is a token ready to explode. Aave’s market value has erupted to more than $300 for the first time in the past three years.
Furthermore, reported in a recent tweet by Santiment, AAVE has witnessed a massive drop in its mean dollar invested age. This massive drop comes as the major whales pump the stagnant tokens back into circulation.
📈 As several altcoins grow today, AAVE has erupted to a market value of over $300 for the first time in over 3 years. Pay attention to projects that have massive drops in “Mean Dollar Invested Age” like AAVE. This indicates major key stakeholders are moving previously stagnant… pic.twitter.com/VmywKxRTzh

Further, this additional liquidity is fueling the bullish momentum. Over the past 30 days, the token’s average return has been 33%, and the number of active traders has increased by 109% over the past 365 days.
The average age of the Aave coin has dropped from 635 to 537 days in just seven weeks. This is a massive moment in the whale holdings. As the average age declines, common sense dictates a longer bull run.
In conclusion, with the growing interest in rising financial funds backed by Donald Trump and the increasing on-chain whale movements, altcoins, especially DeFi tokens, are ready for an explosive move ahead.
