On December 16, 2025, BGD Labs co-founder Ernesto Boado submitted an ARFC proposal to transfer Aave’s brand assets from entities such as Aave Labs to a DAO-controlled structure. A vote on this "Transfer of Brand Asset Control" will be held on Snapshot starting December 23, 2025, potentially granting AAVE token holders direct influence over domains, social platforms, and naming rights. Ahead of the vote, AAVE trades at $161.35 with a market cap of $2.47 billion and has seen a 9.12% price drop in 24 hours, reflecting heightened volatility.
