Aave token (AAVE) was listed on the regulated Bullish exchange, expanding its trading availability to customers in Hong Kong starting October 9, 2025. Bullish is a regulated digital asset exchange known for market-leading order depth and tight spreads. Participation is via the Bullish platform for traders located in Hong Kong. Recent News Bullish, backed by investor Peter Thiel, recently gained significant attention with a major IPO in 2025 raising substantial capital. Aave continues to perform steadily with price movements noted in October 2025 as DeFi sector grows to a record USD 219 billion total value locked (TVL). The listing enhances liquidity options for Aave holders particularly in Asia-Pacific markets. Future Plans Aave aims to further broaden its DeFi ecosystem and user base throughout 2025 and beyond, with strategic exchange listings such as Bullish supporting greater market access in Asia. Roadmap focuses include protocol improvements, cross-chain integrations, and community engagement. Onchain Data TVL: Approx. USD 219 billion for Aave DeFi ecosystem (as of early October 2025).

Example reactions: "Great to see Aave expanding in Asia!" / "Bullish is promising but still a smaller exchange." / "Looking forward to more liquidity options."
