Why is $AAVE up 10.0% while half the feed is arguing about everything else?

I checked it early and it was already looking stronger than the usual noisy names. By the time I looked again after lunch, $AAVE was near $101.57 and still holding the move instead of giving it all back. That caught my attention more than the green candle itself.

What makes it interesting today is the context. The market is up overall, but the main thing I keep seeing is that headline about stocks overtaking crypto on Hyperliquid. Meanwhile, Nasdaq is down 0.64%, $COIN is off 1.78%, and $MSTR is down 2.09%. So to me, this doesn't look like a simple "risk is back everywhere" kind of day.

My read is a lot narrower: it looks like money is rotating into a familiar DeFi name people already understand instead of chasing the messier stories all over the timeline. I don't think this proves a new trend yet, but today's move in AAVE feels more deliberate than random.
