Aave Dominates DeFi With $24 Million in Monthly Fees

Decentralized crypto platform Aave (AAVE) has emerged as the leader among the top five lending and borrowing protocols, recording over $24 million in fees over the past 30 days.
Aave enables users to create liquidity markets, allowing them to earn interest by supplying or borrowing assets.
Aave Protocol Leads in 30-day Fees
According to Token Terminal, Aave leads the lending and borrowing sector, followed by Morpho Labs, Venus, Compound Finance, and Moonwell. Michael Nadeau, founder of The DeFi Report, notes that Aave commands a 64% market share in the lending and borrowing markets.
Aave boasts 4.6 times more active loans than its nearest competitor and 6.3 times more TVL than the top two Solana lend/borrow applications combined. Active loans on Aave have surged 3.6 times since the FTX collapse, although they remain 60% below the late 2021 peak.
Over the past year, Aave generated $293 million in total fees, with the Aave DAO retaining 13.3%, or $38.9 million. DAO revenue reached its highest point in June 2024.

Nadeau’s research highlights that Aave has achieved on-chain profitability this cycle, with DAO revenue surpassing token incentives. This shift indicates the protocol is becoming less dependent on token incentives to attract users.
Meanwhile, Aave creator Stani Kulechov noted the quiet success of the Scroll market on Aave. This followed the deployment of Aave V3 on the Scroll mainnet, a strategic move with a potential to reshape the sector.

For Aave, this integration is an opportunity to harness the high throughput and reduced gas fees of the Scroll, effectively augmenting the scalability and accessibility of its lending services. Moreover, Aave stands to benefit from an expanded user base, tapping into the active community that Scroll has cultivated.
Whales Interested in AAVE Amid Trump’s DeFi Venture
Amidst Aave’s positive developments, large holders have been expanding their portfolios. BeInCrypto reported that on August 21, a whale purchased over 50,000 AAVE tokens worth $6.65 million, shortly after another whale bought 11,101 tokens valued at $1.45 million. Additionally, Lookonchain revealed that two more whales acquired 16,592 AAVE tokens worth $2.2 million on Thursday.
This growing interest is fueled by Aave’s strategic integrations and Donald Trump’s DeFi initiative. Trump’s venue aims to establish a decentralized financial system using Aave’s non-custodial lending platform and Ethereum infrastructure, introducing his supporters to DeFi.
With Trump’s new AAVE-partnered protocol launch, it’s incredible to see DeFi become a centerpiece in this election. IMO, DeFi is the heart of crypto and its future,” wrote Jared Grey, a builder on Sushi Labs.
Gabriel Shapiro, legal adviser for World Liberty Financial, stated that the DeFi venture would serve as a “lightweight non-custodial feeder” into Aave, enabling users to deposit without the need for a fork.

The news around World Liberty Financial boosted confidence in the potential for Aave’s mainstream adoption, driving speculative AAVE buying. Following the news, AAVE surged by 10%. However, BeInCrypto data shows the token has since erased most of those gains and trading at $131.47.

VanEck Sets Stage for BNB ETF with Official Trust Filing

Global investment management firm VanEck has officially registered a statutory trust in Delaware for Binance’s BNB (BNB) exchange-traded fund (ETF).
This move marks the first attempt to launch a spot BNB ETF in the United States. It could potentially open new avenues for institutional and retail investors to gain exposure to the asset through a regulated investment vehicle.
VanEck Moves Forward with BNB ETF
The trust was registered on March 31 under the name “VanEck BNB ETF” with filing number 10148820. It was recorded on Delaware’s official state website.

The proposed BNB ETF would track the price of BNB. It is the native cryptocurrency of the BNB Chain ecosystem, developed by the cryptocurrency exchange Binance.
As per the latest data, BNB ranks as the fifth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization at $87.1 billion. Despite its significant market position, both BNB’s price and the broader cryptocurrency market have faced some challenges recently.
Over the past month, the altcoin’s value has declined 2.2%. At the time of writing, BNB was trading at $598. This represented a 1.7% dip in the last 24 hours, according to data from BeInCrypto.

While the trust filing hasn’t yet led to a price uptick, the community remains optimistic about the prospects of BNB, especially with this new development.
“Send BNB to the moon now,” an analyst posted on X (formerly Twitter).
The filing comes just weeks after VanEck made a similar move for Avalanche (AVAX). On March 10, VanEck registered a trust for an AVAX-focused ETF.
This was quickly followed by the filing of an S-1 registration statement with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Given this precedent, a similar S-1 filing for a BNB ETF could follow soon.
“A big step toward bringing BNB to US institutional investors!” another analyst wrote.
Meanwhile, the industry has seen an influx of crypto fund applications at the SEC following the election of a pro-crypto administration. In fact, a recent survey revealed that 71% of ETF investors are bullish on crypto and plan to increase their allocations to cryptocurrency ETFs in the next 12 months.
“Three-quarters of allocators expect to increase their investment in cryptocurrency-focused ETFs over the next 12 months, with demand highest in Asia (80%), and the US (76%), in contrast to Europe (59%),” the survey revealed.
This growing interest in crypto ETFs could drive further demand for assets like BNB, making the VanEck BNB ETF a potentially significant product in the market.

XRP Recovery Stalls—Are Bears Still In Control?

XRP price started a fresh decline from the $2.20 zone. The price is now consolidating and might face hurdles near the $2.120 level.
- XRP price started a fresh decline after it failed to clear the $2.20 resistance zone.
- The price is now trading below $2.150 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.
- There is a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2.120 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken).
- The pair might extend losses if it fails to clear the $2.20 resistance zone.
XRP Price Faces Rejection
XRP price failed to continue higher above the $2.20 resistance zone and reacted to the downside, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price declined below the $2.150 and $2.120 levels.
The bears were able to push the price below the 50% Fib retracement level of the recovery wave from the $2.023 swing low to the $2.199 high. There is also a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2.120 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.
The price is now trading below $2.150 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. However, the bulls are now active near the $2.10 support level. They are protecting the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the recovery wave from the $2.023 swing low to the $2.199 high.
On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $2.120 level and the trend line zone. The first major resistance is near the $2.150 level. The next resistance is $2.20. A clear move above the $2.20 resistance might send the price toward the $2.240 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.2650 resistance or even $2.2880 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be $2.320.
Another Decline?
If XRP fails to clear the $2.150 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.10 level. The next major support is near the $2.0650 level.
If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.0650 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $2.020 support. The next major support sits near the $2.00 zone.
Technical Indicators
Hourly MACD – The MACD for XRP/USD is now gaining pace in the bearish zone.
Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for XRP/USD is now below the 50 level.
Major Support Levels – $2.10 and $2.050.
Major Resistance Levels – $2.120 and $2.20.
