Aave, the native token for the leading Defi lending protocol, has recently seen remarkable price increases. Aave has traded between $ 255 and $ 260 from May 21, 2025 and has received about 11% in the past week and impressive 80% over the past 30 days, according to Coinmarketcap data.
This rally comes as part of a broader defi recovery, with Ethereum up 60% within the same time frame.
Over the past 24 hours, the price has dipped about 3-5% when investors lock in the profit. Despite this minor correction, Aave’s performance has exceeded many other altcoins, which reflects the growing demand for defi lending services.
The strong price movement coincides with heavy trading activity. The current 24-hour trading volumes are floating around $ 475 million, remaining elevated compared to historic averages.
Short liquidations increased as prices moved higher, indicating that Baisse settings were forced out during the rally – a sign of continued upward pressure.
Register TVL growth
Aave’s ecosystem experiences explosive growth in locked assets. According to Defillama, Aave’s total value, which was recently locked $ 24-25 billion, made it the largest individual Defi protocol of TVL.
Analytics on-chain from Geealis Show Aaves TVL has jumped about 3.6 times since January 2024 and increased from about $ 6.6 billion ago to $ 23.8 billion now.
During the same period, Total Defi TVL has doubled from $ 56 billion to $ 115 billion between January 2024 and May 2025.
This growth has increased Aave’s market share of defi TVL from 11% to 20% during that period. These figures highly highlight the adoption of Aave’s lending markets over Ethereum and Layer-2 chains.
The protocol recently registered over $ 10 billion in active loans, which showed its actual usability and growing use.
A key catalyst for the latest growth was Aaves May 19-distribution of its V3 protocol on Aptos-Dess first launch on an non-EVM blockchain. This Aptosintegration “marks a new era for crypt lending over” and has already increased the activity.
Derivate data from Coinglass shows a 42% hope in Aave open interest (to $ 576 million) immediately after the Aptos Consultation. Trade volume also increased – up 90% to $ 1.84 billion below rally.
These flows on the chain indicate that many traders and users rotate to Aave after the Aptos integration. The protocol’s expansion in addition to Ethereum seems to have extended the range and given user interest.
Technical analysis
Aave remains in a strong trend from a technical perspective. The price is traded far above its main moving averages.
200-day EMA is about $ 200 and 10-day EMA/SMA is close to $ 237. With the prices between $ 255-260, Aave is traded over both short and long-term averages, a classic hooked signal.
Momentum indicators also support the trend. The relative strength index (RSI) is about 71.2 and places it in over -bought territory. MACD has become positive and confirms another causal speed.
However, some caution may be justified due to the high RSI reading, which suggests short-term over-bought conditions.
The 20-day SMA to $ 214 serves as support in the short term, with resistance flagged close to $ 270 as the next obstacle. A crucial break over $ 270-280 would be needed to maintain Hausseartat Momentum.
Aave also expands its asset menu. The team discusses new security types, including the Uniswap V4 LP tokens and the BNB-based Soneium token.
Integrating these assets would enable users to borrow against liquidity positions from Uniswap V4 pools and the Binance Ecosystem, which improves the protocol’s usability.
This planned safety expansion highlights Aave’s ongoing development and can attract more liquidity and borrowers have once been implemented.
From writing, Aave is traded to $ 251, a reduction of 5% over the past 24 hours after a brief price correction.
