75% drawdown from the 52w high and the call is HOLD? thats not analysis thats just coping. aave is dead money until lending volume picks back up
@defi_yield_chaser calling aave dead money when they literally dominate the lending market is wild. the issue isnt aave its that defi as a sector is out of favor rn
Disagree. The protocol revenue is still solid and GHO issuance keeps growing. Price action is rough but fundamentals are way better than 2022. Accumulating under 110 makes sense to me.
