- 439,000 votes support the proposal, with only 2,020 against.
- A price rises to $ 133.50 for the return.
- Institutional Defi use that is expected to triple by 2026.
The Aave Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) has approved a six -month token return program worth $ 24 million, from 9 April.
The initiative, which will see $ 1 million in Aave tokens every week, is designed to strengthen the long-term financial structure and to offer better stimuli for stakeholders.
The mood took place with 439,000 votes before, and comfortably exceeded the required 320,000. Only 2,020 votes were cast.
This development comes when the sector continues to attract the decentralized financial sector (DEFI) growing institutional interest.
According to new data from Coinbase and EY-Partthenon83% of the institutional investors intend to increase their exposure to digital assets in 2025, with Defi playing a key role in that expansion.
A committee to manage treasury
The return plan has led to the formation of the Aave Finance Committee (AFC), which supervises the treasury of the protocol and ensures that funds are managed transparently.
In its first phase, the AFC will use $ 4 million to Aethusdt of the DAO treasury and will finance the first month of Backkoop.
Every week $ 1 million will be used to buy a tokens, reducing the token stock in circulation.
The committee is responsible for implementing financial best practices, maintaining transparency and tuning stimuli in the protocol.
It will also evaluate the results of the back -buying pilot, which can be expanded, depending on the performance.
Aave is rising to $ 133.50 for the return
The Token Buyback Initiative arrives as a sign of modest recovery.
The token is currently traded at $ 133.50, an increase of $ 131.55 earlier in the week.

Although the market remains volatile, the price recording precedes the start of the return program and reflects the growing anticipation of the financial strategy of the DAO.
By reducing the available delivery of AAVE tokens, the return model is intended to support the long-term token value and to improve the involvement of investors.
The strategy is similar to traditional purchasing plans for companies, which are increasingly occurring in decentralized protocols with ripening administrative structures.
Institutional Defi use to triple by 2026
In addition to the Aave initiative, the wider Defi Ecosystem sees a greater institutional interest.
Although only 24% of the institutions are currently used decentralized financial aids, the figure is expected to be tripled to almost 75% in the next two years.
According to the Coinbase-Ey Parthenon report, deployment, derivatives and loans are the leading use cases under institutions, followed by cross-border payments, yield of agriculture and access to Altcoins.
Almost three -quarters of the institutions surveyed already have cryptocurrencies outside of Bitcoin and Ethereum.
This indicates a shift to wider Defi -acceptance, since companies are looking for tools that offer more flexibility and decentralization.
Aave, with which users can borrow and borrow crypto-assets without intermediaries, is positioned to take advantage of this trend, especially because it introduces mechanisms to better manage the financing at the protocol level.
A repurchase strategy can continue
The six-month Aave-Terugoop plan is structured as a test, but can reach further than the initial phase.
Aave Chain Initiative founder Marc Zeller has suggested that the timeline can be revised based on performance.
The DAO has not made a final decision on further financing, but the strong vote for the current plan indicates the coordination of the community.
As Aave works to adjust its financial strategy to both community and market expectations, the continuous efforts of the protocol can serve as a model for other DAOS that are looking for programs for treasury management.
With a formal committee now in force and rising institutional focus on decentralized credit platforms, the next phase of growth could see more integration between Defi protocols and traditional financial players.
