"stani please come to your senses its clear what $AAVE holders want the only people defending Aave Labs are. Aave Labs employees if you want to develop your own fintech products thats fine but an Aave savings app called Aave should be owned by the DAO and exclusively benefit $AAVE personally I think Aave Labs product building skills are invaluable for the Aave protocol and hope you remain aligned in the future yours truly lito https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2003239646881280408 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2003239646881280408"

"After four years we are finally ready to share that the SEC has concluded its investigation into the Aave Protocol. This process demanded significant effort and resources from our team and from me personally as the founder to protect Aave its ecosystem and DeFi more broadly. DeFi has faced unfair regulatory pressure in recent years. Were glad to put this behind us as we enter a new era where developers can truly build the future of finance. DeFi will win. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2000963157150388267 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2000963157150388267"
