Aave DAO has proposed a $50 million annual AAVE buyback program, aiming to bolster token value while the protocol finalizes its V4 upgrade.
Summary
- Aave DAO is proposing a $50 million yearly AAVE buyback program, executing weekly purchases between $250,000–$1.75 million, fully funded from protocol revenue.
- The proposal coincides with the finalization of Aave V4, featuring the CCLL for multi-chain collateralization and borrowing.
- AAVE price trades near $220 within a descending channel. Momentum indicators suggest easing selling pressure, but support levels around $135–$150 could be tested if the downtrend persists.
Aave DAO is proposing a long-term $50 million annual AAVE buyback program aimed at strengthening the token’s value and optimizing treasury use.
The plan would execute weekly purchases between $250,000 and $1.75 million, with flexibility for the Aave Finance Committee to adjust based on market conditions, token volatility, and available protocol revenue. The buyback program would be funded entirely from protocol revenue.
The initiative follows a previous program where weekly buys were around $1 million. It is currently in the ARFC stage, open for community feedback before moving to a snapshot and eventual governance vote.
We published a governance proposal to enshrine the AAVE buyback program long-term.
The AAVE DAO economy is stronger than ever.

The proposal comes as Aave V4 is being finalized for launch. Central to the update is the Cross-Chain Liquidity Layer (CCLL), which aggregates liquidity across multiple blockchains, enabling users to collateralize assets on one chain and seamlessly borrow on another.
