Aave DAO Considers Annual $50 Million AAVE Buyback
- Aave DAO Proposes Annual Revenue-Funded Buyback
- Weekly AAVE purchases between $250 and $1,75 million
- Plan reinforces Aavenomics and creates consistent demand
The Aave Chan Initiative (ACI), led by Marc Zeller, has submitted a proposal to the Aave DAO to establish a permanent $50 million annual AAVE buyback program, fully funded by protocol revenue. The idea is to make buybacks an ongoing pillar of Aavenomics, adding predictable buying pressure to the token and optimizing treasury allocation.
According to the text, the Financial Committee (AFC) and TokenLogic would be responsible for execution, with weekly ranges between $250.000 and $1,75 million in AAVE purchases in the market. The design provides flexibility to adjust volumes according to the protocol's cash availability and market conditions, avoiding price distortions and preserving capital efficiency.
“With the completion of the existing buyback initiative and the strong success of the program, we believe it is an opportune time to enshrine a buyback program to further enhance Aavenomics,”
states the proposal. Aave's recent revenue generation history is cited as a basis for supporting the measure without compromising growth initiatives.
The plan also authorizes the AFC to leverage BTC and ETH reserves in complementary strategies, such as creating collateralized debt and yield-generating conversions, expanding the treasury's ability to capture opportunities without diluting holders. This move parallels a broader trend in DeFi, where protocols have been institutionalizing buybacks to align incentives and capture value on a recurring basis.
Aave is solidifying its position among the industry's largest protocols, recently surpassing the $25 billion mark in outstanding loans and diversifying its products. Highlights include Horizon, a credit platform backed by tokenized real-world assets, and the first implementation outside the EVM ecosystem, on Aptos, which expands its reach to new audiences.
In collateral management, the protocol has begun integrating yield-bearing assets from Maple Finance as a new type of collateral, strengthening its offering for institutional participants. Despite the recent market downturn—and a slight daily decline in AAVE—the proposal seeks to anchor structural demand and provide predictability to the capital policy under Aave DAO governance.
