Stani Kulechov, founder of Aave Labs, clarified on Sunday that they will not create a new token for the product Horizon proposed by Aave. The company recently introduced Horizon, aimed at integrating real-world assets into decentralized finance, sparking debate within the Aave community. A temperature check was conducted inviting the community to provide feedback on the release of Horizon's RWA products for institutions. The controversial part of the proposal indicated that if a token were to be created, the Aave DAO might receive a 15% allocation and revenue-sharing arrangement. This raised concerns that the new token could dilute the value of existing AAVE tokens and undermine AAVE's focus as the sole governance and utility token. The opposition was so strong that Marc Zeller of the Aave Chan Initiative publicly stated that he would not support the current form of the proposal. Kulechov clarified the situation to X, stating that the Aave DAO is not interested in introducing additional tokens, and developers will respect this consensus. With the token plan canceled, it is currently unclear whether Aave Labs will continue with the deployment of Horizon.

survey of institutions showed that analysts interviewed expect the European Central Bank to cut interest rates twice again this year, and no longer expect the bank's rates to fall below 2%. The monthly survey shows that after six rate cuts so far, the European Central Bank may still cut rates in April and June. However, unlike the previous survey, respondents expect the deposit rate (currently at 2.5%) to remain at 2% by the end of the survey period. In mid-February, a slight majority had expected rates to eventually drop to 1.75% by March 2026.

according to Cobo co-founder and CEO Shenyu's analysis, Strategy (MSTR) cleverly amplifies Bitcoin's high volatility by 2.5 times and transmits it to the US stock market. Professional institutions use this high volatility for arbitrage to gain short-term profits; MSTR obtains cash for hoarding a large amount of Bitcoin through issuing convertible bonds and ATM issuance; ordinary shareholders bear the risk of severe stock price fluctuations and short-term declines, but passively receive "Bitcoin income" with more Bitcoin per share; Bitcoin holders benefit from continuous market capital inflows and rising Bitcoin prices.
