Ladies, I checked my AAVE position today, and it dropped nearly 90% from its peak, almost made me puke.
But after cooling down and taking a closer look at the fundamentals, I increasingly feel that this price is a bit outrageous.
Aave's current TVL is $12.8 billion, the top DeFi lending protocol, no doubt about it. They've racked up $2.2 billion in fees, still pulling in a steady $1 million daily. This is data from a bear market.
Today, the founder Stani directly stated that V4 aims to capture the Wall Street securities financing market. Do you know how big that market is? The U.S. repo market alone has a daily balance of $12.6 trillion with $1.3 trillion in guaranteed financing. He’s not just talking big; V4 is already exploring connections with Circle's Arc chain.
Last week, Aave withstood an $8.45 billion concentrated withdrawal, with utilization soaring to 100% but didn't collapse. The founder said this proves the protocol's resilience. Grayscale's latest report gives a target price of $175, and it's only at $75 right now.
95% of the tokens are already in circulation, so there’s almost no unlocking sell-off pressure. The bug bounty for V4 has increased fivefold, showing how much the team values the new version.
When it dropped 88% from its ATH, that was precisely the time to take a serious look at the fundamentals.
