Buying and staking AERO aligns with Animoca’s mission to generate value in open networks and support innovative protocols.

As noted in the post above, the company sees Aerodrome as a dominant player on Base. With more than 50% of the DEX total value locked (TVL) on the blockchain, Aerodrome has become the central liquidity hub for the ecosystem.

“Aerodrome is a key component in the engine behind Base’s DeFi growth and Coinbase is making it seamless for its CEX users to trade tokens which have liquidity on DEXs such as Aerodrome thus driving more value to Aerodrome voters. With sustainable tokenomics for $AERO and the team’s ability to execute, Aerodrome has proven its standing as a key player in Base infrastructure,” Animoca Brands posted on X.

The investment follows a pattern of institutional backing for Aerodrome, including previous acquisitions by entities like Coinbase Ventures and Wintermute Ventures.

Alexander Cutler, CEO of Dromos Labs and a core contributor to Aerodrome, lauded Animoca’s move. He noted that AERO’s value is accessible only through open market participation and active involvement.

Price outlook: AERO bulls eye breakout above $1

At the time of writing, AERO is up nearly 2% on the day and has extended the uptick to 10% in the past 24 hours.

Over the past week, AERO has climbed 26%. This sees it outperform the broader market gains and form an uptrend since touching lows of $0.70 on Oct. 17.

Currently, price hovers in a key range near $0.99 as bulls aim for a decisive breakout above the $1 psychological level.

If AERO strengthens above $1, it would allow bulls to target the next hurdles around $1.2 and then $1.34.

The RSI at 70 on the 4-hour chart nonetheless suggests gains will firmly push AERO into the overbought zone. However, the MACD points to strength for buyers as the signal line cuts above the zero line, suggesting bullish momentum.
