Six months earlier, ParaFi deposited 17,000 AAVE to the same platform. The earlier transaction was valued at 5.32 million dollars when AAVE traded at 313 dollars per token.

Aave DAO Advances Aave Will Win Proposal
At the same time, Aave DAO governance activity has progressed. The Aave Will Win proposal passed its Temp Check vote with 52.58 percent support. About 42 percent voted against, while around 5 percent abstained.
The Temp Check was conducted off-chain through Snapshot. This stage serves as an early signal of community sentiment before any binding decision.
Following the result, the proposal now moves to the Aave Request for Final Comment stage. During this phase, contributors can refine details and adjust funding structures before any on-chain vote.
Stani Kulechov confirmed the outcome on social media. He wrote, “Temp Check for the Aave Will Win proposal has passed.” He added that the framework moves Aave closer to a fully token-centric model.
The proposal outlines a structure where 100 percent of product revenue would flow to the AAVE token and DAO treasury. It also defines how Aave Labs would be funded under the updated framework.
Rise Launches USDC Yield Feature Powered by Aave
In related ecosystem news, Rise announced the launch of Rise Earn. The feature allows companies and workers to earn yield on USDC held within the Rise platform.
Rise Earn uses Aave-powered vaults to generate variable yield. Companies funding payroll in USDC can earn yield on balances held before payment execution.
Contractors and employees can also allocate a portion of their earnings to earn yield. The process does not require self-custody or interaction with external DeFi platforms.
From the user perspective, companies earn yield on USDC reserved for payroll. Workers receive payments as usual and can allocate funds with one click into Rise Earn.
Users can view balances and performance in real time. Funds remain redeemable at any time, and withdrawals can be made in fiat or crypto.
Rise stated that all activity occurs within its payroll and compliance infrastructure. The integration relies on Aave, which remains one of the largest decentralized lending protocols by total value locked.
