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. 

The $68.24 level is key to AAVE’s price rally and is likely to act as support, as below this level, the large wallet investors’ holding would be underwater. This implies whales are likely to push AAVE price higher to realize profits in the short term.
