Stani Kulechov, founder of the decentralized lending protocol Aave, stated via his X account that "Aave is also considering a program that adds burning to buybacks in the Tokenomics 3.0 version update." Aave has been operating a program to buy back AAVE tokens with a portion of the protocol's revenue since last year, but 'burning' was excluded from that program. Additionally, the AAVE buyback has been temporarily suspended as of April 19, 2026 (local time). According to CoinMarketCap, AAVE is currently trading at $149.08, down 2.76%.
