The AAVE token, which is tied to Aave, reached its highest mark in several months during Monday’s trading. It surged to over $330 before retreating to around $316, reflecting an 8% increase over the weekend.

As the DeFi sector gains momentum amid a wider cryptocurrency rally, Bitcoin has achieved new heights, surpassing $120,000.

Aave remains a leading entity in DeFi lending, having recently surpassed $50 billion in deposits on its protocol.

The platform is also anticipated to be significantly impacted by advancing U.S. regulations for cryptocurrencies, experts assert. According to 21Shares,

“Aave is the largest lending platform in decentralized finance (DeFi), and it could be a major winner from the GENIUS Act.”

Currently, Aave represents 5% of the overall stablecoin supply, more than any other DeFi protocol. The platform issues its own overcollateralized stablecoin, GHO, which boasts a supply of $312 million.

Aave is also positioned to capitalize on increased institutional involvement and tokenization trends, planning to introduce its Horizon project, allowing institutions to utilize tokenized real-world assets as collateral to borrow stablecoins.
