According to Odaily, Wintermute founder Evgeny Gaevoy expressed concerns on X regarding the significant role AAVE plays in Wintermute's investment portfolio, noting that neither he nor Wintermute holds equity in Aave Labs.
Gaevoy addressed the ongoing debate over the 'brand control' vote, highlighting a disconnect between AAVE Labs and a substantial portion of AAVE token holders regarding who should capture value. He warned that if unresolved, this misalignment could hinder the token's development. Gaevoy criticized the escalation of the conflict as unnecessary and destructive, emphasizing that choosing a course of action without clear execution details is pointless. He also noted the political maneuvers surrounding the vote. While acknowledging Stani's communication shortcomings, Gaevoy argued that the criticism from the opposing side was excessive and directly harmed the token's price, suggesting that such matters should not be rushed.
Due to these concerns, Wintermute plans to vote against the proposal but hopes AAVE Labs will seriously address the issue and consider long-term solutions for capturing token value.
