Aave Founder Stani Kulechov Purchases $10 Million in AAVE Ahead of Key Governance Vote

Aave founder Stani Kulechov has reportedly bought $10 million worth of AAVE tokens shortly before a major governance vote on control of the protocol's brand assets and distribution channels. The move concentrates additional voting influence in his hands and has drawn criticism from DeFi analyst Robert Mullins over potential risks to minority holders and perceived weaknesses in token-based governance.
