A Whale Recently Cashed Out $1.81 Million of AAVE Crypto from Trades Done Over 3 Months

Investor on-chain data depicts that between Aug and Nov 2024, the investor bagged 43,885 AAVE tokens at an average price of $145.9 per token.

A significant AAVE investor, often termed a "whale," recently closed a trade that netted a tidy $1.81 million from AAVE crypto trades but overshot the opportunity to pocket a much bigger profit.

Investor on-chain data from TokenPocket highlighted that between August and November 2024, the investor painstakingly accumulated 43,885 AAVE tokens at an average price point of $145.9.

The whale’s journey began with the staking of 2,347 AETH, which was later unstaked as the investor opted to transfer all 44,765 AAVE tokens to Binance at $183.27.

This move saw him cash in a 28% gain before depositing the holdings into Aave’s liquidity pool for rewards.

The investor’s AAVE accumulation took place over six months, beginning on August 23 and concluding on November 27, 2024.

Within this period, the investor bought 43,885 AAVE tokens for $6.4 million.

This accumulation phase coincided with the price of AAVE, which ranged between $129 and $150, and a low volatility period.

The whale is known for staking the tokens in Aave’s liquidity pool to maximize yield before exiting.

However, 44,765 AAVE tokens, slightly more than what the whale purchased, were unstacked and transferred on March 20, 2025, to Binance at an average price of $183.27.

The revenue from this sale is $8.2 million, and the profit is $1.81 million.

But if the whale had sold at the AAVE peak in December last year, when AAVE almost reached $390, the realized profit would have been around $10.9 million.

AAVE’s Market Performance Turns Green Amid the Whale Activity

Since September 2024, AAVE crypto’s price has steadily grown from around $129. For now, the price is pegged at $181.37, an increase of 37% over about six and a half months.

Currently, market capitalization of $2.71 billion, and the daily trading volume was down to $172.49 million, a 25% drop from the previous day.

The latest sell-off by the whale is strategic but poses a potential threat to AAVE’s uptrend.

Then, a whale’s outflow of 44,765 AAVE tokens later, just as it often does following a prolonged uptrend and the whale’s accumulation of profits.

The PnL from the Spot on Chain chart also indicates similar profits in late November and early January, which usually end up with short-term corrections.

Aave Crypto Still on a Downtrend on Daily Charts

According to the technical chart below, AAVE crypto is testing the resistance area between $377 and $392.

The recent bounce could suggest a weakening bearish trend, as it has been trading in a descending channel since early January 2025.

The money Flow Index (MFI) is 30.56, showing that AAVE is on the verge of being oversold.

If it were to occur, a move above the $200 level would be a good indication that the buying pressure has started to take control.

If support around $175 cannot be held, the downside could start from there again. AAVE’s short-term price action is critical after the whale’s sell-off.

Although the whales’ movements don’t drive the market alone, they can be a sentiment and liquidity dynamics factor.

If broader market conditions remain favorably stable, AAVE could return to recovery against the $200 – $220 range. However, the $377– $392 area is a major resistance to observe.

AVAE crypto will still need sustained volume and buying pressure to breakout of the descending trend and take on previous highs.

However, further corrections may occur if the buyers don’t break through the resistance.
