AAVE nears $100 as V4 deposits top $300M, with rising volume and bullish technical signals fueling fresh rally hopes.
AAVE pushed closer to the $100 line in Tuesday trading as buyers stepped in again.
The token drew fresh attention after trader Michaël van de Poppe said the chart now points to another leg higher.
At the same time, Aave’s own X account said V4 deposits have moved past $300 million.
AAVE Price Purns Higher After Trend Flip
Van de Poppe framed AAVE as a token that has already broken its prior downtrend.
He said the setup looks stronger across more than one timeframe, which he reads as a base for more upside waves.
$AAVE looks increasingly likely for a new leg upwards.
I’ve mentioned it a few times, but there are strong signals that there’s a continuation of the uptrend taking place here.
Why?
– The downtrend has broken and flipped for an uptrend due to the fact that there’s the MA flip… https://t.co/bx4x59K3VC

His posts followed an earlier note that pointed to AAVE against Bitcoin as a dip zone after a moving-average shift.
That view matched the live tape. CoinMarketCap(CMC) showed AAVE trading around $95.95, with the token up 7.43% over 24 hours.
The live price page also placed 24-hour trading volume at $236.87 million, with the move carrying more activity than a quiet drift higher.
The same data set showed AAVE circulating supply at 15.41 million tokens, against a total supply of 16 million. CMC also listed TVL at $14.56 billion and FDV at $1.53 billion. That gap keeps the token tied closely to the protocol’s core lending activity.
Aave V4 Deposits Cross $300 Million

The protocol also said supply and borrow caps were lifted again across several assets to meet demand.
That update gave the latest version of Aave another usage milestone to pair with the price move.
The deposit tally comes after earlier growth in the rollout, which had already pushed V4 well beyond its early launch phase.
The latest figure keeps the upgrade in active use, not just in test or announcement mode.
For traders, that matters because protocol growth often becomes part of the market story around DeFi tokens.

AAVE Market Data Signals Growing Trader Interest
CMC’s live page showed AAVE with a 24-hour volume-to-market-cap ratio above 16 percent and liquidity-to-market-cap at 0.84 percent.
Those figures point to active trading without a deep liquidity cushion. The same page showed no max supply listed for AAVE.
The mix of rising volume, a protocol deposit milestone, and a chart-based bullish call has kept AAVE near the top of DeFi watchlists.
Van de Poppe has tied his case to moving-average flips, while Aave has tied its case to usage growth on V4. For now, both stories are pushing in the same direction.
