Aave’s decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) introduced a proposal to create a long-term, protocol-funded buyback program that would use up to $50 million in annual revenue to repurchase Aave tokens. The proposal, submitted on Wednesday by the Aave Chan Initiative (ACI), seeks to make buybacks a permanent component of Aave’s tokenomics. Under the plan, the Aave Finance Committee (AFC) and TokenLogic would lead the execution, repurchasing $250,000 to $1.75 million in Aave (AAVE) tokens weekly, depending on market conditions, liquidity and volatility.  If approved, the proposal will proceed through the Aave Request for Comment (ARFC) stage for community feedback, followed by a Snapshot vote and final onchain governance confirmation.

The loans are quicker and easier to get than a standard mortgage too. All you need is Bitcoin worth approximately 50% more than the loan amount and youre good to go. There are some big drawbacks however, with interest rates sometimes twice as high as ordinary mortgages. Holders face margin...

    Cointelegraph.com - 13:00 Oct 22, 2025
    Wealthy Bitcoin holders are moving billions into ETFs like BlackRock’s IBIT as tax benefits and SEC rule changes drive a shift away from self-custody. Bitcoin’s self-custody era may be ending as wealthy holders increasingly transfer assets into regulated exchange-traded funds (ETFs) amid tax incentives and improving institutional infrastructure. In a Wednesday post on X, Martin Hiesboeck, head of blockchain and crypto research at crypto financial services platform Uphold, said the movement of large Bitcoin (BTC) wallets into ETFs marks the first significant decline in self-custodied BTC in more than 15 years. “Another nail in the coffin of the original crypto spirit,” he wrote, noting that the “not your keys, not your coins” ethos that once defined the asset is giving way to a more traditional approach centered on compliance and financial optimization.
