A long term institutional investor moved 156,690 AAVE, worth $22.86 million, possibly to sell
AAVE falls roughly 6% as selling pressure pushes the DeFi token below $140 despite new lending markets and Bitcoin collateral proposals.
Aave has just changed the borrowing conditions of USDT on its Ethereum V3 Core crypto market. Since October 21, rates increase faster as soon as 92% of liquidity is borrowed, compared to 94% previously.
At 85.6% utilization, the proposed curve would lift modeled borrowing APR from 4.10% to 4.19%; the 7% figure applies only at a hypothetical 94% utilization.
At 7:46 a.m. ET Saturday, the token was 51 cents below a lower Bollinger Band level listed two days earlier.
Users can compare assets by APY, select an Aave V4 market and deposit through the new feature.
The 134,007,665 USDC figure is valued at about $133,977,825.
The October 20 fixed-supply model underlies the cushion; the implemented 92% threshold adds no cash or guaranteed exit. Read the full story on CryptoSlate Understand the crypto stories that matter and what to watch next.
