Marc Zeller, founder of the Aave-Chan Initiative (ACI), said he sold his AAVE tokens when he resigned from Chaos Labs, adding that he may still hold only a minimal “dust-level” amount. According to Odaily, Zeller made the comment in response to a community user asking whether he still held AAVE or had already sold. In earlier remarks, Zeller announced that ACI had ended operations, concluding more than three years of governance work. He said that during ACI’s participation in governance, the Aave protocol shifted from an annual deficit of about $35 million to annual revenue of about $150 million. Zeller also said the AAVE token rose by about ninefold over the same period and that an active governance network was established, consisting of core contributors, service providers, and governance delegates. He added that ACI demonstrated that a DAO governance model can operate effectively and outperform competitors with greater resources. Zeller said he plans to continue advancing new projects, with related information expected to be announced soon.

A Nomura Research Institute economist said Japan’s prime minister could use an economic policy blueprint to influence the timing of the Bank of Japan’s next interest-rate move. According to Jin10, economist Takahide Kiuchi said that if Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi uses her “Basic Policy” economic blueprint—expected to receive cabinet approval this month—to block further rate hikes, it could delay the BOJ’s next step. Kiuchi said that even if the government opposes higher rates, the BOJ would still raise interest rates when it deems it necessary, but it may to some extent respect the government’s preferences on timing. He added that government pressure against BOJ rate hikes could further weaken the yen and push bond prices lower, which he said would undermine the stability of Japan’s economy and financial markets.
