Aave (AAVE) climbed 14.98% over the past 24 hours to trade at $112.40 on August 21, 2026, continuing a stretch of notable strength for the decentralized lending protocol's native token. The move pushed the asset's market capitalization to $1.56 billion.
The single-day advance is part of a broader upswing. Over the past seven days, AAVE has gained 30.67%, and the 30-day return stands at 17.51%, indicating that buying pressure has been building across multiple timeframes rather than concentrated in a single session.
The 30-day figure of 17.51% suggests the token had already been trending higher before the more aggressive weekly and daily moves took hold. The seven-day gain of 30.67% represents a sharp acceleration within that longer window.
At $1.56 billion in market capitalization, Aave remains among the tracked mid-tier crypto assets by overall size. Whether the recent pace of appreciation is sustained will be reflected in subsequent price data.
