5.621 million. On the Aave platform specifically, the entity has collateralized 700.19 WBTC to borrow $40.25 million in stablecoins, maintaining a healthy loan-to-value ratio with a health factor of 1.61. The Aave portion of the position alone accounts for $1.592 million in unrealized profits.

According to @lookonchain, a crypto whale with the address 0x3E38 has realized over $5 million in profit from aggressive Bitcoin long positions. The entity established a long position on BTC by purchasing 475 Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), valued at $56 million, through borrowing on the Aave protocol at an average price of $115,733 per token. In addition, the whale opened a separate 10x leveraged long position for 434.6 BTC, worth $51.6 million, on the decentralized perpetuals exchange Hyperliquid. These strategic high-leverage trades indicate strong bullish sentiment from a significant market participant.

According to @ai_9684xtpa, a crypto whale with address 0x3e3...1140c is maintaining a significant bullish stance on Bitcoin (BTC), holding a combined position worth $91 million across Aave and Hyperliquid. This strategy has reportedly generated an unrealized profit exceeding $4.223 million. On the Aave platform, the trader has implemented a leveraged long strategy over the past two months, collateralizing 342.21 Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) to borrow $20 million in stablecoins. This specific Aave position shows an unrealized profit of $963,000 and maintains a health ratio of 1.57, as per the source. Concurrently, the whale holds a 10x leveraged long position on Bitcoin via the Hyperliquid platform, further amplifying their bullish bet.

According to @EmberCN, a major Ethereum whale has been aggressively accumulating ETH using a leveraged strategy. The entity recently received 7,487 ETH (worth $28.15 million) from Cumberland, then proceeded to deposit the ETH into Aave to borrow 7.5 million USDT, which was used to purchase an additional 1,989 ETH. This activity is part of a larger accumulation pattern over the past five days, during which the whale has acquired a total of 32,953 ETH, valued at $117 million, at an average price of $3,552. The total accumulation includes 11,003 ETH received directly from Cumberland and on-chain purchases made with 76.54 million USDT. This significant leveraged buying pressure from a large holder could indicate a strong bullish conviction for Ethereum's short-term price action.

According to Michaël van de Poppe, AAVE is showing significant strength and is currently consolidating within what he describes as an accumulation range. He identifies 2900 satoshis (sats) as a critical breakout level for the AAVE/BTC pair. If AAVE successfully breaks through this resistance, he anticipates a substantial upward movement, projecting a new high in the range of 4500 to 5000 sats.

According to Michaël van de Poppe (@CryptoMichNL), upcoming technical analysis charts for several key altcoins, including Aave (AAVE), Ripple (XRP), NEAR Protocol (NEAR), and Ondo (ONDO), will be released. This announcement places these specific digital assets on the watchlist for traders awaiting his insights on potential price action and key trading levels.

According to @EmberCN, a significant whale or institution has made a substantial on-chain purchase of 18,557 Ethereum (ETH) for 64.04 million USDT over the past two days, at an average price of $3,451 per ETH. The entity initiated the trades by withdrawing 47.28 million USDT from platforms like Crypto.com and Cumberland. Furthermore, they employed leverage by collateralizing their ETH on the Aave protocol to borrow an additional 16.75 million USDT, which was then used to purchase more ETH. This strategic accumulation, involving leverage, suggests strong bullish sentiment from a major market player. It is estimated that this whale/institution now holds a total of approximately 38,000 ETH.

According to @ai_9684xtpa, an on-chain analyst, a crypto whale with the address 0xC60...89F3f has executed a significant leveraged long position on Ethereum (ETH) over the past five hours. The whale accumulated a long position of 8,309.4 ETH, valued at $29.92 million, at an average entry price of $3,601.8. This was achieved on the Aave protocol by depositing 500 cbBTC and 7,950 WETH as collateral and borrowing 30 million USDT and 18 million USDC. The position currently maintains a healthy factor of 1.48, indicating a strong bullish stance from this large holder.

According to @ai_9684xtpa, the lending APY for USDT on the Aave protocol has surged to a six-month high of 16.01%. This sharp increase in demand for borrowing USDT is reminiscent of market conditions during the last Bitcoin (BTC) All-Time High in December of the previous year. The source notes that this trend is accompanied by a recent issuance of 1 billion USDT and a rise in Binance's USDT savings rate to 4%, suggesting that leveraged funds are positioning themselves for significant market moves.

According to @EmberCN, the entity known as Trend Research has transferred 48,900 ETH, valued at approximately $150 million, to Binance for a potential sell-off at an average price of $3,083. This move indicates significant selling pressure on Ethereum (ETH). Concurrently, the entity has repaid about $67 million USDT in loans on the Aave protocol. Despite this repayment, Trend Research still holds a remaining debt of $207 million and possesses approximately 133,000 ETH, worth around $423 million. Traders should monitor this whale's activity as further liquidations could impact ETH's market price.

According to @ai_9684xtpa, on-chain data reveals that an entity named Trend Research has deposited a total of 27,454.4 ETH into exchanges over the past 12 hours. This action is reportedly linked to the entity reducing its leveraged position on the Aave protocol to take profits. The source suggests that these deposits are happening in batches and are expected to continue, potentially indicating sustained selling pressure on Ethereum (ETH) in the near future.

According to @dydxfoundation, a report by analytics firm Artemis and Vaults.fyi reveals that the total value locked (TVL) in top DeFi lending protocols like Aave and Morpho has surged past $50 billion, marking a 60% growth over the past year. This expansion is reportedly driven by increasing institutional participation and the 'DeFi mullet' trend, where user-facing fintech applications embed DeFi infrastructure on the backend. For example, the report highlights that Coinbase's BTC-backed borrowing feature, powered by Morpho, has originated over $300 million in loans. The growth is also fueled by the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) and the rise of on-chain asset managers, whose capital under management has quadrupled from $1 billion to over $4 billion since January.

According to @QCompounding, a significant transformation is occurring in decentralized finance (DeFi), driven by institutional participation and the integration of DeFi as a backend financial layer. A report by Artemis and Vaults.fyi highlights that the Total Value Locked (TVL) in top lending protocols like Aave (AAVE), Euler, Spark, and Morpho has surged by 60% over the past year, approaching $60 billion. This growth is supported by the "DeFi mullet" trend, where fintech applications use DeFi infrastructure for services like loans and yield generation, exemplified by Coinbase's integration with Morpho for Bitcoin (BTC) backed loans, which has originated over $300 million. Furthermore, the evolution of Real-World Assets (RWAs) is creating new trading opportunities, moving from simple tokenized treasuries to complex structured products like tokenized reinsurance. The report also notes a fourfold increase in capital managed by crypto-native asset managers since January, now exceeding $4 billion, indicating a maturing ecosystem with sophisticated, scalable yield strategies for traders.

According to @StockMKTNewz, the cryptocurrency market is demonstrating resilience with strong institutional backing, even as traders await the Federal Reserve's upcoming rate decision. Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) have remained in a narrow trading range, with BTC's 50-day simple moving average providing strong technical support, as cited in the analysis. The broader market, represented by the CoinDesk 20 Index, gained 1.3%, with AAVE (+3.5%) and Hedera (HBAR) (+2.4%) as top performers, while Bitcoin Cash (BCH) fell 1.5%. Institutional adoption continues to be a key driver, highlighted by JPMorgan's crypto platform application and Strategy's purchase of over 10,100 BTC. Analytics from XBTO suggest a 'controlled de-risking' as capital consolidates rather than flees the market. Furthermore, research firm BRN expressed a 'high-conviction view' for prices to 'grind higher in 2025,' citing strong demand and weak selling pressure.

According to @CryptoMichNL, the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector is undergoing a significant transformation driven by institutional participation. A report by Artemis and Vaults.fyi reveals that the total value locked (TVL) in top DeFi lending protocols like Aave (AAVE), Euler, Spark, and Morpho has surged past $50 billion, marking a 60% increase over the past year. This growth is fueled by trends like the "DeFi mullet," where fintech applications use DeFi infrastructure on the backend. For instance, Coinbase's BTC-backed loans, powered by Morpho, have already originated over $300 million. Another key driver is the rise of on-chain asset managers, whose capital under management has quadrupled from $1 billion to over $4 billion since January. Concurrently, OP Labs, the builder of Optimism (OP), predicts that every crypto exchange and fintech firm will operate its own Layer-2 blockchain within five years, following the success of Coinbase's Base. This allows for the monetization of custodied assets and improved user experiences. Market data shows OPUSDT trading at $0.5280, down 5.714% in 24 hours, while AAVEUSDT is at $259.95, a 5.579% decrease.

According to @StockMKTNewz, shares of Nasdaq-listed Coinbase (COIN) surged 43% in June, establishing it as the top performer in the S&P 500 for the month. This significant rally, which pushed COIN stock to its highest level since its public debut, is largely attributed to a shifting investor focus towards stablecoin revenue, buoyed by legislative progress on the GENIUS Act for dollar-pegged stablecoins. The report highlights that Coinbase retains all yield from USDC balances on its platform, offering shareholders indirect exposure to Circle's revenue stream. However, traders should note that despite the stock's impressive performance, average daily trading volume on the Coinbase exchange has been declining since April. In the broader crypto market, a major index showed a 1.3% increase, with Aave (AAVE) leading gains at 3.5% while Bitcoin Cash (BCH) lagged with a 1.5% drop.

According to @MilkRoadDaily, the decentralized finance (DeFi) lending sector is undergoing a significant transformation, with the total value locked (TVL) across top protocols like Aave (AAVE), Euler, Spark, and Morpho approaching $60 billion, marking a 60% increase over the past year. A report by Artemis and Vaults.fyi attributes this growth to increasing institutional participation and the integration of DeFi as a backend financial layer for user-facing applications, a trend known as the "DeFi mullet." For instance, Coinbase's BTC-backed loans are powered by Morpho's backend, originating over $300 million in loans. Further signaling market maturation, crypto-native asset managers have seen their capital under management grow fourfold to over $4 billion since January. In a key development for traders, lending protocol Morpho has unveiled Morpho V2, which aims to bridge DeFi with traditional finance by introducing market-driven, fixed-rate, fixed-term loans with customizable terms, and support for portfolio collateral including real-world assets (RWAs).

According to @KookCapitalLLC, the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector is experiencing a significant transformation, with total value locked (TVL) in top lending protocols like Aave and Morpho surging 60% over the past year to nearly $60 billion. A report from analytics firm Artemis and Vaults.fyi attributes this growth to increasing institutional participation and the integration of DeFi as a backend layer for user-facing apps, a trend known as the "DeFi mullet". For instance, Coinbase's integration with Morpho has originated over $300 million in Bitcoin (BTC) backed loans. The report also highlights the rise of on-chain asset managers, whose capital under management has quadrupled from $1 billion to over $4 billion since January, and the growing use of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs). In specific market events, the Polyhedra protocol's ZKJ token plummeted over 80% following what the team described as a coordinated liquidity attack on PancakeSwap. The Polyhedra team responded by injecting approximately $30 million in USDT, USDC, and BNB to stabilize liquidity and announced an upcoming buyback plan. Other significant developments include JPMorgan piloting a permissioned USD deposit token (JPMD) on the Base network and the U.S. Senate passing a stablecoin bill with strong bipartisan support, signaling potential shifts in the regulatory landscape.

According to @CryptoMichNL, the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by institutional adoption rather than speculative yields.

According to Milk Road, Maple's institutional lending platform has experienced a dramatic 10x increase in active loans, surging from $36 million at the start of 2025 to $377 million as of June 2025 (source: Milk Road, June 22, 2025). This rapid growth positions Maple as a leading institutional DeFi lending protocol, comparable to Aave but focused on institutional clients. The spike in institutional usage signals increasing adoption of on-chain credit markets and could drive liquidity and volatility in related DeFi tokens. Traders should monitor Maple's TVL and lending volume as key indicators for DeFi market trends and potential spillover effects into other major protocols.

According to Mihir (@RhythmicAnalyst), AAVE has reached a significant support level, marking a key decision point for traders. This support area is crucial as it could determine whether AAVE (AAVE/USD) experiences a rebound or a further decline. Traders are watching this technical level closely to assess potential long or short positions, as a break below could trigger additional downside, while a bounce might signal a reversal opportunity (Source: Twitter/@RhythmicAnalyst, June 22, 2025).

According to The Data Nerd (@OnchainDataNerd), whale address 0xAaf deposited 1,690 ETH (worth approximately $4.54 million) and 4.5 million USDT to Binance just one hour ago. If the ETH is sold at current market prices, the whale would incur a small loss of around $280,000, as these ETH holdings were accumulated last year at an average entry of about $2,801 per ETH. This sizable transfer to Binance may indicate potential selling pressure on Ethereum in the short term. Additionally, the whale still holds 42.22 million USDS in AAVE and 1,212 ETH, suggesting a diversified portfolio but a possible shift in risk allocation. Traders should monitor ETH price action and Binance order books closely for signs of increased volatility or downward momentum. Source: @OnchainDataNerd on Twitter.

According to @0xLoki, HTX has withdrawn $800 million USDT from Aave on the Ethereum chain and transferred the entire amount to TRON, causing a significant liquidity crunch on Aave. Currently, Aave's available USDT liquidity is under $20 million, driving deposit rates to 17.6% and borrow rates to 20%. This presents a unique arbitrage opportunity for traders to capitalize on elevated rates. The move highlights shifting stablecoin flows and DeFi yield dynamics, directly impacting crypto lending markets and creating volatility for trading strategies (source: @0xLoki, Twitter).

According to @twitter source, HTX executed a $500 million USDT transfer from Ethereum to Tether and subsequently received the same amount on the TRON network (source: @twitter). This cross-chain movement means the funds will not be re-entering Aave’s lending pools on Ethereum in the short term, which could sustain higher USDT interest rates for arbitrage traders on DeFi platforms (source: @twitter). Traders should monitor USDT yield fluctuations and cross-chain liquidity shifts as these transitions may affect DeFi market opportunities and stablecoin lending rates.

According to @EmberCN, arbitrage funds initially increased Aave's available liquidity by depositing USDT to capitalize on high interest rates, but just 10 minutes ago, another $100 million USDT was withdrawn from Aave. As a result, the USDT deposit rate on Aave has soared to 24% and the borrowing rate to 27.5%. Notably, HTX has withdrawn a total of $700 million USDT from Aave in the past three hours. These large withdrawals signal significant volatility and liquidity shifts in the DeFi lending market, potentially affecting USDT's stability and trading strategies across major crypto exchanges (Source: @EmberCN on Twitter, June 9, 2025).

According to @EmberCN, HTX withdrew 600 million USDT from Aave today, causing Aave's USDT deposit rate to surge to 19.5%. This mirrors a similar event on June 5, when HTX pulled 570 million USDT, temporarily spiking USDT borrowing rates to 30% and prompting rapid inflows from arbitrage traders seeking yield opportunities. The rates normalized after HTX redeposited the funds a few hours later. Traders should monitor large whale movements on lending platforms, as such actions can quickly alter DeFi yield environments and create short-term arbitrage opportunities.

According to Lookonchain, two major whale wallets executed significant purchases totaling 29,739 AAVE ($7.5M) today. Wallet 0x372c borrowed $5M USDC from Aave and acquired 19,608 AAVE 11 hours ago, raising its holdings to 280,673 AAVE ($69.44M). Meanwhile, wallet 0xeBb4 borrowed $2.5M GHO to buy 10,131 AAVE, now holding 120,513 AAVE ($29.8M). These large, leveraged acquisitions highlight rising whale confidence and could trigger increased volatility and liquidity in AAVE markets, impacting short-term trading strategies and supporting bullish sentiment in the broader DeFi and crypto trading landscape (Source: Lookonchain via Twitter, June 6, 2025).

According to The Data Nerd, whale address 0x372 executed significant leveraged activity on AAVE, borrowing $5M USDC 11 hours ago, transferring it to Wintermute, and accumulating 19,608 AAVE tokens. The whale supplied these AAVE tokens back into AAVE, continuing to loop and ultimately amassing a total of 280,674 AAVE (valued at approximately $69.66M) while borrowing a total of $32.22M USDC. This aggressive looping and collateral strategy signals high conviction in AAVE price stability and liquidity, and may increase volatility or impact lending rates for AAVE and USDC pairs in the DeFi ecosystem. Traders should closely monitor this address and AAVE liquidity pools for potential liquidation risks or sharp price movements. Source: The Data Nerd (@OnchainDataNerd, June 6, 2025).
