AAVE (AAVE) Price, Analysis, Predictions, and Calculator

According to @ai_9684xtpa, Arthur Hayes deposited 7.66 million BIO to Binance, valued at about $460,000, two days after his prior transfer, with the move flagged by the source as a suspected sell, source: @ai_9684xtpa on X; Arkham Intel entity: intel.arkm.com/explorer/entity/arthur-hayes. Over the past week, the same labeled wallet reportedly offloaded roughly $3.409 million in altcoins across multiple channels, including LDO, UNI, AAVE, ENA, and ETHFI, source: @ai_9684xtpa on X citing Arkham Intel at intel.arkm.com/explorer/entity/arthur-hayes.

According to PeckShieldAlert, an Aave whale address 0xdaf5...3f55 was liquidated for 7.83 million USD amid a continued market downturn, bringing total liquidations tied to the wallet to roughly 9 million USD; the position was long WBTC used as collateral to borrow USDT (source: PeckShieldAlert). The liquidation follows Aave’s process where liquidators repay the borrower’s USDT debt and receive WBTC collateral at a discount, which can add near-term sell pressure to WBTC markets during deleveraging phases (source: Aave Protocol Docs). The event underscores active deleveraging risk for WBTC-backed loans on Aave during price drawdowns, relevant for traders tracking on-chain liquidity and liquidation cascades (source: PeckShieldAlert; source: Aave Protocol Docs).

According to @PeckShieldAlert, an Aave whale address 0xd2a...2ec6 was liquidated for a total of $3.88M during the market downturn, with losses from $1.58M in ETH and $2.30M in LINK posted as collateral to borrow USDT, source: @PeckShieldAlert. The liquidation confirms on-chain forced unwinds of ETH and LINK collateral against USDT debt totaling $3.88M, source: @PeckShieldAlert.

According to @PeckShieldAlert, an additional $11.41 million liquidation struck Aave whale address 0x94de...940a after BTC fell to around $80,000. source: @PeckShieldAlert The position involved a long WBTC used as collateral to borrow USDT, bringing cumulative liquidations to $20 million. source: @PeckShieldAlert In Aave liquidations, liquidators seize collateral to repay debt plus a bonus, which can lead to short-term sell flows in the collateral asset such as WBTC during unwind events. source: Aave documentation

According to @lookonchain, the #66kETHBorrow whale purchased 57,725 ETH worth $162.77M on Nov 21, 2025, bringing holdings to 432,721 ETH valued at $1.21B, source: @lookonchain. The address has borrowed a total of $602.6M in stablecoins on Aave, source: @lookonchain.

According to @PeckShieldAlert, as BTC fell below $87K, an AAVE whale address (0x94de...940a) with a long WBTC position was liquidated, source: @PeckShieldAlert. The position used WBTC as collateral to borrow USDT, resulting in a $8.59M liquidation, source: @PeckShieldAlert.

According to @OnchainLens, the "66,000 Borrowed Whale" bought $162.77M in ETH from Binance and supplied it to Aave V3 (source: @OnchainLens).

These nine-figure ETH flows highlight significant on-chain liquidity movements across Binance and Aave V3 that traders tracking ETH lending and exchange activity may monitor (source: @OnchainLens for flow data).

According to @ai_9684xtpa, a WBTC whale that looped long via Aave has begun deleveraging for the first time in six months. Source: @ai_9684xtpa on X, Nov 20, 2025. According to @ai_9684xtpa, the address withdrew a cumulative 700.19 WBTC from Binance between May–July 2025 at an average long price of $116,593, totaling about $81.63M. Source: @ai_9684xtpa on X, Nov 20, 2025. According to @ai_9684xtpa, three hours ago the wallet deposited 150 WBTC to Binance; if sold at current levels the position would realize a $3.734M loss.

According to @EmberCN, a whale who used a looping-loan strategy to accumulate WBTC and ETH sold 9,516.8 ETH for $29.36M USDT at an average price of $3,085 to repay debt on Aave (source: @EmberCN on X). The address cut its Aave borrowings from $150M to $121M and lifted its health factor from 1.04 to 1.12, moving the account above the immediate liquidation threshold of 1.0 on Aave (source: @EmberCN on X; source: Aave Docs). The position still holds 1,560 WBTC as collateral on Aave, indicating sizeable on-chain exposure to monitor for further balance changes (source: @EmberCN on X). On Aave, positions are eligible for liquidation when the health factor falls below 1.0, so the rise to 1.12 indicates temporary relief from forced selling risk tied to protocol mechanics (source: Aave Docs; source: @EmberCN on X).

According to @stonecoldpat0, traders are asking why Aave has dominated on-chain lending; as of October 2024, Aave’s TVL was over $10B versus roughly $2B for Compound, highlighting a persistent market share gap, source: DeFiLlama. A key driver is Aave v3’s E-Mode, which raises LTVs for highly correlated assets like stETH/ETH to boost capital efficiency and borrowing activity, source: Aave v3 documentation (E-Mode). Aave’s Isolation Mode enables listing of more collateral while capping risk per asset, attracting broader integrations and deposits without compromising systemic safety, source: Aave v3 documentation (Isolation Mode). Multi-chain expansion across major L2s and the Portal feature for cross-chain liquidity have widened Aave’s liquidity funnel relative to Compound, source: Aave v3 documentation and Aave Portal documentation. Additional fee lines from flash loans and the GHO stablecoin strengthen Aave DAO revenues and liquidity stickiness, supporting utilization and market depth, source: Aave Flash Loans documentation and Aave GHO documentation. By contrast, Compound v3 concentrates each market on a single borrow asset (commonly USDC) with slimmer collateral menus, reducing strategy surface area and cross-asset leverage relative to Aave, which has limited TVL expansion despite efficiency gains, source: Compound v3 documentation. For trading, track Aave fee flows, Safety Module staking, and GHO circulation as activity proxies, and watch Compound’s USDC utilization and reserves as gauges for parameter-driven dynamics affecting COMP governance outcomes, source: Aave Safety Module documentation, Aave GHO documentation, and Compound Protocol documentation.

According to @OnchainLens, a whale withdrew 60,000 ETH valued at $213.73M from Binance and deposited it into Aave V3, and the wallet now holds 326,902 ETH worth $1.16B (source: @OnchainLens; Arkham address 0xE5C248D8d3F3871bD0f68E9C4743459C43BB4e4c). According to Arkham’s transaction explorer, the on-chain path shows funds leaving Binance to the whale address and then moving into Aave V3 (source: Arkham). According to @OnchainLens and Arkham data, this flow shifts 60,000 ETH from a centralized exchange to a DeFi lending protocol for this wallet, a data point traders track when monitoring exchange supply and DeFi collateral flows (source: @OnchainLens; Arkham).

According to @OnchainLens, the whale borrowed an additional $90M USDT and bought 31,131 ETH (~$113M) on Binance, taking totals to 75,418 ETH (~$269.46M) purchased, 109,576 ETH (~$393M) supplied to Aave V3, and $190M USDT borrowed. According to @OnchainLens, these figures imply an on-chain LTV near 48% (190M debt vs 393M collateral) and an average Binance purchase price near $3,573 per ETH (269.46M divided by 75,418). According to @OnchainLens, the activity is tied to Arkham Intelligence explorer address 0xE5C248D8d3F3871bD0f68E9C4743459C43BB4e4c, which consolidates the wallet’s transfers. Based on the sequence reported by @OnchainLens, the loop of borrowing USDT, buying ETH, and supplying ETH to Aave V3 indicates a leveraged long structure that traders can monitor for changes in collateral and debt levels via the linked Arkham address.

Based on Aave documentation, borrowing USDT against ETH collateral to acquire additional ETH constitutes a leveraged long, and declines in ETH price reduce the health factor toward 1.0 and increase liquidation risk (source: Aave Docs). Based on Aave liquidation mechanics, monitoring this address’s Aave health factor and transfer activity offers visibility into position stability and potential forced-selling thresholds, with the reported $3,532.6 cost basis serving as a key reference level for traders (source: Aave Docs; source: @ai_9684xtpa; on-chain reference: Debank address 0xe5c248d8d3f3871bd0f68e9c4743459c43bb4e4c).

According to @OnchainLens, the ETH whale who previously borrowed 66K ETH to sell and later bought 257,543 ETH ($896M) during the dip appears to be rebuilding exposure, corroborated by Arkham wallet explorer data for address 0xE5C248D8d3F3871bD0f68E9C4743459C43BB4e4c (intel.arkm.com/explorer/address/0xE5C248D8d3F3871bD0f68E9C4743459C43BB4e4c). According to @OnchainLens and Arkham, recent transactions include depositing 34,156 ETH ($120.3M) into Aave, borrowing $60M USDT and sending it to Binance, buying 23,500 ETH ($82.62M) and supplying it to Aave V3, borrowing $40M USDC and sending it to Binance, and buying 20,787 ETH ($73.81M) and supplying it to Aave V3 (intel.arkm.com/explorer/address/0xE5C248D8d3F3871bD0f68E9C4743459C43BB4e4c). According to @OnchainLens and Arkham, this sequence totals 78,443 ETH supplied as collateral on Aave V3 and $100M in stablecoins moved to Binance, aligning with @OnchainLens’s characterization that the wallet is building its position again (intel.arkm.com/explorer/address/0xE5C248D8d3F3871bD0f68E9C4743459C43BB4e4c). According to @OnchainLens and Arkham, the prior accumulation of 257,543 ETH ($896M) provides scale context for traders assessing order book liquidity and potential flow impact from this ongoing activity (intel.arkm.com/explorer/address/0xE5C248D8d3F3871bD0f68E9C4743459C43BB4e4c).

According to Lookonchain, the whale who previously borrowed 66K ETH to sell later accumulated 257,543 ETH valued at $896M during the market dip. According to Lookonchain, the same address just deposited 34,156 ETH ($120.3M) into Aave, borrowed 60M USDT, and transferred the funds to Binance. According to Lookonchain, this flow is likely intended to buy more ETH.

According to @AltcoinDaily, a SmartCon 2025 NYC panel featuring Chainlink and Aave founders claims that institutions will 10x crypto and that DeFi will win, with the full discussion available on YouTube, source: @AltcoinDaily on X; source: YouTube vj6yAs9Tp7w. The announcement explicitly highlights BTC, ETH, LINK, and AAVE, directing trader attention to these assets in the institutional DeFi narrative, source: @AltcoinDaily on X.

According to @CryptoMichNL, traders should stop labeling everything as Altcoins and reserve the term specifically for memecoins (source: @CryptoMichNL on X, Nov 8, 2025). He states that tokens from building projects such as LINK, AAVE, and NEAR should be treated as crypto company tokens rather than Altcoins in his framework (source: @CryptoMichNL on X, Nov 8, 2025). For trading workflows, this classification separates memecoin baskets from project tokens like LINK, AAVE, and NEAR when organizing watchlists and peer groups (source: @CryptoMichNL on X, Nov 8, 2025). The post was published on Nov 8, 2025, signaling his current taxonomy for market communication and analysis (source: @CryptoMichNL on X, Nov 8, 2025).

According to @lookonchain, address 0x540C withdrew 114.9M USDT from Aave, pushing USDT utilization on the core market to 92.83%, above the 92% optimal utilization threshold (source: @lookonchain; source: Etherscan tx 0x8427fc1c91a133c02f10999c089806ebff0296bae4c875f07ed379b649ba8549). According to Aave documentation, when utilization exceeds the optimal level, the kinked interest rate model increases variable borrow APRs sharply and lifts supply APYs due to the higher post-kink slope (source: Aave Docs – Interest Rate Strategy). Based on @lookonchain’s reported 92.83% utilization, USDT borrowing costs on Aave should rise while USDT suppliers see higher yields under the model mechanics (source: @lookonchain; source: Aave Docs – Interest Rate Strategy). For traders, monitoring Aave’s USDT variable borrow APR, supply APY, and available liquidity can inform decisions to repay variable USDT debt or supply USDT to capture elevated yields in line with the documented rate model (source: Aave Docs – Interest Rate Strategy; source: @lookonchain).

According to @PeckShieldAlert, ETH falling below $3,200 triggered the liquidation of a whale’s long wstETH position on Aave, with approximately $23.44 million in wstETH liquidated across multiple transactions. According to @PeckShieldAlert, the address 0xa740...b5b6 had supplied wstETH as collateral to borrow USDT and USDC, and the breach of the $3,200 ETH price threshold activated liquidations on the Aave market.

According to @EmberCN on X, the ETH whale nemorino.eth sold 8,000 ETH at $3,609 after the overnight drop and repaid $24.83 million in USDC borrowings on Aave, fully removing leverage and realizing a $7.58 million profit (+98%). According to @EmberCN on X, the trader accumulated 10,914 ETH at a $2,946 average from May to October using looping loans starting with $7.7 million USDC. According to @EmberCN on X, the exit was motivated by concern over liquidation risk amid further downside. According to the DeBank wallet page for 0x8aecc5526f92a46718f8e68516d22038d8670e0d, the address activity aligns with the reported de-leveraging and Aave repayments.

According to Onchain Lens, an entity supplied $610.2M USDC to Aave V3, borrowed 66,000 ETH, and sent the ETH to Binance, citing Nansen data. According to Onchain Lens, the same entity has now withdrawn 20,021 ETH (about $78.15M) back to wallet 0xE5C248D8d3F3871bD0f68E9C4743459C43BB4e4c, with related activity tied to 0x85e05C10dB73499fbDeCAb0dfbB794a446feEeC8 and 0x6e9e81EfCC4CBff68eD04c4a90AeA33cB22c8c89, based on Nansen-tracked flows. According to Onchain Lens, ETH was around $4,032 when the 66,000 ETH was borrowed and is about $3,841 now, implying roughly a $12.6M mark-to-market difference on that notional. According to Onchain Lens, the 20,021 ETH withdrawal equals about 30.3% of the 66,000 ETH borrowed. According to Onchain Lens, the borrowed ETH notional at borrow time was approximately $266.1M, implying an initial collateral-to-debt ratio near 2.3x based on the $610.2M USDC supplied. According to Onchain Lens, traders can monitor addresses 0xE5C248D8d3F3871bD0f68E9C4743459C43BB4e4c, 0x85e05C10dB73499fbDeCAb0dfbB794a446feEeC8, and 0x6e9e81EfCC4CBff68eD04c4a90AeA33cB22c8c89 for subsequent exchange inflows or outflows to assess liquidity shifts, with movements sourced from Nansen data cited by Onchain Lens.

According to @ai_9684xtpa, Aave looping-long address 0xC26...7869C sold 2,500 ETH (about $9.67M) roughly 8 hours ago to reduce leverage (source: @ai_9684xtpa; on-chain view via DeBank). According to @ai_9684xtpa, the same wallet bought 2,989 ETH between Oct 13 and Oct 27 at an average price of $4,197, implying an estimated realized loss of about $820,000 on this sale (source: @ai_9684xtpa; DeBank). According to @ai_9684xtpa, the address still collateralizes 13,504.56 ETH and has borrowed $37.24M in stablecoins on Aave with a health factor of 1.16 (source: @ai_9684xtpa; DeBank). Positions on Aave become eligible for liquidation when the health factor falls below 1.0, making 1.16 a relatively narrow buffer by protocol design (source: Aave documentation).

According to @OnchainDataNerd, a large holder withdrew 12,100 AAVE (about $2.71M) from Binance roughly 9 hours ago, citing on-chain tracking of the address 0x0a0FA2B02aE73bD9eb4c1E086458099ECA42476e (source: @OnchainDataNerd on X). According to Arkham Intelligence, the same address currently holds 39,278 AAVE valued around $8.92M, with an unrealized loss of approximately $2.05M as referenced by the post and visible wallet data at https://intel.arkm.com/explorer/address/0x0a0FA2B02aE73bD9eb4c1E086458099ECA42476e (source: Arkham Intelligence, @OnchainDataNerd). Based on those figures, the implied current mark is about $227 per AAVE and the average entry price is about $279, reflecting roughly an 18.6% unrealized drawdown for the wallet (source: calculations from @OnchainDataNerd’s reported amounts). The 12.1k AAVE withdrawal equals about 30.8% of the wallet’s current AAVE holdings, a size traders may monitor by tracking subsequent flows on the Arkham Intelligence address page for potential changes in positioning (source: @OnchainDataNerd, Arkham Intelligence).

According to @EmberCN, a wallet suspected to be linked to Bitfinex collateralized 300,000 ETH (about $1.17B) on Aave and borrowed $500M USDT before transferring the funds, based on on-chain tracking.

According to @EmberCN, Sei’s recent official messaging centers on real‑world asset (RWA) collaborations with traditional asset managers including BlackRock, Apollo, Hamilton Lane, and Brevan Howard, positioning SEI to differentiate among L1s via tokenization strategy (source: @EmberCN). The approach described is to tokenize select funds managed by these firms and deploy them on Sei, enabling on‑chain investing, holding, and trading of those tokenized funds for users (source: @EmberCN). The author highlights that RWA’s key trading edge is DeFi composability—such as pledging tokenized fund positions to borrow while retaining fund yield—creating multiple structured yield paths (source: @EmberCN). To activate liquidity for these assets, Sei has introduced the lending protocol Morpho on Sei; Morpho reportedly holds $12B in user deposits and ranks third among lending protocols after Aave and Sky, setting the stage for on‑chain liquidity flywheel effects (source: @EmberCN). For traders, the setup implies watching for RWA listings on Sei, Morpho market utilization on Sei, and chain‑level liquidity/TVL traction as near‑term catalysts, as framed by the source (source: @EmberCN).

According to the source, implementing circuit breakers on-chain is complex because highly composable DeFi protocols can propagate pauses or failures across lending, DEX, and collateral loops, a systemic risk highlighted by the Bank for International Settlements in its analysis of DeFi interlinkages. Existing controls like Aave’s Emergency Admin freeze and pause functions and Compound’s Pause Guardian can disable specific actions but cannot halt cross-protocol liquidations or price formation, as documented by the Aave documentation and Compound documentation. MakerDAO’s system-wide Emergency Shutdown can stop operations but historically created settlement and liquidity challenges during March 2020’s Black Thursday, according to MakerDAO documentation and Maker governance postmortems. Oracle update thresholds and heartbeats, together with MEV-driven transaction ordering, make coordinated halts and fair resets difficult during fast markets, as described by Chainlink documentation and Flashbots research. Risk teams advocate dynamic parameter throttling over blanket halts to reduce liquidation cascades, which traders should monitor in governance proposals and risk dashboards, as noted by Gauntlet research.

Synthetix concentrated incentives and the v3 roadmap on Optimism (an Ethereum L2), progressively reducing emphasis on alt-L1 deployments, source: Synthetix SIPs and governance. Aave’s core markets continue to prioritize Ethereum and leading L2s (Optimism, Arbitrum, Base), anchoring major liquidity within the Ethereum ecosystem, source: Aave Governance. Ronin operates as an EVM chain bridged to Ethereum, enabling asset mobility and settlement routes via Ethereum bridges, which makes a return path operationally feasible, source: Ronin documentation. Historically, consolidation around Ethereum has coincided with rising L2 TVL and relative ETH strength versus select alt-L1 baskets, informing rotation trades, source: L2BEAT and DefiLlama. Traders should monitor ETH/BTC, L2 TVL on L2BEAT, chain TVL share on DefiLlama, Ethereum gas fees on Etherscan, bridge net flows on Dune or Nansen, and alt-L1 funding rates/open interest on major derivatives venues to gauge migration pressure and adjust positioning, source: L2BEAT, DefiLlama, Etherscan, Dune, Nansen, and exchange derivatives dashboards. Key risks include incentive relaunches on alt-L1s and governance outcomes that could delay or alter migration timelines, which have shifted rotation timing in prior cycles, source: project governance forums.

According to the source, large crypto holders are dumping Solana (SOL), Aave (AAVE), and Aster, which the source frames as smart money exiting and a caution signal for near-term trading sentiment.
