[Crypto Assets World] In the last week, the performance of Aave's Token AAVE has not been great, with a fall of 18%, making it one of the worst performers among mainstream Crypto Assets. What is the culprit behind this? To put it simply, it is the unclear situation regarding protocol branding and domain control, as well as the lack of consensus in the governance layer, leaving investors feeling uncertain.
From on-chain data, it appears that a large holder couldn't sit still and sold off about 230,000 AAVE in a short period, which is approximately 35 million US dollars when converted to Renminbi. This wave of selling has directly intensified the downward pressure on the market. However, interestingly, Aave's founder Stani Kulechov went against the trend and continued to invest during the price drop, purchasing about 12.6 million US dollars worth of AAVE, showing considerable confidence.
However, the founder's actions ultimately failed to halt the decline. The market's reaction was very straightforward—uncertainty regarding the potential consequences of this governance dispute.
