Aave Rift, Bitcoin Rebound and ETF Inflows Dominate Crypto Week

Bitcoin and the leading cryptocurrencies staged a recovery this week after initial shockwaves from the US–Israel conflict with Iran. Bitcoin fell to $63,245 on Sunday before briefly recovering to $73,000 on Thursday, aided by renewed demand from US-listed spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds, which logged $1.1 billion in net weekly inflows leading up to Thursday.

Within the Aave ecosystem, the Aave Chan Initiative said it will not renew its engagement with the Aave DAO and plans to wind down operations over the next four months. Founder Marc Zeller said ACI would continue governance activity and complete outstanding commitments before transferring its infrastructure and responsibilities to the DAO or successor providers, adding that 'The Aave Chan Initiative was built for Aave.

Without a future in the Aave ecosystem, the name no longer applies. ACI will wrap up as our obligations conclude.' The group pointed to concerns over governance standards and voting dynamics as driving the decision.
