Aave's exploration in DeFi insurance can influence its token value. By enhancing security through insurance mechanisms, it reduces risks for users, potentially attracting more capital. For example, covering losses from smart - contract failures can boost confidence in the platform. Improved security also makes Aave more competitive, driving up demand for AAVE tokens. However, if the insurance solutions face regulatory hurdles or fail to deliver as promised, it could erode trust and harm the token's value.
