According to Areo’s latest official announcement, the strategic merger has now been officially completed. One is the largest decentralized exchange in the Base ecosystem, and the other is a leading DEX on OP Mainnet. How could anyone not be excited about the unified liquidity layer they’ve launched together, spanning the entire Ethereum ecosystem? However, while keeping an eye on the prices of $AERO and $VELODROME , everyone should still remember the various risks involved in the token migration. Jian also thinks the price of the new AERO token won’t gain momentum that quickly. After all, a protocol merger is only successful once liquidity, fees, and users have truly been integrated. Merging names happens quickly; merging economic models usually takes longer.
