Senator Young Asks SEC to Protect U.S. From "Chinese Market Manipulation"
- On June 9 and 10, 2025, DeFi tokens including AAVE and Uniswap surged over 20% after SEC Chair Paul Atkins announced regulatory exemptions for DeFi platforms at a Washington, DC roundtable.
- This rally followed Atkins' pivot from prior SEC leadership by directing staff to explore an 'innovation exemption' that reduces restrictions and supports DeFi innovation.
- AAVE traded between $241.92 and $314.06 with daily volume surpassing $1 billion, attracting raised price targets and growing investor interest amid stronger technical momentum.
- Industry figures hailed the event as a symbolic milestone, with analyst Poseidon calling AAVE essential for portfolios during Ethereum season and Alan tweeting 'this news makes me very happy.'
- The regulatory clarity and pro-innovation stance could increase capital flows into DeFi, while cautious market sentiment keeps sustainability of the rally under watch.
