AAVE, the native token of the

lending platform, has surged by 18% to $256, rebounding from its 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) support. This price movement indicates a bullish trend for AAVE, despite a recent correction from its swing high. The bullish momentum is fueled by the successful integration of Chainlink's Service Level Agreement (SLA) Verification (SVR) Phase 3, which now covers 75% of AAVE's total value secured (TVS). This integration is seen as a risk-adjusted move that enhances AAVE's utilization of SVR, contributing to the long-term sustainability of its ecosystem and the native token's price.

On-chain data further supports the bullish outlook for AAVE. Institutional investors have recognized AAVE as a leader in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space, with its all-time high (ATH) total value locked (TVL) higher in the first half of 2025 than at any other time since its inception. Rising protocol fees, revenue, and active loans, which have spiked to record highs, indicate a significant increase in AAVE's usage. The token's market share of over 62% in the competitive landscape demonstrates strong adoption and trust among users.

Additionally, the number of addresses withdrawing AAVE from exchanges has surged since April, signaling a long-term accumulation trend. This trend is further evidenced by an increase in whale transaction counts (>100k USD) from April lows. These on-chain data points suggest that AAVE has gained fundamental strength and is experiencing consistent whale accumulation, which could drive the token's price higher under bullish circumstances.

Analysts predict that AAVE could break through the $480 mark, with a potential target as high as $482. This prediction is based on the token's weekly chart, which shows a retracement in the second quarter towards strong support and the formation of a continuation pattern in the third quarter. A strong reaction from the support zone could trigger a powerful rally, with confirmation levels reached above $275. The target price of $482 could be achieved after successfully hitting intermediate targets at $363 and $425.

According to the analyst's forecast, the price of AAVE could surge to a maximum of $526 by the end of 2025. By 2030, if the bullish sentiment sustains, the price of the altcoin could escalate to $1,161. Conversely, it could close the year with a low of approximately $800. Considering the fundamentals of the protocol, AAVE is seen as a profitable long-term investment.
