On February 25, Marc Zeller, founder of the Aave ecosystem contribution organization ACI, released a public report detailing Aave Labs' financial history. According to BlockBeats, since 2017, Aave Labs has received approximately $86 million in capital support through ICOs, venture capital funding, and direct DAO grants. During the 2017 ICO, the founding team retained 23% of LEND tokens, which were later converted to AAVE at a 100:1 ratio. The report highlights that Labs had a capital base of around $48.7 million before receiving approximately $37.4 million in DAO grants. Currently, they are seeking an additional $51 million through the "Aave Will Win" proposal. The report raises concerns about the performance of Labs' products, noting that six independent products launched outside the core protocol have either failed or not achieved profitability. The RWA project Horizon, despite claims of surpassing $1 billion in scale, has an actual collateral scale of about $135 million, heavily concentrated in a single asset. Since its launch in August 2025, Horizon has generated approximately $216,000 in revenue for the DAO, while incurring costs of around $5.25 million, resulting in a return on investment ratio of about 24:1. Additionally, the report mentions that early core developers of Aave V1, V2, and V3.0 left Labs between 2021 and 2022, with V3.0 considered the last major protocol version led by Labs. Subsequent versions have been primarily advanced by DAO service providers. Governance votes have seen significant influence from a single large delegated address, sparking community discussions on governance power concentration and funding efficiency. These controversies arise amid the review of a new $17.5 million product growth grant proposal, intensifying discussions within the Aave community regarding fund allocation, performance disclosure, and governance transparency.

On February 25, the forex market witnessed a notable shift, with the Australian dollar, Norwegian krone, and New Zealand dollar rising approximately 6%, 5%, and 4% respectively, making them the best-performing currencies among the G10. According to BlockBeats, traders are reassessing global interest rate paths, betting that major economies may end their rate-cutting cycles and refocus on combating inflation. The Reserve Bank of Australia has initiated a new round of rate hikes this month, with recent data showing its preferred 'trimmed mean' inflation rate rising to 3.4%, reinforcing expectations for another rate increase in May. Norway is priced for a rate hike in the first half of the year due to unexpected inflation, while the New Zealand dollar benefits from market bets on rate hikes in the coming months. The strengthening of these three 'commodity currencies' is supported by rising oil and copper prices. Strategists note that with Australian interest rates surpassing those of the U.S. for the first time since 2017, coupled with a weakening dollar and increased demand for diversified capital allocation, funds are flowing into economies with relatively stable fiscal conditions and commodity exposure. Meanwhile, although the market still anticipates two to three rate cuts by the Federal Reserve this year, some institutions believe it may remain unchanged throughout the year, with the risk of inflation staying above the 2% target fueling discussions of a 'new hawkish era.'
