PANews reported on December 17th that, according to The Block, an Aave DAO participant has questioned whether the relationship between the Aave protocol, the DAO, and Aave Labs needs to be reassessed. User tulipking proposed in a recent governance forum post that the Aave DAO should seize control of Aave Labs' intellectual property (including its released code and trademarks) and company equity by filing a "poison pill" lawsuit. This move aims to replace control of the lending protocol and solidify ownership for all AAVE token holders. This "declaration of sovereignty" marks a further escalation of the ongoing debate among Aave community members regarding how protocol revenue should be distributed and which organization will ultimately control Aave.

In his proposal, tulipking wrote: “This is a defensive ‘poison pill’ designed to protect the DAO from centralized control and ensure that all value flows back to AAVE holders. Aave Labs has effectively privatized assets that should belong to the community by monetizing the Aave brand, frontend, and user base without the DAO’s approval. If Labs is unwilling to voluntarily share revenue and control, then the DAO must take everything back.” In addition to gaining complete control of Aave’s intellectual property, tulipking also proposed to take back “all past revenue generated by Aave Labs from Aave-branded products” and take over the company’s equity, essentially “transforming Aave Labs into a wholly owned subsidiary of the DAO.”

Crypto Shows Mixed Reaction To Rate Cuts and Powell’s Speech

The post Crypto Shows Mixed Reaction To Rate Cuts and Powell’s Speech appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Jerome Powell gave a speech justifying the Fed’s decision to push one rate cut today. Even though a cut took place as predicted, most leading cryptoassets began falling after a momentary price boost. Additionally, Powell directly addressed President Trump’s attempts to influence Fed policy, claiming that it didn’t impact today’s decisions. In previous speeches, he skirted around this elephant in the room. Sponsored Sponsored Powell’s FOMC Speech The FOMC just announced its decision to cut US interest rates, a highly-telegraphed move with substantial market implications. Jerome Powell, Chair of the Federal Reserve, gave a speech to help explain this moderate decision. In his speech, Powell discussed several negative economic factors in the US right now, including dour Jobs Reports and inflation concerns. These contribute to a degree of fiscal uncertainty which led Powell to stick with his conservative instincts, leaving tools available for future action. “At today’s meeting, the Committee decided to lower the target range…by a quarter percentage point… and to continue reducing the size of our balance sheet. Changes to government policies continue to evolve, and their impacts on the economy remain uncertain,” he claimed. Crypto’s Muted Response The Fed is in a delicate position, balancing the concerns of inflation and employment. This conservative approach may help explain why crypto markets did not react much to Powell’s speech: Bitcoin (BTC) Price Performance. Source: CoinGecko Sponsored Sponsored Bitcoin, alongside the other leading cryptoassets, exhibited similar movements during the rate cuts and Powell’s speech. Although there were brief price spikes immediately after the announcement, subsequent drops ate these gains. BTC, ETH, XRP, DOGE, ADA, and more all fell more than 1% since the Fed’s announcement. Breaking with Precedent However, Powell’s speech did differ from his previous statements in one key respect: he directly addressed claims that President Trump is attacking…
