AAVE Rockets 25%: DeFi Frenzy Ignites as SEC Comments Spark Crypto Rally

DeFi''s sleeping giant wakes with a vengeance.

AAVE just ripped past resistance levels with a 25% surge—its biggest single-day move since the 2024 bull run. The catalyst? A perfect storm of regulatory optimism and pent-up DeFi demand.

SEC Chair''s ''light-touch'' comments lit the fuse

Markets interpreted yesterday''s congressional testimony as a de facto green light for decentralized protocols. When the regulator hinted at ''preserving innovation,'' traders piled into blue-chip DeFi tokens—AAVE first among them.

TVL across AAVE pools spiked 18% in 24 hours as yield hunters returned. The protocol''s v4 upgrade—featuring cross-chain liquidation protection—doesn''t hurt either. Funny how ''decentralized'' finance still dances to regulatory whispers.

This isn''t just a pump—it''s a statement. After months of sideways action, DeFi''s proving it can still move markets when traditional finance isn''t busy patting itself on the back over 2% bond yields.
