Scrolled the trending list this morning and it's the usual circus — ANSEM, RAVE, PENGU, a few tickers that are basically someone's username. And then sitting quietly in the same row:
$AAVE . That's the part nobody's talking about.
Here's my take, and it goes against the grain. Everyone treats the boring name on that list as filler while they chase the meme lottery tickets above it. I think that's backwards.
$AAVE is one of the few things trending right now that actually has a working product people use every day — not a story that lives or dies on a single tweet. The memes pump because attention rotates in, and they fade the second it rotates back out.
I'm not saying the penguins won't run — they probably will, for a bit. I just find it more interesting that a name with real usage somehow needs the meme crowd's leftover attention just to show up on the same board. Worth watching which one's still there next week.
