Aave Price Surges 11% on $191M USDC Inflow and Growing TVL

Aave's price surged nearly 11% after a massive influx of USDC deposits and growing total value locked (TVL), signaling renewed demand for the protocol. A $191 million USDC deposit in late July 2026 sparked the uptrend, as did increased user activity and integration with Ethereum layer-2 solutions.

The growth of GHO stablecoin and its expanding utility also contributed to investor confidence in Aave. Technical indicators point to short-term strength and positive momentum, with key resistance at $104.81 and a near-term expected range of $96.4 to $107.14.
