Four whales have scooped up $3.63 million in AAVE tokens
According to data from crypto intelligence tracker Lookonchain, four large wallet investors in AAVE network have purchased 53,208 AAVE tokens worth $3.63 million and staked them. The whales purchased AAVE consistently over the past two weeks at an average price of $68.24.
