COINOTAG reported on November 19, citing OnchainLens data, a whale address deployed 3 million USDC to acquire 16,991 AAVE tokens at approximately $177 per unit. The wallet, 0x6a4d361b7d0dadf8146dcfe6258a8699ea35eb81, currently holds about 5.79 million USDC and appears poised to continue accumulation.
This sizable transfer highlights sustained demand for AAVE among large holders, with potential implications for near-term price discovery and liquidity in decentralized finance.
By converting USDC into governance-ready tokens, the move underscores the stabilizing role of stablecoins in macro flows and the value of real-time wallet monitoring for investors.
Market participants should watch for further activity from this address and peers to assess risk, impact on liquidity pools, and governance participation within the AAVE ecosystem.
