Aave (AAVE), the native token of the largest decentralized finance (DeFi) lending protocol, strongly rebounded from last week's lows breaking through key resistance levels on Friday afternoon.

The token gained another 2% over the past 24 hours and is up 6% this week. It has established support at the $284-$285 levels, while it's currently consolidating around $290.

The move occurred as the broader crypto market rallied, with gains across the board and bitcoin (BTC) breaking above $122,000, inching closer to its August record high. The broader DeFi market also accelerated, hitting a $219 billion in assets across protocols, a fresh record level, DeFiLlama data shows.

Deposits on Aave also climbed to a record $74 billion, cementing its top position among DeFi protocols, per DeFiLlama data.
