Aave founder Stani Kulechov says AAVE isn't for sale 'at a 70% discount' following report of Payward bid

The Aave Will Win proposal redirected 100% of protocol and Aave-branded product revenue to the DAO and AAVE token holders.

  • Aave founder Stani Kulechov denied reports of a potential 15% stake acquisition by Kraken's Payward at a significantly discounted valuation, stating Aave would not sell at a 70% discount.
  • Kulechov clarified that while Aave Labs might sell some of its AAVE token allocation, protocol revenue is directed to the Aave DAO, and Aavenomics 3.0 with a buyback mechanism is under development.
  • The denial comes after a period of Aave's TVL decline and a recent update to its risk framework, following a governance proposal that redirected all protocol revenue to the DAO.
