The post Aave DAO Proposes $50M AAVE Buyback as V4 Launch Approaches appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Zach Anderson Oct 23, 2025 22:50 Aave DAO suggests a $50 million annual buyback to support AAVE’s value amid the upcoming V4 upgrade, despite the token’s current downtrend. Aave DAO has introduced a strategic proposal for a $50 million annual buyback of its native token, AAVE, in a bid to enhance its market value. This initiative comes as the decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol gears up for the launch of its fourth version, Aave V4, according to CoinMarketCap. Buyback Strategy and Funding The buyback plan is structured to execute weekly purchases ranging from $250,000 to $1.75 million, fully funded by the protocol’s revenue. This initiative is designed to support the AAVE token’s value during a period marked by a price downtrend. Currently, AAVE trades near the $220 mark, navigating a descending channel. Despite this, momentum indicators hint at reduced selling pressure, although support levels between $135 and $150 might be tested if the downtrend continues. V4 Upgrade and Multi-Chain Features The buyback proposal aligns with the anticipated rollout of Aave V4, which introduces the Cross-Chain Liquidity Layer (CCLL). This feature is expected to enhance the protocol’s functionality by enabling multi-chain collateralization and borrowing, thereby expanding its reach and utility within the DeFi space. Market Context and Community Impact Aave’s decision to initiate a buyback program reflects a broader trend among DeFi platforms to leverage tokenomics as a tool for value enhancement and community engagement. By redistributing a portion of the revenue to buybacks, Aave aims to bolster investor confidence and stabilize its token amid volatile market conditions. This move by Aave DAO comes at a crucial time as the DeFi sector continues to evolve, with platforms increasingly focusing on innovative ways to sustain growth and maintain competitiveness.

        Highlights:  The BNB price is down 2% to $1111.46, despite the trading volume spiking 26%. The BNB on-chain demand has slipped, with the open interest plummeting 3% showing a drop in demand.  The technical outlook shows a tight tug-of-war, with the bulls attempting to overcome resistance zones.   The BNB price is down 2% today, to trade at $1111.46. Despite the plunge, the daily trading volume has soared 26% showing increased market activity among traders. However, BNB Chain has seen declining network activity, with the open interest plummeting, signaling a drop in demand.  On Chain Demand on BNB Cools Off The BNB Chain is in a state of cooldown of network activity, which indicates low on-chain demand. In most instances, when a network fails to ensure large volumes or revenues, it means that there is low demand or outflows to other networks.  BNB DeFi Data: DeFiLlama According to DeFiLlama data, the volume of the Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs) is down to at least $2.12 billion in comparison to the high of $6.313 billion on October 8, which also means low on-chain liquidity.  On the other hand, Coinglass data shows that the volume of BNB has grown by 3.97% to reach $4.95 billion. However, the open interest in BNB futures has dropped by 3.36% to reach $1.74 billion. This reduction in open interest is an indication of a conservative stance by investors since the number of new positions being opened is low. This could be an indication that investors are not so sure about the short-term price outlook. BNB Derivatives Data: CoinGlass Meanwhile, the long-to-short ratio is sitting at 0.9091. This shows that the traders are undecided on BNB price’s next move, as it sits below 1.  BNB Price Moves Into Consolidation The chart displays the BNB/USD price action on a 4-hour timeframe, with the token currently hovering around $1111.46. The 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) is at $1113, while the 200-day SMA sits at $1129, cushioning the bulls against upside movement. The price has mostly been trending below both SMAs, indicating that the bears are having the upper hand.  The BNB trading volume is up, soaring 26%, signaling the momentum is real. On the 4-hour chart, BNB is trading within a consolidation channel. In such a case, this pattern may act as an accumulation period, giving the bulls hind wings to break above resistance zones.  BNB/USD 4-hour chart: TradingView Zooming in, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits at 44.15, below the 50 level. This shows weakening momentum in the BNB market, and might lead to the RSI plunging to the oversold region if the bulls don’t regain control. In the short term, the BNB price could move up to $1113 resistance and flip it into support. A close above this zone will see the bulls target $1126 resistance, giving the bulls strength to reclaim the $1230 mark.  Conversely, if the resistance zones prove too strong, a dip towards $1012 could be plausible. In such a case, this could be a prime buy zone for the risk-takers. In the long term, if the token keeps the hype alive, the bulls may reclaim the $1375 high or higher.    eToro Platform    Best Crypto Exchange   Over 90 top cryptos to trade Regulated by top-tier entities User-friendly trading app 30+ million users    9.9   Visit eToro eToro is a multi-asset investment platform.
