Circle Ventures acquired AAVE tokens shortly after a $293 million exploit on KelpDAO, which caused significant stress on Aave's ecosystem. In response, Aave DAO is voting to pause $AAVE buybacks until the rsETH/KelpDAO crisis is fully resolved to preserve treasury flexibility amid uncertain losses. The April DeFi hack wave drained over $620 million, with KelpDAO's bridge hack being the largest. Aave's total value locked dropped by nearly $8 billion, prompting proposals to allocate 25,000 ETH for recovery efforts. The pause on buybacks has sparked debate among the community, balancing protection of the protocol's finances against tokenholder confidence.
