Aave, Solana Tokens Rally as Buyback Narrative Gains Steam

What happened: Aave (AAVE) surged 19% to $94.46, while Solana and its ecosystem tokens (JTO +30%, RAY +7%, MET +7%, KMNO +9%) led a broader crypto rebound. Weekly tokenized stock trading volume hit $2.5 billion, with Solana capturing over 80% market share. Aave founder Stani Kulechov denied reports of a discounted stake sale to Kraken’s parent but teased the upcoming “Aavenomics 3.0” framework, which would automate and expand token buybacks beyond the current $50 million per year discretionary program.

Why it matters: The rally reflects renewed optimism around DeFi protocols with sustainable revenue and active governance. The surge in tokenized stock trading on Solana highlights the network’s growing role in real-world asset markets. While rumors of a large Aave stake sale at a steep discount were refuted, the buyback narrative and hints at further protocol upgrades have energized both Aave and the broader DeFi sector. No firm launch date for Aavenomics 3.0 has been disclosed.
