The price of AAVE, the governance token for the leading lending protocol Aave, has been on an uptrend since July 5. Currently trading at $115.80, it has reached its highest level in the past three months.
With a growing bullish bias toward the coin, AAVE is poised to extend these gains.
Aave Records a Series of Multi-Month Highs
AAVE’s trading session on Thursday saw a series of multi-month highs, with Santiment reporting the altcoin’s daily active addresses reaching their highest level since March. On that day, 1,029 unique addresses completed at least one trade involving AAVE.
This surge in network activity, coupled with a 9% price rally in the past 24 hours, signals a bullish trend. This has been further fueled by the launch of Aave V3.1 across all networks with active Aave V3 instances on July 31.
When an asset sees a spike in its daily active addresses, it signals increased network activity and user engagement. This often correlates with high trading volume, which can positively impact the asset’s price.
On-chain data shows a 95% uptick in AAVE’s trading volume in the past 24 hours. As of this writing, the token’s daily trading volume totals $335 million, representing its highest since March 6.
Further, AAVE has received increased attention from whales in the past few days. In a post on X, on-chain sleuth Lookonchain noted that in the two days that preceded the launch of Aave 3.1, whale addresses accumulated 58,848 AAVE tokens valued at approximately $7 million at current market prices.
