Just spotted something interesting on chain - looks like Aave's Kulechov dumped about 4,500 ETH last week when the market was bleeding out. We're talking $8.3 million worth at around $1,857 per coin. The transactions went through CoW Protocol swaps, which Lookonchain flagged using Arkham data. Pretty telling timing given how rough things have been.

What caught my eye is that Kulechov's portfolio is heavily weighted toward AAVE tokens now - sitting on like 84K coins. His ETH holdings are relatively small after this sell-off, and honestly, the numbers show he's been taking some real losses. From late January to when he sold, Ether dropped nearly 29%, which wiped out about $17K just on his remaining ETH position alone.

Kulechov's total portfolio is down around 13% over the past week. Not sure if this was a strategic move to lock in liquidity or just trimming positions in a down market, but it's the kind of move you see from insiders when things get shaky. ETH is hovering around $2,040 now, still below where he exited. Interesting to watch where the founder positioning goes from here.
