Aerodrome Finance's native token AERO has soared to $1.4852, marking a 450% increase from its 2025 low, driven by robust fundamentals. DeFi Llama data shows Aerodrome processed $1.122 billion in 24-hour volume, ranking as the fourth-largest decentralized exchange. Monthly revenue jumped 26% to $15.1 million, with further growth anticipated from Coinbase's upcoming DEX integration, as highlighted by analyst @wagmiAlexander.
On-chain metrics reveal strong accumulation: whale holdings increased 1.5% monthly to 13.27 million tokens, while smart money investors boosted positions by 22% in 30 days to 16.34 million tokens. Exchange reserves dropped from 1.33 billion to 1.3 billion tokens since July, signaling reduced selling pressure.
Technically, AERO broke an ascending channel at $1.1123 with a golden cross formation, targeting $2 (45% upside). However, recent gains face skepticism—despite a 4% daily rise amid a broader 4% market dip, trading volume fell 23% to $162.41 million, and futures open interest dropped 16% to $97 million. This divergence suggests speculative activity rather than organic demand. Immediate support lies at $1.31, with resistance at $1.55.
