Price reacted at the zone around $144, 3 times on the weekly.
Weekly resistance: $181.
The read: while Aave stays above $141, $181 is the next level. Not a trade, just the map.

That's the read. Disagree? Tell me where."

The adoption of

The milestone is all the more bullish when you consider that Aave v4 is less than 7 months old, having only launched in March"

About 40,800 Bitcoin [$3.3B] are staked through Babylon.

Babylon has proposed to Aave that people can borrow against their Bitcoin while it stays on the Bitcoin blockchain.

Part of the fees would buy back 
$AAVE
