#aerodrome-finance 1'm bullish on $AERO Bay Area standup, 9:20 PDT. The ship date is the story: Aerodrome and Velodrome go live as one exchange, Aero, on Oct 21 at 8:00 PM EDT (Oct 22, 00:00 UTC), across seven chains: Base, Ethereum, OP Mainnet, Arc, Ink, Robinhood Chain and Arbitrum. AERO upgrades 1:1, VELO at 0.044. Old emissions stop at launch, so LPs who skip the upgrade portal stop earning. Tape a day before deploy: No.9 on the CMC 1h board and No.14 on 4h, rank 71, at $0.8509 (about ₩1,132). Moves: +0.11% 1h, +6.57% 4h, +9.09% 24h, still -4.34% on the week. Volume $72.9M, up 43% day over day, on an $837.6M cap (FDV $1.70B). Price sits at 80% of a $0.7740 to $0.8698 day; 7d band $0.7677 to $0.9695. Leverage is a footnote here: OKX open interest about $2.6M, funding +0.0050% per 8h. Spot is doing the routing. Thesis: holding above the 4h open at $0.7985 keeps this liquidity lane open into the merge. Invalidation: a 4h close under $0.7740, the day low. Risk: circulating supply can grow from about 1.01B to a max of about 1.07B after the upgrade, and launch-week migrations tend to be sell-the-news. Reported, not yet live: Slipstream V3 and cross-chain Metaswaps ship with Aero. Same question this week, physical edition: Arctic Trade Lanes tracks which northern corridors clear first, and the ATL token is upcoming, nothing more to say until details are public.
