AAVE Price Prediction: Can Bitcoin Collateral Fuel a Rally? Bitrue Insights

AAVE crypto price has slipped about 12% in a week, yet Aave may be nearing its biggest new collateral market in years.

According to Bitrue AI analysis, native Bitcoin collateral could fuel a rally towards $150 to $160, but only once the proposal clears governance and AAVE reclaims $140.

For background on recent security concerns, read our guide on whether AAVE is still safe in 2026.

• Babylon has proposed letting Aave V4 users borrow stablecoins against native Bitcoin without wrapping it.
• According to Bitrue AI analysis, AAVE must hold $129 and reclaim $140 before a move towards $150 to $160 becomes likely.

How Bitcoin Collateral Could Change Aave

Aave V4 went live on Ethereum on March 30, 2026, using a hub and spoke model where lending markets share one liquidity pool.

Babylon Labs submitted a request for comment on October 14 to bring native Bitcoin into that system.

Here's how the proposal works:

• Users lock BTC in vaults on the Bitcoin blockchain, without wrapping it or using a custodian.
• A Babylon Spoke would let users borrow stablecoins against that locked BTC.
• Aave DAO would keep all of the first $500,000 in annual revenue from the integration.

The proposal still needs a Snapshot vote with at least 320,000 AAVE in support, followed by a final onchain vote.

According to Bitrue AI analysis, Bitcoin collateral could unlock major new borrowing demand, but the market will not price it fully before approval.

Bitrue AI AAVE Technical Analysis

Here's what the derivatives data shows:

• Futures open interest stands near $336 million.
• Futures volume of about $255 million is roughly four times spot volume of about $61 million.
• Funding is close to neutral at about 0.005%, and 24 hour liquidations total only about $358,000.

According to Bitrue AI analysis, neutral funding and low liquidations show leverage has already been flushed out.

A dormant wallet moved about $22.9 million in AAVE to exchanges this week, adding selling risk.

Support sits at $129, then $120, and finally the 200 day average near $107.

Resistance sits at $140, then the 50 day average near $150, followed by $155 to $160.

According to Bitrue AI analysis, the bias stays bearish below $140 and turns bullish on a daily close above $150.

Can AAVE Rally on Bitcoin Collateral?

Bitrue AI analysis highlights three scenarios for the coming weeks.

Here's how they compare:

• In the base case, AAVE ranges between $129 and $150 while the Babylon proposal moves through governance.
• In the bullish case, a Snapshot approval and a close above $150 open a move to $160, about 18% above today's price.
• In the bearish case, whale selling and a loss of $129 send AAVE towards $120.

According to Bitrue AI analysis, the base case is most likely until a vote date is set.

Active traders can follow these levels on the AAVE futures market.
