Rumors swirl around Aave’s potential partnership with World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a development igniting debate about token allocation and market volatility. While Stani Kulechov, Aave’s founder, claims a partnership valued at $2.5 billion, WLFI denies these figures, casting doubt on the deal’s authenticity. 7% of WLFI tokens are allegedly slated for Aave, with the agreement promising 20% of protocol fees. However, these details lack on-chain verification and DAO approval, fueling community skepticism and leading to price fluctuations in AAVE. This arrangement, if realized, would significantly impact Aave’s treasury but has sparked concerns regarding transparency and compliance within the DeFi sector.
