🚨 MASSIVE INSTITUTIONAL SIGNAL JUST DROPPED: Grayscale has FILED Form S-1 with the SEC to CONVERT their Aave Trust into a full spot AAVE ETF — ticker GAVE on NYSE Arca! 🔥📈
This isn’t hype. This is REAL regulatory paperwork (filed Feb 13, 2026). Grayscale is turning their existing closed-end Aave Trust (launched 2024, holding actual $AAVE) into a regulated, tradable ETF that ANYONE can buy in a brokerage account — no wallets, no private keys, no gas fees, no headaches.
Key bombshells from the filing:
Direct spot exposure to $AAVE tokens (not futures, not wrapped — straight-up holding the real asset)
Sponsor fee: 2.5% on NAV, paid IN AAVE (means ongoing buying pressure on the token itself — super bullish for demand!)
Custodian & prime broker: Coinbase (battle-tested security from the biggest name in crypto custody)
Listing on NYSE Arca — the same exchange where Grayscale’s GBTC, ETHE, and others trade
Aave protocol stats that scream maturity: Over $27 BILLION in TVL (largest DeFi lending protocol), multi-chain dominance, flash loans, GHO stablecoin, institutional RWA integrations exploding
Grayscale isn’t playing small ball anymore. They already flipped BTC & ETH into massive spot ETFs. Now they’re stacking altcoin products like never before:
AVAX, SOL (staking), Chainlink, XRP, NEAR trusts all in the pipeline or converting
This is the SECOND AAVE ETF push (Bitwise filed first, but Grayscale’s is direct-spot and backed by their proven track record)
Why this could be EXPLOSIVE for $AAVE:
Current market cap ~$1.8–2B (price hovering ~$120–$126 recently) — tiny compared to what institutions could pour in
DeFi’s killer app (lending/borrowing) finally gets Wall Street access
Fee paid in AAVE = forced accumulation = tokenomics boost
If approved, expect the classic ETF pump pattern: retail FOMO + institutional inflows = moonshot potential
Broader narrative: Altcoin ETF summer 2026 is HERE. BTC/ETH were phase 1. Real DeFi utility tokens like AAVE are phase 2.
Grayscale just keeps winning — they’ve turned skepticism into billions in AUM. Now they’re dragging DeFi mainstream one filing at a time.
