Just 2,020 votes were cast against.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"872\" data-end=\"1178\">This development comes as the decentralised finance (DeFi) sector continues to attract growing institutional interest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"872\" data-end=\"1178\">According to new data from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coinbase.com\/blog\/rising-allocations-broadening-use-cases-new-research-from-EY-parthenon-and-Coinbase\">Coinbase and EY-Parthenon<\/a>, 83% of institutional investors plan to increase their digital asset exposure in 2025, with DeFi playing a key role in that expansion.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\" data-start=\"1180\" data-end=\"1216\">Aave committee to manage treasury<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1218\" data-end=\"1627\">The buyback plan has led to the formation of the Aave Finance Committee (AFC), which will oversee the protocol&rsquo;s treasury and ensure funds are managed transparently.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1218\" data-end=\"1627\">In its initial phase, the AFC will utilise $4 million worth of aEthUSDT from the DAO&rsquo;s treasury, funding the first month of buybacks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1218\" data-end=\"1627\">Each week, $1 million will be used to purchase AAVE tokens, effectively reducing token supply in circulation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1629\" data-end=\"1871\">The committee is tasked with implementing financial best practices, maintaining transparency, and aligning incentives across the protocol.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1629\" data-end=\"1871\">It will also evaluate the results of the buyback pilot, which may be extended depending on performance.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\" data-start=\"1873\" data-end=\"1914\">AAVE rises to $133.50 ahead of buyback<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1916\" data-end=\"2239\">The token buyback initiative arrives as AAVE shows signs of modest recovery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1916\" data-end=\"2239\">The token is currently trading at $133.50, up from $131.55 earlier in the week.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1916\" data-end=\"2239\"><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1916\" data-end=\"2239\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/coinmarketcap.com\/currencies\/aave\/\">CoinMarketCap<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1916\" data-end=\"2239\">While the market remains volatile, the price uptick precedes the start of the buyback programme and reflects growing anticipation around the DAO&rsquo;s financial strategy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2241\" data-end=\"2545\">By reducing the available supply of AAVE tokens, the buyback model aims to support long-term token value and improve investor engagement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2241\" data-end=\"2545\">The strategy resembles traditional corporate stock repurchase plans, which are becoming more common among decentralised protocols with maturing governance structures.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\" data-start=\"2547\" data-end=\"2590\">Institutional DeFi use to triple by 2026<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2592\" data-end=\"2839\">Alongside the Aave initiative, the broader DeFi ecosystem is seeing increased institutional interest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2592\" data-end=\"2839\">While only 24% of institutions currently use decentralised finance tools, the figure is expected to triple to nearly 75% over the next two years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2841\" data-end=\"3147\">According to the Coinbase-EY Parthenon report, staking, derivatives, and lending are the leading use cases among institutions, followed by cross-border payments, yield farming, and access to altcoins.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2841\" data-end=\"3147\">Nearly three-quarters of institutions surveyed already hold cryptocurrencies beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3149\" data-end=\"3478\">This signals a shift toward broader DeFi adoption as firms look for tools that provide more flexibility and decentralisation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3149\" data-end=\"3478\">Aave, which enables users to lend and borrow crypto assets without intermediaries, is positioned to benefit from this trend&mdash;especially as it introduces mechanisms to better manage protocol-level finance.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\" data-start=\"3480\" data-end=\"3517\">Aave buyback strategy may continue<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3519\" data-end=\"3865\">The six-month AAVE buyback plan is structured as a trial but could extend beyond its initial phase.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3519\" data-end=\"3865\">Aave Chain Initiative founder Marc Zeller has suggested the timeline might be revised based on performance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3519\" data-end=\"3865\">The DAO has not made a final decision on further funding, but the strong vote in favour of the current plan indicates community alignment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3867\" data-end=\"4287\">As Aave works to adapt its financial strategy to both community and market expectations, the protocol&rsquo;s ongoing efforts may serve as a model for other DAOs looking to implement treasury management programmes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3867\" data-end=\"4287\">With a formal committee now in place and rising institutional focus on decentralised lending platforms, the next phase of growth could see more integration between DeFi protocols and traditional finance players.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a
